I’m trying something new.  My Moleskine notebook’s filled with random thoughts, devotionals, leadership lessons and principles, and inspirational thoughts from the Holy Spirit.  Every Friday, I’ve decided to share my “Top 5” lessons learned, ideas, and leadership principles with my blog family.

Here what’s swirling around in my mind:

  1. No matter how many sermons or Bible studies I lead, people won’t grow unless they have a desire to grow.  The saying is true: “You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make them drink.”
  2. John Maxwell says: “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care!”  That’s true: Most African-Americans want to be able to touch their pastor & know that he loves them.
  3. Build bridges before you ask for anything.  People won’t readily commit until they can trust you.  The only way to build trust is through time and consistency.
  4. Great visions from God force you to ask the types of questions that lead to greater dependence on God.
  5. My days are filled with meaningful work for which I have a sustainable passion.
