How is the Gospel informing and shaping the front stage and back stage of our lives as leaders? Jeff Vanderstelt is pastor of Soma Church (Tacoma, WA) and author of Saturate: Being Disciples in the Everyday Stuff of Life. He will be speaking on Gospel principles out of his own journey:
“A problem for many pastor leaders can be that we aren’t very self-aware. I wasn’t aware of my own sense of self-importance (arrogance), and I didn’t know how much I needed people to like me or need me (codependency). Thinking too highly of myself, while also falsely believing what people really need is more of me — more of my time and more of my ministry — was not only idolatrous, but deeply damaging to my own soul, my family, and the health of the church.”

Jeff Vanderstelt is lead teaching pastor at Doxa Church in Bellevue, Washington, and visionary leader of the Soma Family of Churches and Saturate Ministry resources. He is author of “Gospel Fluency” and “Saturate.” He and his wife have three children.
