“Leading a missional church is not for the faint of heart. It takes courage to push yourself beyond your comfort zone and to lead the church beyond it personal limits.”

“An angry leader is a scared leader or a hurt leader or a frustrated leader but most of all they are a vulnerable leader.”

“Cultivating spiritual intimacy is essential for leaders to live a vibrant missional life.”

“Even Satan can quote scripture out of context why are we surprised when men do it.”

“Hearing God’s voice is indispensable to moving through or around closed doors.”

“A leaders gentle reaction and sound instruction are their greatest weapons.”

“As missional leaders we need to see God as:Bigger than the problems we endure.Bigger than the pressures we experience.Bigger than the people who criticize us.Bigger than the pain we suffer.Bigger than the praise we receive.Bigger than the pride in our hearts.”

“Missional leaders not only feel the burden of God's mission but they also act on the burden and act upon it sacrificially. Leading a missional church is not for the faint of heart. It takes courage to push yourself beyond your comfort zone and to lead the church beyond it personal limits. Brokenness, inner turmoil and sacrifice will always be part of the missional leader's life.”

“Change leads to growth. Resistance leads to rigidity. Rigidity leads to ...”

“Great leaders are teachable leaders.”

“Forgiveness and restoration are two difference acts. Forgiveness can lead to restoration but restoration is not hinged to forgiveness.”

“Intimacy with God is not experienced through monolog prayers but through reflective listening as well as earnest petitioning.”

“Two types of leaders: there are thinkers and there are doers. Some are idea generators and others are the implementers.”

“Leaders are passionate learners. Leaders are always seeking ways to improve themselves by sharpening their skills. They fully embrace the fact that growing leaders lead growing organizations.”

“God is so much bigger than our ‘what ifs’ that he can turn them into ‘why nots”

“God’s discipline has nothing to do with rejection but more to do with refinement.”

“Lordship and rapport are the keys to save us from being combative and make us more attractive in spiritual conversations.”

“A hardness to change reveals a hardness of heart.”

“Father, help me focus on my strengths and trust others to fill the gaps of my weaknesses”Every leader knows the skills in which they excel. They also are aware of those tasks that they maintain a certain level of competence along with those duties they struggle in accomplishing. In my experience there are "want to’s" and the "have to’s" of leadership. The "want to’s" energize a leader and the "have to’s" zap the leader’s creativity and time. The quicker a leader can find those around them that will fill the gaps of their weaknesses, the more effective they will be in achieving God’s mission.”

“Spiritual authority is the direct result of God doing a greater work in the deeper areas of a leader’s life.”
