A ministry community whose time is controlled by doing the business of the church tends to be spiritually unhealthy.
If your leaders are going to be tools of God's grace, they need to be committed to nurturing that grace in one another's lives.
Recognize God-ordained limits of gift, time, energy, and maturity is essential to leading in a ministry community well.
Teaching your leaders to recognize and balance the various callings in their life is a vital contribution to their success.
A spiritually healthy leadership community acknowledges that character is more important than structure or strategies.
It is essential to understand that leadership in any gospel ministry is spiritual warfare.
A call to leadership in the church is a call to a life of willing to sacrifice and service.
A spiritually healthy leadership community is characterized by the humility of approachability and the courage of loving honesty.
Where your leaders look for identity always determines how they lead.
If a leadership community is formed by the gospel, it will always be committed to a lifestyle of fresh starts and new beginnings.
For church leaders, ministry longevity is always the result of gospel community.
You will only handle the inevitable weakness, failure, and sin of your leaders when you view them through the lens of the presence, power, promises, and grace of Jesus.
