Every year, I lead a group of 10-15 guys through some leadership books and talks with the goal of growing as a leader at home, work and in their life.
The first part is focused on self-leadership, understanding how you are wired and how your upbringing shapes you as a man and a leader.
Too many people overlook this because it is hard work (and often painful) and isn’t as much fun as vision and team building but the best leaders are self aware.
The big idea is seeing the Christian life as an invitation more than a list of things to do or accomplish.
I wish I would’ve learned this sooner.
Got to have some silence this week on Mt. Lemmon which is always helpful.
I’m learning more and more about how God uses place in our lives, when it comes to purpose, calling, His voice and rest.
Place matters.
More than we think it does.
I was asked by someone what I do on a retreat day.
I listen to worship music, pray and walk.
I know some people like to sit but I need to move.
I think clearer, hear God more and am able to unload my burdens when I move.
Took me years to figure out what works for me.
If you sit still, take a nap and rest, awesome.
We had our first membership class this past Sunday at Revolution.
Loved it.
I love how many people want to belong at Revolution and be a part of the vision God has for our church.
Speaking of vision, we finalized our plans for Christmas Eve, our Christmas series, etc.
Can’t wait!
Details are coming soon so be on the lookout.
Had an awesome conversation with one of our younger leaders this morning about race, the gospel, the national anthem, parenting a black child, white privilege.
I love that more and more white Christians are wrestling with this, asking questions and listening.
Honestly, that is the key on this topic.
Asking questions and then shutting your mouth.
Our kids picked The Emoji Movie the other night for family movie night.
Parents and pastors, if you want to know the cultural narrative of our time, watch a kids movie.
