Where Greatness Lies

from The Stephen Mansfield Podcast

Greatness is often associated today with wealth, talent and fame. Yet the great lives of history reveal a different story. True greatness comes from defending a defenseless people, giving voice to those who have no voice, or helping to strengthen the weak. In this sense, greatness comes not from fame, talent nor wealth, but rather from giving oneself to a people or cause without hope of personal gain. In this podcast, Stephen explores this theme and urges us all to ponder our opportunities to invest in lives other than our own. True greatness, he believes, is in reach for all of us.
