People without clear vision are easily distracted, have a tendency to drift from one idea to another and often make foolish decisions that rob them of their dreams.

Believe what you want But don't dumb down what Jesus said.

As a leader it is your job to protect the missional integrity of the Jesus gathering to which you have been called. It is your responsibility to see to it that the church under your care continues as a gathering of people in process; a place where the curious, the unconvinced, the skeptical, the used-to-believe and the broken, as well as the committed, informed and sold-out come together around Peter's declaration that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Leaders, if you allow wonder to shut down in you, you will shut it down in everyone around you.

Don't be fair, be engaged.

What could be and should be can’t be until God is ready for it to be.

The greatest motivator of change is a crystal-clear vision of what the future should look like.
