For pastors who have a dream and who are walking in obedience but still don't have the resources they need, don't worry. Keep walking in obedience.

A successful person finds the right place for himself. But a successful leader finds the right place for others. By John Maxwell

Leaders are less interested in their position and more interested in their positive impact on others.

Openness by the leader paves the way for ownership by the people. Without ownership, changes will be short term. Changing people's habits and ways of thinking is like writing instructions in the snow during a snowstorm. Every twenty minutes the instructions must be rewritten, unless ownership is given along with instructions.

Exceptionally hard decisions can deplete your energy to the point at which you finally cave in. If you mentally crumble and degenerate into negative thinking, you'll magnify the problem to the point where it can haunt you.

A team doesn't win the championship if its players are working from different agendas.

I can't raise the bar of others if I haven't raised the bar for myself.
