How can setbacks, disasters, and hardships actually help us flourish in both life and leadership? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Gayle Beebe. Gayle is the president of Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California. He's had opportunities to serve and contribute to the global church in a number of ways. He's written several books, including his latest entitled The Crucibles That Shape Us. Together, Gayle and Jason explore how God helps us navigate those defining challenges in our leadership. Gayle also shares some specific ways that these hardships provide passageways to experiencing God at a deeper level and serving his kingdom.
