In this episode Skyler interviews Devin Robertson about lessons learned while being a young leader. Devin is the lead pastor at the Cornerstone Christian Church in Jackson, MI and has had to navigate through many unknown seasons as a leader. In Devin shares his perspective interview we talk about what makes Jesus unique, what hangs people up, and how to help skeptics on their journey toward faith.
Concerns and Excitement about the post-pandemic season
- Reengaging with safety while focusing more spiritually than physically (how do we balance between operating in fear and operating wisely)
- Church is viewed with greater importance.
Leadership lessons
- Mission drives everything
- Successful leaders have a variety of people around them
- It only hurt the organization when you cast doubt on those leading in chair one (Chair one is harder than you think).
- God will often use you disproportionally to who you
A Few Tips to staying healthy
- Play as hard as you work.
- Listen to the core voices around you (not the distant voices).
- Remember God always uses broken people to lead broken people.
- Read Leadership Pain by Samuel Chand.
- Call someone more seasoned than you.
