As we face 2009 as a church, it's a choice to not do anything. Lean in, back off, but don't do nothing. Faith is the unstated component in the work of a leader, and I think faith is underrated. Changing things, pushing the envelope and creating a future that doesn't yet exist (all while being criticized) requires bravery. The secret of being wrong isn't to avoid being wrong! The secret is being willing to be wrong. The secret is realizing that wrong isn't the death sentence. The only thing that makes a church great is their willingness to step out and chance not being great along the way. The desire to fail on the way to reaching a bigger goal is the untold secret of success. Risk is necessary. Are you ready to get out of the boat? I am.
