Jo and Steph talk the public and private life of leadership this week with Jennie Allen, founder of the If Gathering. Listen in to hear how God led Jennie to start the If Gathering, how she overcame doubts and fear as she stepped into leadership, and how her renewed perspective on trials has helped her persevere in the face of private trial in the midst of public success.

Discussion questions:

1) Do you receive or run from trials? Can you think of a time you have received a trial and you have grown as a result?

2) How does seeking the approval of man hold you back right now? What intentional steps can you take to know God's approval and keep moving forward?

3) Who are the people God has placed around you to encourage you that you are tempted to take for granted or fail to accept when things get tough?
