In this Leadership Table session, Dr. Joseph Mattera unpacks one of the most urgent issues facing the modern Church—the separation of spiritual charisma from the crucified life.

Too often, leaders build ministries on gifting, personality, and platform while neglecting the refining work of the cross. When charisma is divorced from character, compromise is inevitable.

This is a critical conversation for pastors, leaders, and believers seeking to build ministries—and lives—that can stand the test of time.
