When a leader walks into the room, a passion for truth had better enter with him. Authentic leadership does not emerge out of a vacuum. The leadership that matters most is convictional—deeply convictional. This quality of leadership springs from those foundational beliefs that shape who we are and establish our beliefs about everything else. Convictions are not merely beliefs we hold; they are those beliefs that hold us in their grip. We would not know who we are but for these bedrock beliefs, and without them we would not know how to lead.

Albert Mohler (* 1959) ist ein US-amerikanischer Theologe, Buchautor und seit 1993 Präsident des Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Er gilt als prägende Stimme des konservativen US-Evangelikalismus, vertritt ein striktes Bekenntnis zur biblischen Irrtumslosigkeit und kommentiert im Podcast „The Briefing“ das Zeitgeschehen aus calvinistisch-baptistischer Sicht. Bibellesern begegnet er als profilierter Apologet und Ausleger, während seine gesellschaftspolitischen Positionen sowie der institutionelle Umgang mit Missbrauchsfällen in seiner Denomination in der Kritik stehen.
