  • Thursday, October 23, 2014

Truth@Work, a marketplace ministry organization, has announced that it will be hosting its third annual “America’s Best Hope - Building Godly Leaders” Conference, on Friday Nov. 14. 

The event will take place live at its host location, Northview Church, in Carmel, Indiana (northeast Indianapolis), and it will also be simulcast in more than 10 cities across America (including Seattle, Wa, Phoenix, Az., Houston, Tx., Birmingham, Ala., Toledo, Oh., Chattanooga, Providence, R.I., and others).  

First Centenary UMC and Collegedale Seventh-day Adventist Church will be host churches for the simulcast event.  

This Christian leadership event features a lineup of speakers from business, arts and entertainment, education, and church leadership. Keynote speakers include Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy and Moody Radio’s Janet Parshall. Featured speakers include author/psychologist, internationally acclaimed speaker Dr. John Townsend, CEO of Growing Leaders Dr. Tim Elmore, actor/producer David A.R. White (star of 2014 Hollywood hit “God’s Not Dead”), Russ Crosson (CEO of Ronald Blue & Co.), Daniel Montgomery (senior pastor of Sojourn Church in Louisville, Ky. and founder of the Sojourn Network of churches), and others.  Previous speakers at this event have included author Pat Lencioni, Tyson Foods CEO Donnie Smith, author/pastor Francis Chan, former NFL Coach Tony Dungy, author/speaker Ken Blanchard, and many others. 

“Our country is in great need of a generation of mature, godly leaders who are committed to building into the lives of emerging leaders in all spheres of society,” shares Ray Hilbert, CEO of Truth@Work. “In a word, we need discipleship. One leader investing into the life of another – and this nation can be strengthened – one leader at a time.” 

A few years ago, Truth@Work began to expand its EDGE Mentoring initiative to equip a new generation of emerging leaders. EDGE provides structure, support and curriculum while it forms mentoring relationships between seasoned godly leaders and emerging leaders in the marketplace, said officials. 

Today, EDGE has expanded to over 25 states, and now has over 200 mentoring relationships that are transforming the marketplace.The “America’s Best Hope” event will inspire, encourage, challenge, and motivate individuals to be proactive toward building a nation of godly leaders, said officials.

The leadership event is expected to be attended live by 2,000 leaders and thousands more at remote broadcast locations.  

“People will be amazed at the incredible lineup of speakers assembled for this event,” says EDGE Mentoring Executive Director Dave Neff. “It is a very rare opportunity to hear from such a powerful group of leadership experts from a variety of fields of expertise in one day – and particularly at the very low cost to attend. We believe this is truly going to be a life-changing event that will have a ripple effect across our culture.  Attendees at this event will come away with a renewed sense of energy and commitment to engaging in building relationships and mentoring a new generation of emerging leaders.” 

Registration is required prior to the event and is $49 per person.
