Leadership is not about position, it's about your heart. The best example of leadership is Christ. He came to serve and He lead by example. I once heard one of my mentors share that we need to grow daily or we will die gradually. So the question that I pose to our youth and staff is, "What are you doing for personal growth?"
- Are you reading?
- Are you writing?
- Are you breathing into others?
- Are you a teachable person?
- What are you doing with your free time?
Based off of these questions, I have felt the need to post a monthly leadership lesson that has been communicated to my staff and our leadership. Not all of the lessons that have been posted or lessons to be posted in the future are ones written from me. Some have been taught to me, some are compiled notes, others are ones that were passed on to me and my staff. We will always try to give credit whenever possible. We hope these become a benefit to you as you develop yourself and the leaders around you.
Partnering with you,
Pastor Robert

Fresh Wind Fresh Fire by Jim Cymbala
Ask God to ignite his fire in your soul! Pastor Jim Cymbala believes that Jesus wants to renew his people -- to call us back from spiritual dead ends, apathy, and lukewarm religion... Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire shows what the Holy Spirit can do when believers get serious about prayer and the Gospel. As this compelling book reveals, God moves in life-changing ways when we set aside our own agendas, take him at his word, and listen for his voice.
