I continue to be inspired...

I'm trying to wade through the reading materials I collected at the Leadership Summit. Just finished Craig Groeschel's It. I still have John Burke's book Soul Revolution to read. Then I'll probably tackle Bill Hybels' classic Courageous Leadership.

I was very impressed with Bill at the Summit. It was my first time ever hearing him speak and I admit I was impressed with his humility...and passion to encourage, embolden and even inflame church leaders to become kingdom leaders. There's a difference.

Church leaders tend to focus on the local entity or organization and its processes and programs. Kingdom leaders maintain a much broader, more eternal perspective, of which the local body is a part. I like this idea, and am thinking through its implications for leading people into ministry.
