39 Leadership Quotes And Lessons From Johnny Hunt And Gov. Mike Huckabee – Johnny Hunt Mens Conference Opening Session

This weekend I am attending the Johnny Hunt Mens Conference at First Baptist Church Woodstock (GA).  Dr. Johnny Hunt is one of America’s great pastors and this conference is dealing with the issue of forgiveness.  
This has become an annual must-attend event for me.  Each year I am coming out of the busy holiday season, trying to get the new year started well, preparing taxes and a number of other obligations.  As a result, I am often burnt out at the end of January.  Candidly, this year was no different.
This weekend is a gift to myself and my family to recharge my batteries and be the leader God has called me to be.
I need forgiveness.  I need to forgive others.  The following are 31 Leadership Quotes And Lessons From Dr. Johnny Hunt On The Subject Of Forgivenss.  Gov. Mike Huckabee provided 8 additional comments as he was a special guest at the conference.

Bonus – A Quote From Dinner Tonight
“We don’t care about your registration.  We’re here to feed you.” – Each year, the men attending this event are treated to a steak (and it’s a large, tender steak) dinner.  Everything is first class.  No skimping on the food.  When I walked up to the food line, I presented my registration form to the gentleman who said those words.  Many leaders attending this conference have given others everything they have.  It is so nice to have people immediately exceeding expectations by reinvesting into you.
