Enjoy every single day you get to lead because it will be over in a blink.

Most people feel best about themselves when they have given their very best.

If leaders don't have an antidote for fear they will be crushed by it. What is your antidote?

Simplified living is about more than doing less. It’s being who God called us to be, with a wholehearted, single-minded focus.

Ten years ago, 15 years ago, I think the church would have been asleep at the switch. This level of activism and engagement with the needs of society by local churches I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime.

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.

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!
