@lukedsimmons “Appreciate your concern & thank you for pointing this out. Sorry we made you feel that way. “
Just own it and be short in response. This would be my response.
Reminded once again today of why I believe a true plurality of pastors/elders leading and shepherding a church together is so important…7 quick reasons…
1. It reflects the New Testament pattern. Churches were led by qualified elders, not one lone leader carrying everything alone.
2. It protects the church. Shared leadership brings wisdom and accountability.
3. It protects the pastors. No man is meant to carry the spiritual weight of a church by himself.
4. It brings different gifts to the table. Again, one elder can’t do it all…a team is better.
5. It helps prevent pride and control. Plurality reminds us that Jesus is the Chief Shepherd, not any one pastor.
6. It strengthens decision-making. Prayerful, godly leaders seeking the Lord together will usually make wiser decisions than one pastor alone.
7. It helps to assure better, more intentional pastoral care for the congregation…nursery to the nursing home.
@AmolParikh10 Partly. The main point is keep your overhead low. Aldi keeps 1200-1400 items in store where Walmart has 100k+. Less options seems restrictive but it works @girdley
NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: Why Aldi is destroying traditional grocery stores
Aldi went from a single grocery store opened in America in 1976 by two German brothers to becoming, by 2024, the third largest grocery chain in the country, terrifying major retailers like Walmart and Amazon along the way. And they did it by following a business strategy that seemed to break every rule of American retail.
This is the rise of Aldi.
This might be the coolest real estate business in the world.
Some dudes took over a ranch in Texas and built a telescope farm. They're managing hundreds and hundreds of scopes for other people and offering super dark skies and fiber internet so that folks can take amazing pictures of space.
