STANDOUTS AND TAKEAWAYS
- Move to a fast pilot: simply ask, “What’s the worst thing that could happen?” and then go for it and see what kind of traction you get.
- When God closes a door, He usually opens another one.
- When you’re trying to figure out what’s next: Stay close to God, cling to those around you (your family and friends), and stay open to what’s going on in the world.
- Christians have always been called in two directions: love God, and love your neighbor.
- “Heart Leadership” is about bringing your whole self to your leadership efforts.
- Heart Leadership is empowered by simply getting proximate to people in need.
- Sometimes “maintaining boundaries” is just abdicating responsibility for others.
