BEST QUOTES

"Sometimes we may not realize the toll that resentment takes on our Spirit." "The Bible's approach to happiness flips all of this on it's head. Jesus said it is better to give than to receive.""If I'm not secure in who I am, then how am I going to be able to share that with others?""Understanding our identity empowers us to do things we couldn't do otherwise." "We are in the process of releasing our campuses to be independent churches.""It's a lot easier to launch something than it is to unlaunch something.""Leadership development and fundraising are two areas that have been challenging for me.""That journal becomes a resource for me to go back and look at whenever I am making decisions in the future.""Leadership in our empty nest means that I am going to honor my wife.""I think ideally each decade we should be able to do more of what we do best than we were able to do the decade before.""Identify what you do best and make it your aim to do more of that over the years."
