      Sharable Quotes (#NewChurches):

      If we’re doing it right, our legacy is not just what we do, but also what was developed under our leadership. Take big responsibility in carrying that forward. — Todd Adkins

      Leaving well matters in ministry because the church is a community of people who know one another. They’re still going to know each other and be around one another after you leave. — Ed Stetzer

      It says a lot more about you than it does your organization when you don’t leave well. — Todd Adkins

      When you announce your transition, your church has to immediately start making decisions. If you’re the church planter, they will look to you. And when they can’t do that, it can be frustrating for them. — Ed Stetzer

      Leaving well means helping your people walk through their stages of grief. — Todd Adkins
