Effective leaders do not fear passion. They welcome it. But from time to time passionate discussions digress into personal attacks, and real people get really hurt. In my view, leaders must head that off before it happens.

Great leadership is by definition relentlessly developmental.

You can live and lead small, live and lead safe, live and lead selfishly, or you can pursue a grander vision.

Whatever the capacity for human suffering, the church has a greater capacity for healing and wholeness.

Church is what you do. Church is who you are. Church is the human outworking of the person of Jesus Christ. Let's not go to Church, let's be the Church.

The only way to motivate people is to live a motivated life in front of them

God is looking for women and men who are full on for Him... people who have abandoned their own program and are just looking for how they can use their unique talents and abilities to further God's activities and programs in this world. These are the people God will tap on the shoulder and say, “Come with me and we're going to do something great in your lifetime. Come, we're going to do this together.
