Dwight's story of coming to NewPointe Community Church

The danger of ministry is that you fall in love with the masses, not the people.

The key decisions that have helped you and NewPointe

Leadership is disappointing people at a rate they can handle it.

People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision

The three things people are looking for in leaders

Create a place where people can fail doing the right thing.

Nobody can ruin your life expect for you.

Your view of God is the most important thing about you.

You can't lead an organization until you are able to leave it.

What helps you be consistent

Humility is the key to every relationship.

Spiritual leadership is taking responsibility for the health and development of your relationships.

The importance of solitude.

Our biggest challenges are the ones we fight within.

There's nothing you can do to cause God to love you more. There's nothing you can do to cause God to love you less.

I need to do what I believe is the right think and not think about what everyone else thinks about.
