Disciples have a willingness to learn and to follow. This is essentially what a disciple is…a student. A hunger to learn and a willingness to search for knowledge is a wonderful gift from God. We must embrace it. We should recognize that we don’t know it all. There is much God wants to teach us. We can learn from the knowledge and experiences of others. In regards to our faith and relationship with God, we never arrive at a place of com...2021-11-1505 min

“If you are a leader and uncomfortable with sacrifice, you won’t lead long. Leadership is costly. Sacrifice is squarely in the path to long lasting influence. If you have something you are not willing to give up, you will sacrifice other things to keep it. If you hold fast to family, you may sacrifice promotions and vice versa.” J Loren Norris

“The need for control is an addiction that every leader and politician must resist. Leadership is about influence not control. Control is a form of abuse which requires manipulation and coercion. In order for total control to exist, the process of grooming must precede the request for surrender because no one will naturally give up their liberty without it.
