Don't get so addicted to vision that the people feel like equipment

Authentic Christians are persons who stand apart from others. Their character seems deeper, their ideas fresher, their spirit softer, their courage greater, their leadership stronger, their concerns wider, their compassion more genuine and their convictions more concrete.

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.

It's a huge responsibility to have influence and to steward it in a way that leads to God-honoring leadership.

Busyness is the unrivaled archenemy of spiritual authenticity.

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.

There is nothing like the local church when the local church is working right.
