A Courageous Church // Elba Dolan // The Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2026

Elba Dolan challenges us to reject comfort and embrace courageous obedience in the mission of God. She explores how true discipleship is formed through bold faith, being filled by the Spirit, radical love, and a willingness to take risks for the sake of the Gospel. She reminds us that this generation does not need a timid church, but a courageous one: confident in the Gospel, courageous in the world, and commissioned for God’s mission.
