Quotes for Notes:
“Joy is able to rise above the circumstances and still have the peace of God reign in your heart and life.”
“The thing the Lord has taught me, there is no better time to start thanking Him for the victory or coming out on the other side, than right in the middle of the trial.”

In this episode, Sergio and I discuss legacy, passing on our faith to the next generation, leadership challenges that the worldwide church is facing, different levels of leadership, and more.
Quotes for Notes:
“Your kids will not do what you tell them to do, they will do what they see you do. They will not do what you tell them, they will replicate who you are.”
“Regardless of what you do, the goal is not to build an island within the ministry. You can be successful and still create division.”
“You can have talented, gifted, and called people but if you don’t empower them, and release them to do the job of the ministry, nothing is going to get done.”
