“But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!” Galatians 5:22-23 NLT bible.com/bible/116/gal.5.23…

Question for parents… do you require your kids to keep their rooms tidy? Yes or no… Also, what’s their age? What’s your reason?

Post Covid leadership belongs to scrappy leaders. A scrappy leader never says “when i have x then I will lead” they have faith that God can do something from nothing! They never wait for optimal conditions to sow or go. They shift the atmosphere by bringing hope in darkness!

As children we begin with an all good/ all bad dichotomy. Later we discover that our hearts are a complex web of goodness and brokenness. The Psalmist prays “test my heart” for a reason. Spiritual formation is Jesus lovingly and patiently removing the bad and putting in the good.

Everything we think, type or say falls into 1 of 4 categories: False negative, false positive, true negative and true positive. Parsing out your own thoughts and words is one of the great acts of wisdom and maturity.

#TenaciousTeachability is the secret sauce to success in every area of your life. It’s the combination of a humility to own your gaps with a relentless passion to get better at a great personal price!

God is very attentive to the person you are becoming. Most dilemmas in life become so much easier to solve if you pick up the WHO filter before WHAT and HOW.

Most of the biggest problems you are facing are more spiritual than you are thinking. It’s not only spiritual but it’s certainly all spiritual. We need humble prayerful knees and open discerning eyes. God please give me both!

Every unmet expectation, every disappointment, every disagreement, every challenge is an opportunity to be formed. Endurance is the key. Point your feet in the right direction, keep your eyes on Jesus, and love people everyday. You will become more like Him layer by layer!

Out of curiosity, how many of you have a filter you use before posting? Here are some questions: Is it true? Is it helpful? Is it beneficial? Is it kind? Is it uplifting? Would I say this to to someone’s face? I love watching people who leverage their platforms to build others up

Goodness and mercy are chasing you. No matter how far you’ve run, how many turns you’ve taken and how deep of a hole you are in… they can still get to you! Just turn around… they’re right there

Today was my first day in the office @Saddleback. I’m so excited about locking arms with this team and building on what @RickWarren & @KayWarren1 and the team have given 43 years to build. This is a month of celebration and preparation! God has incredible things in store!

Some of my best friends and mentors praying over me. Such a special moment.

Life lesson: Don’t let twitter make you bitter. Blessing, love and kindness is the best strategy for every relationship and every platform!

The way you see the gift is the way you receive the gift. The way you see work is the way you receive work.

Thank you for having me on your podcast! I’m honored to be apart of this latest episode of “Leaders in living rooms - with Sean Morgan”
