Four More Pillars of Leadership and Ministry From Phil Strout

Sorry I’m a tad late in re-posting Phil Strout’s video series… yet, better late than never. 🙂

#6. Fruitful Longevity

We are still wowed by shooting stars…

#7. If It’s Worth Anything, It’s Worth Everything

If following Jesus is worth anything at all, then it’s worth everything. Everything.

Or to put it another way, if we are not willing to go all in for Jesus – giving Him everything, from our money, dreams, passions, habits, thoughts, etc. – then why follow Him at all? There are lots of stuff we could do in this life, some of which seem cooler and more fun than following Jesus… yet, as St. Peter said long ago, “Master, to whom would we go? You have the words of real life, eternal life. We’ve already committed ourselves, confident that you are the Holy One of God.” (John 6:67-68)

#8. For the Greater Glory of God and the Well-Being of People

Are we serving as a leader for our own glory or for the glory of God and for the well-being people? Examine yourself and ask why we are doing what we are doing….

#9: The Work of the Ministry is Overflow, Not Overwork
