“When we think about failure in the Christian world, it’s often moral failure. We apply the same types of thinking to other types of failure that we apply to moral failure. And we have got to get out of that game and we’ve got to encourage leaders to try things.”
“A great first step for any ministry to take is to do a deep self-assessment about why they are doing things the way they are doing things now.”
