Why is RISK so important for growth?

On this episode of Truth + Adventure + Leadership, the big question we explore is: "Why is risk so important for growth?"

Bryan just returned from training Wheaton grad students in Colorado where things didn't go as planned, but that was a good thing! From river crossings to leadership challenges, we explore why risk is essential for growth, how the stretch zone works, and why failure can be the best teacher.

Happy Thanksgiving! Is Gratitude a Leadership Skill?

Gratitude is more than an attitude.

It’s a leadership skill that takes practice to hone. It inspires & strengthens those around us. Gratitude shifts our focus from what’s lacking to what’s abundant, helping us lead with hope & resilience even in challenging times. At Summit Outdoor Leadership, we are committed to cultivating this powerful skill through our training & outdoor ministry efforts.

So… Happy Thanksgiving! …I pray that—in the hustle & bustle of the season—you get a chance to slow down and reflect on the things worth being thankful for.
