Great sayings that shaped me (PART II)
“Everything rises or falls on leadership.” {John Maxwell; experiences in the Navy}
The Naval Academy was all about producing leaders. I saw great and bad leadership in action and quickly realized that leadership is the difference maker in any organization.
- Throughout Scripture, God raised up leaders to accomplish His purposes.
- I thank God for the leadership we have at Rock Bridge.
- The level of leadership that got us where we are will not take us where we are going. (i.e. — what it takes to lead a church of 100 is different than the leadership it takes to lead a church of 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 … etc.) Click here for a great post on this.
- I pray God raises up more leaders as our church grows and our influence expands.
- I realize the enormous responsibility God has given me as the lead pastor of Rock Bridge.
- I have committed myself to continue to grow and learn as a leader.
- As our church has grown so has my desire for and need to pray. Spiritual leadership flows from time with God … period.
- I know I need help. I know I cannot do everything. I know I am only good at a few things. That is why leadership is not an endeavor that occurs in a vacuum. We have a great staff, godly Elders, and awesome people at RBCC who help lead this church.Â
