We are having a leadership meeting for Catalyst tonight. I’m really excited to hear the vision for this very special group. I’m comforted that Pastor Aaron wants us to come to his home for this meeting because Mark and I have learned one very important lesson on leadership in the past 9 months: an impactful leader must have a relationship with his team.
Meaning, Mark and I could not effectively speak into the lives of our team until we built a relationship with each person on the team. We had to let them know that we cared about their lives and wanted to see them grow spiritually. We started calling the team, getting to know what was happening in their personal lives, and listening to their vision for our group. We noticed that when it was time to come practice, they were willing to let us correct them and lead them with ease – because they trusted us!
Tonight, I’m looking to build relationships. That’s all….it’s all about the people…it’s all about relationships.

I am very excited for this meeting. In fact, for the first time in my life I feel inspired to toast the occasion, and may do just that.
very wise, love your heart.
It’s nice to see leadership that is about relationships, not size or numbers.
