For the last two days I have been overwhelmed with inspiration and instruction on how to be a better leader. As a pastor of this church, I must lead, and I must lead well. This year’s Leadership Summit was my 8th to attend. Every year I walk away motivated to dig in deeper and excel in my pastoral leadership. I wish I could perfect my leadership with attending just one Leadership Summit, but it will be a work in progress for the rest of my life. My apologies to those of you who must bear with me (ha).
I honestly felt like some of the guest speakers had been studying my life for the last 8 months. (Ha.) They hit me right between the eyes. God knew what I needed to learn and he delivered it on a silver platter.
This year just might be the best Summit I have attended. Every session I walked away with gold nuggets of information. To have so many from this church (spanning all ages) attend was incredible. I sense that many of us are on the same page and understand what it means to move forward and see how the Local Church is the Hope of the World.
Some things can only be described as WOW. And this year’s Leadership Summit can best be described by me as WOW.
