Leadership Summit was awesome today! A couple of highlights for you to chew on . . .
Gary Haugen of International Justice Mission said:
"Leadership that matters to God is leadership in endeavors and issues that matter to God."
And . . .
"Just because we are leading and others are following - doesn’t mean that we're leading them in ways that matter to the Father."
So a question to ask ourselves is: Are Jesus and I REALLY interested in the same things??
One more by Haugen . . . As he talked about how following Jesus many times leads us into scary places he said:
"Jesus did not come to make us safe, He came to make us brave."
So, is your faith making you more comfortable . . . or more courageous?

Man, this really spoke to me. I will forever remember "Is my faith making me more comfortable... or courageous?" May our faith get us in the ring knowing that God will fight! And may our experience of God's grace give us new boldness to step out in ways we never imagined! Thanks for sharing Brother.
God has made me very aware of this recently. Many Christian 'leaders" are leading others into their way of life that is accepted by the world, instead of leading them toward Christ!! Thank you for being a good leader, pastor and man of integrity!! May God continue to bless you!!
Thanks to both of you! Help us God to keep fighting for your Glory!
