If we were to boil down Christianity to its core, we'd be left with simply this: relationship with God. The living, loving God of the universe has spoken throughout history, and still speaks today - not just to pastors or priests, but to anyone who will listen. God will speak to you.

This is the only leadership life I get, my one and only shot at following God the way I feel him prompting me to do so. This isn't some pre-game warm-up. It's the game, and the clock is ticking!

The more varied the environments in which you exercise your leadership gift, the stronger that gift will become. You will become a far more effective leader.

Authentic Christianity is a supernatural walk with a living, dynamic, communicating God.

Life's great moments evolve from simples acts of cooperation with God's mysterious promptings.

Leaders, your God-given job is not merely to preside over something, not to pontificate to your underlings how smart you are, not merely to preserve something from its gradual demise; it's to figure out what God wants to get done in this world, figure out what role you play in that, and then to move something or someone from here to there.

God wants to father all of us until we're dead sure of his approval, his guiding power and his promise of heaven.
