Sponsored by the KBC’s leadership development department, the event will run from 9 a.m.– 3 p.m. Concepts presented in McNeal’s book will be discussed at the event, including how to find God’s purpose and maximize one’s strengths in leadership. “This event is designed to help Kentucky Baptists to choose and to live an abundant life that has impact and intentionality,” said Richard Adams, leadership development department director for the KBC. “We need to discover that God created each of us uniquely, and that our strengths help us lead effectively.” McNeal serves as the missional leadership specialist at Leadership Network of Dallas, Texas, and has authored several other books.
