Leadership requires a non-stop demand of fortitude from Day 1 to the end.

Obeying the Spirit instead of your own self-centered whims will lead you to places you've never been, challenge you in ways you have never been challenged, and invite levels of sacrifice you never dreamed you could make. This is the power and the promise of full-throttle faith, of living a life fueled solely by God.

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

One of the greatest joys of leadership is assembling and knitting together teams of fantastic people.

One of the greatest thrills in all of life is to feel the hand of God working through you and to be a part of the working reality of the church engaged in a movement larger than self.

God made you on purpose, for a purpose

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.
