As a pastor I've spent 30 years talking to people and heard every kind of story imaginable.

When people are convinced you want something FOR them rather than something FROM them, they are less likely to be offended when you challenge them.

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

What God originates, God orchestrates.

The more successful you are the less accessible you will become.

Serving people we don't see eye to eye with is the essence of Christianity. Jesus died for a world with which he didn't see eye to eye. If a bakery doesn't want to sell its products to a gay couple, it's their business. Literally. But leave Jesus out of it.

Next generation leaders are those who would rather challenge what needs to change and pay the price than remain silent and die on the inside
