“Stewardship is the management of resources that God places within our hands…if stewardship hasn’t taken place, there may not be resources for us to be generous.”
“Generosity is an attitude of the heart. I think that stewardship is an attitude of the mind.”
“When you’re a leader, you need to make sure you get help and encouragement that can help you to move forward. You need to be able to sleep at night.”
“I have a lot of young leaders that will come to me, and they say, ‘I am scared to death. I’m afraid I’m going to fail, I’m afraid I’m going to turn my people off, I’m afraid they’re going to leave the church, I’ve never done this before, I’m afraid the architect’s going to rip me off, I don’t know anything about construction. The Bible’s really clear where it says that in a multitude of counsel there is wisdom…go to other seasoned leader or pastors who have gone through this journey.”
“Fundraising is not something that is taught, and most leaders come out of school or Bible college or seminary wondering what that’s about.”
“I really want to encourage people: don’t suffer alone with this. Get some help that can come alongside of you.”
“The church is a living organism. It will always take funding. It will always need to be supported, and so I think we need to get good at it because it’s going to be something that will be with us all the way through our lives.”
