A lot of us often think... "If only I had a million dollars" "If only I was a gifted singer" "If only I was a great athlete" "If only I was better looking" "If only I was a flashy leader" What does that tell us about our view of God? By making our "success" as Christian leaders dependent on our circumstances, we say that God is no bigger than those circumstances. Rather, let's declare, "I can do ALL things though Christ who strengthens me!" That is what this book is about. Each author brings unique challenges, perspectives and emphasis that come together to help us pursue a solid foundation of Christian leadership for the future. It is intentionally ecclectic in its content, style and focus. Even the study guides have been designed to challenge you, so don't skip past those. So as you read this book, let yourself think and dream big. Don't assume there are things you cannot do, especially if God seems to be calling you to do it. You will make mistakes and you will experience failure. That's okay! Don't allow the success of your calling be measured in human terms. Let the level of your success be measured by the degree of your obedience to God. It is my hope that this book will give some ideas, inspiration and practical tools to do just that.
