Vision is something pastors and churches cannot afford to live without.

When you finish reading the book [Today Matters], take the daily dozen and list them in order of how well you do them. For example, the one that I would put at the highest for me is attitude or relationships because I'm really strong at both of those. At the bottom would be health. What I tell people is, "Take one month and work on one of the daily dozen for a whole year." And so it's really a one-year personal growth plan.

Creativity requires the willingness to look stupid.

Vision is a picture of a desired future; a picture of something that I don't possess right now, but it is something I want to see and experience, and something I want the people I am leading to experience.

Brokenness involves removing inappropriate pride and self-reliance and building healthy God-reliance.

It is truly one day at a time.

Success is not a destination thing, it’s a daily thing.
