This blog post goes along with Episode 9 of our Texas Leadership Summit Podcast
Host: Tim Webb, Founder & Board Member at Texas Leadership Summit
Guest: John Davis, Texas Church Leaders: https://www.texaschurchleaders.org/
Suzanne Flammer, Citizens United: https://www.citizensunited.org/
Tressie Roark, Moms For America: https://momsforamerica.us/
Success in church leadership at the local level is closely linked to a personal belief and a dedication to making a difference in the community, as shown by church leaders such as John, Suzanne, and Tressie. Their path started with personal revelations, with each of them experiencing a unique calling that pushed them to form their own groups. Their work was not merely driven by personal conviction but was deeply connected to their religious beliefs, as they faced major personal hurdles and financial issues. The core of their leadership is captured in the idea that genuine success depends on divine direction and the collective work of many, highlighting the importance of faith in keeping them moving forward. These leaders prove that overcoming challenges and keeping everyone together is essential, and their stories underscore that being an effective church leader involves a combination of steadfast belief, continuous effort, and the skill to bring people together and motivate them toward a shared goal.
In this episode, We are joined by John Davis, who is with Texas Church Leaders; Tressie Roark, who is with Moms For America; and Suzanne Flammer, with Citizens United. These great leaders shed more light on what inspired them to become church leaders, how personal faith moved them to start their groups, how they started the groups, and praying for leadership. They also share their insights on the personal challenges they encountered along their leadership journey, politics and faith, the impacts of the challenges they faced, and their final remarks.
