Most people who want to get ahead do it backward. They think, 'I'll get a bigger job, then I'll learn how to be a leader.' But showing leadership skill is how you get the bigger job in the first place. Leadership isn't a position, it's a process.

Discontent with the status quo is a great catalyst for vision.

The goal of the pastor is not to get people to show up but to get people to grow up.

If you want to help others and become a person of influence, keep smiling, sharing, giving, and turning the other cheek.

Churches whose members fight with one another have lost their vision for the lost.

Leadership, like responsibility, is a voluntary act.

Successful people reject rejection.
