In June 2012, Mark Hart, then executive vice president for Life Teen, delivered a talk titled "Role Call: What it Means to be Present" at the Student Leadership Conference at Franciscan University of Steubenville. During the address, Hart stated that he knew "very little about leadership" and reflected on his 18 years in professional ministry, describing God as "beautifully inefficient in calling some of the worst sinners forward to lead his church." He recounted a personal story in which a woman confronted him about a "sin of omission," teaching him a lesson about "true encounter" and "active presence," which he contrasted with a tendency to focus on formulating responses rather than listening. Hart concluded his talk with a prayer asking for wisdom and the willingness to serve, referencing "the basin" and "the towel" as symbols of leadership through service.
