So…I’m finally going live!
This is my blog.
I work in youth ministry and at an incredible church. I am probably the most unlikely youth pastor in America (A story I’ll save for another day). The best part is, for some reason, I get to do this amazing job. The strange part is, I am very different than the rest of you guys.
What could an old guy that’s good at systems and processes offer a bunch of young and talented visionaries, relationals, and creatives?
The answer is simple. I can offer systems and processes.
Chances are that, if you’re reading this and looking at leadership, you are a gifted person.
- You may be a Visionary with huge ideas. These ideas get the right people excited and you end up in charge…YOU JUST HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO START OR YOU GET BOGGED DOWN HELPING THE PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO YOU.
- You may be a Creative and your unique and brilliant insights have earned you a couple of steps up the old corporate ladder.….YOU JUST HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO START TO MAKE THE IDEA A REALITY.
- You may be a Relational and your ability to gain and maintain friends has given you responsibilities beyond your imagination…BUT, YOUR FAILURE TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON PROMISES IS CATCHING UP AND YOUR FAN BASE IS FALLING AWAY.
Here’s some good and hard truth…you are the next generation of church leaders AND you are probably no good at systems…and it’s killing you (or at least slowing you down). I have met few visionaries, relationals, or creatives who are.
But….That is what I’m here for.
As I get to lead this amazing team and work with some of the most successful people in ministry today I want to pass on what I do and what I’ve learned to you.
My dream is to help you out on your journey,
speed you up so you can do more sooner,
and make you more effective…today.
Simply put, I want to bridge the gap between giftedness and effectiveness for the next generation of leaders.
seriously the hawtness.
You did it! You are the man!
Looks great and reads even better. Nicely done my friend. Miss you guys like crazy!
Thanks man…miss you guys too.
Systems and processes are so important and I am excited to you are getting after it. I just finished the book “E Myth” and it addresses the need to set a process to a proven method for repeated success. Fired up to watch the Lord use you in this capacity!
