Things I have Learned!

Just some thought of a few things I have learned in my short time in ministry.

• When you try to please everyone, you please no one. People are going to leave your ministry. We need to be willing to bless them, and let them go.
• Vision is what matters. A leader must always cast vision. People need to know where you are leading them.
• Expectations in the Church should be much higher than that of the rest of the world. Someone gave me a qoute one time that said...

"You always have to have bigger ideas than your life. If you want to be happy, lower your expectations; but the truth is, if you want to be great... raise them".

• Leaders spend way to much time pampering the complaining Christ follower, and less time reaching the unchurched.
• There is no other place on earth that I would rather serve at then lifeBridge!!!
• God shows me everyday how awesome He really is.
• Transition and change are positive things when you are totally relying on God.
• Relationships are what matter to God. For that is the only thing you can take to heaven with you.
• As a leader I need to surround myself with trustworthy, committed, passionate, and reliable men that have my back.

Well, these are just a few of many things that God has taught me over the last few years. There are many more and I will share them later.

Just some thoughts!

InHim,
