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.

The Church is a family expecting guests.

What breaks my heart is in the United States hundreds of thousands wake up on a Sunday and church never crosses their mind.

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

Giving up something now for something better later is not a sacrifice. It is an investment.

Dreamers dream about things being different. Visionaries envision themselves making a difference.

No one ever has the resources they need.
