      Sharable Quotes:

      “One thing we’ve got to realize as leaders is Generation Z—young adults, college students, teenagers—they want more out of church than just going to potluck dinners. You know what I mean? They want more out of church than even just listening to us preach.” @shane_pruitt78

      “When you want to build a student leadership team, lead with vision, not just with expectations…” @PaulWorcester

      “Don’t make people feel guilty if they don’t want to step into leadership, but make it available to the ones with potential.” – @PaulWorcester

      “Ask the Lord of the harvest to call out and raise up laborers for the harvest because it’s His harvest; it’s His laborers; it’s His message; it’s His mission field; it’s His bride. So, we need to go to Him first.” – @shane_pruitt78

      “Take really good care of the ones you have, and then they’ll spread the word as well.” – @shane_pruitt78

      “You can’t use people. You have to love people, invest in people.” – @PaulWorcester
