Renewal is visiting the Church:

1. Bringing down the Preacher as center of gravity
2. Re-centering the Priesthood of Jesus-followers
3. Awakening the 5-fold (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd, Teacher)
4. Creating Disciples not Consumers
5. Rooting deeply in neighborhood

‘If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.’

A changed world begins with us … and a changed us begins when we pray.

Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.

A movement is not created, manufactured or orchestrated. It is initiated and sustained by the Spirit of God. You don’t build a movement through strategy, you enter His movement with humility. Submitting to the affection, direction and correction of the Spirit of God.

[Alan Scott @Alan_Scott]

Kingdom Leadership is never about growing your reach, your ministry, or your platform. It's about building an altar, and living surrendered to the living God.
