Faith Under Fire: A Keynote on Resilience and Leadership

The greatest tests of our lives often transform into incredible opportunities to discover our true strength. In this deeply personal and inspiring keynote, Lee Wright illustrates how overcoming adversity can either define us or develop us. Through authentic storytelling and practical principles of courage leadership, audiences will learn how faith, especially in times of crisis, like ‘Faith Under Fire,’ can help sustain them through life’s most challenging moments.

Life can change in a single moment. A diagnosis. A loss. A setback. A crisis. A tragedy. None of us are promised a life free from hardship, but we are given a choice in how we respond to it. In his inspiring book, Faith Under Fire, Lee Wright shares the powerful lessons he learned after surviving one of the deadliest terrorist attacks against U.S. military personnel at Khobar Towers. More importantly, he reveals how faith, resilience, and courageous leadership can transform adversity into a platform for growth, service, and hope. This keynote is not just about surviving tragedy; it focuses on learning to lead through it. Participants leave with renewed courage, practical strategies, and a fresh perspective on overcoming adversity and life's greatest challenges.
