I think a pastor used to be viewed as the one-stop ministry shop. The pastor served on every committee, volunteered at every event, and made all the hospital visits. I think that is changing and I think that is healthy. Both for the pastor and the congregation.

I'm a lifelong Vikings and Packers fan because I lived in both Minnesota and Wisconsin as a kid.

Prayer is not about letting God know your will; it's about completely submitting to him. You die to yourself.

You can delegate a lot of things, but you can't delegate PRAYER. I'd rather have one GOD idea than a thousand GOOD ideas.

Faith doesn't reduce uncertainty. Faith embraces uncertainty.

When we change the way that we pray, everything changes.

Whether we write lyrics or craft legislation, sell homes or teach classes, design spaces or open franchises, prayer is a critical part of the creative process. Don’t just brainstorm; praystorm.
