#4.Things we learn from Martin Luther
When Our Needs Are Not Met
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort
and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
Leading with Love
“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy to a friend.”
Speaking the Truth
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter
The Courage of Leaning on Faith “We must accept finite disappointment,
but never lose infinite hope.” Examples
– Walt Disney– Henry Ford
Have A Dream... Then Communicate it and do it
