The more you expect from a volunteer the more you get.

If you are a local church or non-profit, you live and die with volunteers.

We always have more ideas than we can fund.

In leadership there are always problems to be solved and tensions to be managed. When you try to solve a tension, you create a problem.

Uncertainty is not an indication of poor leadership; it underscores the need for leadership.

God is a God of systems and predictability and order, and God honors planning.

The issue is: how do you engage the audience? And one of the things I talk to our communicators about is: The outline is great; the stories are great. But how do you engage them? How do you make it feel like we are on a journey, not you are just up there giving me information.

Don’t strive to be a well-rounded leader. Instead, discover your zone and stay there. Then delegate everything else.

Money comes, money goes. But your story stays with you the rest of your life.

The goal of leadership is not to eradicate uncertainty but rather to navigate it.
