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

If you think you are the entire picture, you will never see the big picture.

The first order of things to be changed is me, the leader. After I consider how hard it is to change myself, then I will understand the challenge of trying to change others. This is the ultimate test of leadership.

If people around you don't believe in you, if they don't encourage you, then you need to find some people who do.

If you can raise up leaders, you will always have followers, but if you can't raise up leaders, you will only have followers.

Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you growing. That's the Law of Consistency. It doesn't matter how talented you are. It doesn't matter how many opportunities you receive. If you want to grow, consistency is key.

If you live life with the intention of making a difference in others' lives, your life will be full not empty.
