Things I'm Learning

As a leader there have been many times where I've made decisions that aren't popular.

I know this isn't rocket science...but it's something that I'm learning...
As a leader I MUST be willing to make unpopular decisions at times…and when that happens you can bet on the fact that people aren't going to like it and you're going to hear about it. Arrows will fly in your direction. Some people might even leave.

Now for even more of what I'm learning...
When attacked we have to stay focused and keep doing what God has called us to do. As a leader you cannot afford to waste time defending yourself and making sure the opinion polls of people are always in your favor.

It's my job as a leader to be passionately obsessed with listening to God and then doing what He says…EVERY SINGLE DAY. We can never allow the voice of the enemy to take the calling that the God of the universe has placed in our lives!

So based on what I'm learning...here's what I'm going to do...
Keep desperately running after Jesus and the vision He has given me for NewLife…and not allow other voices to detour me from hearing the ONE true voice.
