Meekness is the most important superpower at work because meekness is power under control. The leader who is meek is confident in their strengths and comfortable with their weaknesses — not concerned about what others say — is fearless about doing the right thing. Those that are truly meek know exactly where they’re going.

‘What are the marks of a supernaturally changed heart?’ This is one of the questions the Apostle Paul addresses as he writes to the church in Corinth. He’s not after some superficial outward tinkering, but instead a deep–rooted, life–altering change that takes place on the inside. In an age where pleasing people, puffing up your ego and building your résumé are seen as the methods to ‘make it’, the Apostle Paul calls us to find true rest in blessed self–forgetfulness. In this short and punchy book, best–selling author Timothy Keller, shows that gospel–humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self–condemnation.

Facing the facts is a great place to start for renewal — even redemption. Watch as Howard explains the blessings of mourning, being comforted, and helping others do the same. You will see how this is a great way to work and build something bigger than yourself.

Organizations, teams, and individuals must own their mistakes before they can make progress. We must admit the brutal facts, including where we have been off to grow and improve. Deep introspection and facing the facts lead to a correct view of self, which is the starting place for transformative growth.

There is often a tremendous benefit in starting at zero. Watch as Howard explains the spiritual and practical benefits of understanding our emptiness — our utter nothingness — without being filled completely with the One who made us, saves us, and gives our life and work purpose that leads to fulfillment.

Here is the bottom line: people can’t be successful if they don’t first get out of their own way. Most of us have to learn to empty ourselves in order to serve others. Once we are free of our own needs we can lead and effectively participate on teams and help others at the same time.

Following Jesus in the digital age is complicated. Technologies like the smartphone and social media have transformed the way we relate to God and to our loved ones. Back in 2007, when the iPhone launched, the church was barely prepared for how this new tech would shape us.
