strangeness

I heard a fantastic leadership teaching from Jim Ruddy (bethelag.com). He talked about how, as leaders, we need to get over the strangeness of walking into a new thing. Often we fail to realize that the "land" we feel so strange in now is the one God wants to give us eventually.

The quote of his talk . . . "God needs leaders, not pointers."

Today was a really special day as many pastors from our community gathered together to talk about reaching this community (together) in a new way and at a new level.

I welcome the strangeness I'm feeling.

Yeah. It was definitely the Holy Spirit how perfect that teaching was for this whole thing.
