Leadership is disappointing people at a rate they can stand!

There are two types of leaders! F-16 Fighting Falcon This is a highly agile, multirole fighter known for its ability to make tight turns, rapid adjustments, and recover from risky maneuvers. It's not the fastest, but it's incredibly responsive, adaptable, and forgiving of course corrections. It thrives in dogfights and changing conditions. MiG-25 Foxbat This is a Soviet-era interceptor built for straight-line speed (over Mach 3), but it's heavy, less agile, and struggles in close combat or rapid maneuvering. It has to stay on a steady, predictable path and can't adapt quickly. Once it's off-course or engaged in a dogfight, it's at a major disadvantage. Some leaders are like the F-16, they're not perfect, but they can adjust quickly, recover from mistakes and poor decisions, and stay mission-focused. Others are like the MiG-25 - they might look powerful or impressive at first glance, but they lack the agility to adapt, pivot, or recover when the mission demands change Which one are you?

Just got a phone call from a phenomenal Lead Pastor who is looking for a Campus Pastor. DM me for details - if you’re interested - or know of someone that may be interested.

A prayer life without a work ethic is wishful thinking. Faith without sweat is just noise.

Saying — “I don’t get paid to do that” is one of the reasons you’ll never be paid “to do that”.

Happy Thanksgiving! Thankful for a myriad of reasons. Primary is family. The rest is secondary.

Even when it’s BAD it’s ALL GOOD. For the believer, according to Romans 8:28, life is rigged in our favor. I don’t say that from a place of arrogance. I say it from a place of humility. Jesus finished it all on the cross.
