This week, Becky's "virtual guest" is William Wilberforce, author of Real Christianity written in 1797! She is certain you will be amazed at how relevant and contemporary Wilberforce's words sound to a 21st century audience. Since (and perhaps because of) discovering his book in 2006, Becky has been inspired by Wilberforce's example of genuine faith combined with culture-changing leadership.

In this week's episode, Becky threads the story of The LEAD HOUSE, a prayer and fellowship house, she established in Washington, D.C., throughout her four proven "LEAD" tenets:

Loyalty to God's Word: This week in The Change Your Life Daily Bible, you will the blessing of God, delivered by Moses, in Numbers 6:24-26 in the Old Testament and hear Jesus Himself speak to leaders about living "above the culture." She describes the confession session of Psalm 51 (one of the more prominent Psalms of David), and a warning from Proverbs about the power of one's words. [Wilberforce was a strong proponent for daily Bible reading, believing that God's Words mattered most in guiding one's life, whether a parent, politician, pastor, or student.

Encouragement to Others: In this segment of The WEEKLY LEAD PODCAST, Becky shares encouraging Wilberforce's advice for "those who possess authentic faith" in a society where faith is declining.

Advocacy for the Young Generation: The very first paragraph of Wilberforce's book talks about how the education of a nation's young generation must be prioritized on "learning the things of God." He challenges readers in every century with the reminder that "authentic faith cannot be inherited!" Becky has spent 40 years with students in each of the past four decades--and yet, there has never been a more anxious time for students. Take her guest's advice to hear!

Devotion to Prayer: Similar to Wilberforce, Becky is calling a nation back to God through daily prayer and Bible reading--calling them "the essentials" of authentic faith!
