Building a visionary organization requires 1% vision and 99% alignment... Creating alignment may be your most important work.

“God’s vision has always been that He will give us all the power of Heaven, but no control. As long as we need a little credit, we will be pastors who have all the control and no power”🔥 @mrajswoboda #CPD #multiply

What kind of power r we hungry 4? #Godpower or #personalpower

From Jesus’ perspective, leadership is first and foremost about being a servant (diakonos), and ultimate power is about ultimate submission, as a slave (doulos). Mark 10:42-44 From Nelson & Dickens’ Leading in Disorienting Times.

“Come see a man who told me everything I ever did!” —former wreck,Jn 4:29

1 of 50,000 reasons I love Jesus. Who else could name every single thing you’ve ever done & you’d want everyone to meet Him? The only one with the right to rob us of all dignity robes us with it instead.

“As far as I can tell, Jesus intended us to be something of a permanent revolution -no less than an expansive outpost of the kingdom of God.” @alanhirsch in the forward to J.R. Woodward (@dreamawakener)’s Creating a Missional Culture.

God sees you. God hears you.

In the Exodus account, two things motivate divine action:

1) “The sight and sound of human misery under oppression

2) The thought of God’s own promise and purpose.”

-Christopher J.H. Wright #Justice

Remind God of His promises. He’s listening.

@ArbEvMo Thank you Rob! And blessing, abundant grace and peace be on you and your family!

Therefore, we fight from victory, not towards it because victory is your starting place. - 1 Cor. 15:57

God displays the character of completely legitimate, loving #authority graciously wielded. Through steadfast love, God demonstrates noncoercive exercise of power that is trustworthy and just. -Bonnie Howe

Whether God says, Go, Stay, Do or Rest, lets be quick to obey. Our obedience launches God’s purposes!

If Abraham hadn’t left for Canaan, the story would have ended short w/ an endless recycling of Babel’s fate. “The Bible would be a very thin book.” So would our lives. C.Wright

Leadership styles have consequences. Kindness, wisdom, entreatability, and humility inspire loyalty and unity.

Harshness, unwillingness to listen, and unrelenting demands sow seeds of division and rebellion.

Always, #heavenrules.

@PinonDanielle You doing OK? I’m praying for you. 😊❤️

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Take a deep breath, fuel back up and get back in there and love again.
In Christ’s name.
In Christ’s grace.
In Christ’s power.
This ain’t no fairy tale.
This is war and the devil wants our hearts.

“As a people sent to pray, ‘your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven,’ the church is to be an imperfect but perfecting social incarnation of God’s inbreaking reign of love and reconciliation, joy and freedom, peace and justice.” - Dr. Darrell L. Guder

In leadership, effective power sharing considers the nature of authority.

“Authority authorizes; it grants freedom to act within boundaries.” Christopher J. H. Wright

Power *with* instead of power *over* shares authority well.

Worldly leadership passes down the sacrifice and the consequences, mostly because it can.

Christlike leadership does the opposite—mitigates & protects, by bearing the brokenness first.

[Coach BJ Thompson @bj116]

Knowing your worth, will protect you from having to prove it.
