The first ministry starts at home.

Don’t abandon your Family for work to be done. There’s a time and a place. Try to balance them.

Leadership, failure and risk taking

Personal Leadership 101:

  • We will never get better at anything we don’t start.
  • The quickest way to fail at anything is to do nothing.
  • When we take action odds favor failure. However, by taking action and failing more often, we increase our odds of succeeding.
  • The best way to be inspired is to simply do the things we say we’re going to do.
  • Dreams do not awaken without action.

We know these things.

Or do we?

  2. Keeps our contribution safe, predictable, and probably small by comparison.

It really is a simple choice between the two.
