Send us Fan MailIn this episode, you'll hear John Guest give a talk on the price of leadership. John is 81 years old and is originally from the U.K. and he has been in ministry since he was 17 years old, when he gave his life to Christ at a Billy Graham meeeting. He has been in ministry for over over 40 years in Pittsburgh.This is an important talk for all of us to listen to. John has paid a huge price to obey the call of God on his life. He is not at his finish line yet, but he has made it further than a lot of other Christian leaders. My pastor says that he believes 2% of Christian leaders make it to their finish line. If that is true, you should be all the more eager to listen to what John has to say. This isn't someone who has talked a good game. This is someone who has lived a good game. I'd be absolutely thrilled if I knew my life would look anything like John's when I'm 81. The best part is, he's not slowing down. You'll hear about his newest Kingdom initiative in the talk. I think you'll come away from this talk fired up to go the distance in your journey!To see the notes and ways to connect with John Guest, go to the show notes at L3Leadership.org/episode161.

At the age of 18, while studying to be an engineer, he attended a Billy Graham crusade and committed his life to Christ. Shortly following his ordination, he moved to the United States as part of a Christian rock band, “The Exkursions.”He began his ministry in Pittsburgh nearly 40 years ago, serving as a youth pastor and then, shortly thereafter, as senior pastor and rector of Sewickley's St. Stephens Episcopal Church for more than 20 years.As co-founder of Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry (TESM), Guest had the opportunity to influence the Episcopal Diocese in Pittsburgh. During a very turbulent time in the Episcopal Church, he held firmly to conservative Biblical values and helped to establish a reforming influence nationwide.Guest has authored 10 books on the Christian lifestyle.He also participated in the Lausanne Committee on World Evangelism and co-founded the South American Missionary Society. Additionally, he helped found the Coalition for Christian Outreach (CCO), a ministry designed to support and equip young Christian college students.
