John O’Leary, a keynote speaker for LCEF’s 2013 Fall Leadership Conference, signs a participant’s copy of his parents’ book about the family’s experiences around John’s suffering and healing from what were considered fatal burns when he was 11 years old. In his keynote, O’Leary credited God’s gift of grace — echoing the conference theme — for helping him survive and thrive. (LCMS Communications/Joe Isenhower Jr.)
