The One Voice
So many voices to help you get better. And many of them are good. But there is One Voice to prioritize over all others.
But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.
Luke 5:16
How do I become a better leader?
How do I become a better preacher?
How do I become more effective in ministry?
Prioritize your Hear & Follow relationship with Jesus.
No. You won’t be able to see the tangible day-in, day-out difference when you prioritize your relationship with Jesus.
Over time, you will experience a power, direction and growth you would never find if you spent that time working on your skills.
No. Skill building is not unimportant.
When you prioritize your Hear & Follow relationship with Jesus, part of the Follow is that he will lead you to the opportunities of growth you would not have otherwise.
Psalm & Isaiah also are clear. Trust in the created order and you get the cart before the horse.
Have voices which challenge you to grow.
But keep the One Voice as the first One you always go to.
