Summit Reflections (Part 6)

I guess that's a tension we have to manage.

This was from Andy Stanley's closing talk from day one. Some problems/tensions should not be solved. Example? Work and personal life. Solve it one way or the other and you're likely to lose your family or lose your job. Life is filled with these kinds of tensions. Church life too. Grow believers and reach people far from God. It's a tension we have to manage.

Declaration: I think this is something our team will be saying to each other for a long time to come. We will learn to better identify the tensions that should not be solved but should be managed.

Summit Reflections (Part 5)

Your only job is to help your players get better.

Chuck Knoll's instructions to Tony Dungy as a young assistant coach that ended up guiding him all his career. A recipe for creating a Super Bowl or any great team. 

Declaration: It's not my only job, but our church will be most effective when I model equipping my team and helping them get better. I will coach my teammates to be better followers of Christ and leaders.
