Nat’l Leaders Conference,
originally uploaded by muffyn.

This guy has challenged my thinking…
He has spent his lifetime learning the life of Jesus… and sought to follow what Jesus did, and His model of making disciples.

Today, he talked about how the goal of disciple-making is not about producing leaders… It is about making full-trained workers, who are true followers of Jesus. We often make the mistake of giving people leadership ‘labels’…

This excerpt fr the notes:
‘In today’s world, we often use the term “leadership” very loosely. Nearly every conference, seminar, or retreat that is conducted is labeled a leadership retreat. Jesus cautioned us about the term “leaders” (Matt 23:10). In this context of Matthew, the tendency of people is to become puffed up and love the place of honor (vs.6)’
