Life is too short and the world too compassion-starved for you to keep subsisting in situations that drag you down and curtail your potential to help advance the Kingdom. There's just too much at stake.

You can never underestimate the amount of energy and frequency you must give to vision casting. You can never underestimate it.

You're a leader. It's your job to keep your passion hot. Do whatever you have to do, read whatever you have to read, go wherever you have to go to stay fired up. And don't apologize to anybody.

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

Leaders need to have a ruthless commitment to resolving relational conflict regardless of how bad it feels.

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

The local church is the hope of the world.
