"Do you realize how great a pastoral team you have?" It was a question someone asked me at a gathering of ministers from Philadelphia recently. They sort of shook their head as if to say "Wow! What an awesome group of pastors working at CLC!"
I have to agree. You won't find a more talented group of men and women. My job as the coach is to model the way, inspire a vision, enable them to act, encourage them along the way; and then get out of the way as the go at it!
Given the choice between one great player and a team of good players that work together, I'll take good over great every time.
This is something we need to remember as we strive to improve areas of ministry Christian Life Center. One great musician...one great youth leader...one great pastor cannot do it alone. It takes team players!
Franklin Roosevelt said,"People acting together as a group can accomplish things that no individual acting alone could ever hope to bring about. "
I'm humbled to be surrounded by an incredible group of people. I'm honored to be a peer among equals as we work to advance the Kingdom of God...together!

Maybe you can ask Shawn or Steve if they want to start a blog.
I noticed there is an article on John Piper's "Desiring God" website suggesting that more pastors should blog.

It's a good way to get to know pastors better, it says.
