Every single decision you make as a leader has an effect on the spirit of those you lead.
Is the ambient noise level of my life low enough for me to hear the whispers of the Lord?
Nothing that matters in this world happens unless leaders lead it.
To be developed as a leader, failure must be allowed. Failure only helps us improve.
You can live and lead small, live and lead safe, live and lead selfishly, or you can pursue a grander vision.
Visionary people face the same problems everyone else faces; but rather than get paralyzed by their problems, visionaries immediately commit themselves to finding a solution.
Church work ought to be at its core the work of loving people like God loves them
The mark of community is not the absence of conflict. It's the presence of a reconciling spirit.
A leader's most valuable asset is not their time but their energy and ability to energize others.
The grander the vision the greater the price tag.
If leaders don't have an antidote for fear they will be crushed by it. What is your antidote?
It's one thing to see a vision; it's another thing to be seized by a vision.
The Lord's Prayer is an excellent model, but it was never intended to be a magical incantation to get God's attention. Jesus gave this prayer as a pattern to suggest the variety of elements that should be included when we pray.
Dignity does not float down from heaven it cannot be purchased nor manufactured. It is a reward reserved for those who labor with diligence.
