You can’t influence people if you haven’t invited them and welcomed them once they’ve arrived. I prefer to think about leadership as influence.

The moral integrity of a church will seldom be greater than the pastor’s personal moral integrity. Senior pastors are one of the single greatest influences of what a church does well by the intentionality – or lack thereof – towards the things it labels a win.
