If it's the last thing I do, I will give every ounce of the rest of my life to helping leaders and churches get better.

Whenever you see something going well - whenever light begins to chase back the darkness that threatens to engulf our world - look closely. There stands a leader who is holding that candle.

To be developed as a leader, failure must be allowed. Failure only helps us improve.

It takes a great deal of courage to follow another person's lead.

I can write about prayer, you can read about prayer, but sooner or later you have to fall to your knees and just plain pray. Then, and only then, will you begin to operate in the vein of God's miracle-working ways.

Jesus is not directing the angelic choir, taking long naps, or doing crossword puzzles. He is completely focused on building his church, the hope of the world.

Destructive fear must be stopped in its tracks or it will undermine the life God invites us to live.
