The hope that Christians can have in the midst of suffering does not lessen the pain or difficulty. The gospel\u2014that God is with us in every trial and temptation\u2014gives us the strength we need to face suffering not with fear, but with courage. In this seminar, we will explore these themes more deeply.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n\n          <div class=\"tab\">\n            <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"faq304\" name=\"faq\">\n            <label class=\"tab-label\" for=\"faq304\">\n              <p class=\"icon-plus\">+<\/p>\n              <p>The Gospel and Leadership &#8211; Jonathan Iverson (Director, International &#038; Pacific (Asia) at The MTW)\n<\/p>\n            <\/label>\n            <div class=\"tab-content\">\n              <div class=\"accordion_contentWrapper_bio\">\n                <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n                  <div class=\"wrapper-accordion-contents-full\">\n                    <div class=\"accordion-thumb-full\">\n                      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cbijapan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/event\/portrait-jonathan-iverson.jpg\" alt=\"Jonathan Iverson\">\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"accordion-text-full\">\n                      <p>True leadership begins with the gospel\u2019s transforming power.
