Snippets From the Conversation
“So, there’s been less forward movement during this time, and more processing what have you been through the last six weeks.”
“By the way, we are trying to build this plane as we fly it.”
“Leadership coaching, ministry coaching… has never been more fruitful than it is right now.”
“So what I didn’t know is God was writing a story that I would be able to identify with almost any kind of Kingdom leader.”
“Maybe your heart right now isn’t getting cut out with a knife, but maybe a dull spoon of disappointment…”
“Unfortunately, I’m concerned that during this time leaders are having to adapt, especially pastors, to things that we are not trained for, that we are not designed for, (in our minds) that we are not prepped for…”
“If you can name it, you can tame it.”
“This is the age of discernment. Those who have it, will thrive; Those who don’t, will destroy themselves.”
“By the way, it’s not a new normal. It’s a new different.”
Alan mentioned these three ways we can lead our people well right now. “People are going to look at our posture… I think this is a moment for prayer… The priority to be faithful to the things God has called you to.”
