I went to lunch with a pastor friend a couple of days ago. Here are some things I gleaned or was reminded of during our conversation.
1. The team you surround yourself with is very important.
2. The people closest to you will determine your success.
3. You must have a team you can trust.
4. You must always keep learning. We never arrive.
5. Don't get off focus.
6. Develop the team you surround yourself with.
7. Community is a major key to a healthy church.
8. You must hear from God for the church you lead. There is no formula to reach your community. Being led by the Holy Spirit is key to your success.
9. You must have mentors in your life who stretch you.
