  Lessons from Life Church
LEADERSHIP

All churches have leaders. But how do I hinder my leaders, business women and men, the entrepreneurs from joining me in the spreading of the Gospel? How do I tie their hands from sharing God's Call to come out of Confusion? Or am I asking them to do the wrong things?
I'm pondering this . . .

One glaring lesson about Life Church is the caliber of their leadership team. Each one is a successful, experienced leader in their industry / field from the business world. When I asked Pastor Craig to comment about this, his statement was that one of his God-given gifts is the ability to "see God's call" on someone's life.

Thus, Pastor Craig found leaders to lead, and he preaches. He continues to point them in the direction that God is leading (vision casting), and his leadership team releases the volunteers, hires the needed staff, and allocates the resources to realize the vision. Profoundly simple, yet to see the results of a decade of this practice brings praise to God. This reminds me of two concepts I've heard before:
