BEST QUOTES “We didn’t give the resources away as a strategy, we did it as an act of obedience.” “I spent an entire day with him soaking in anything I could possibly learn about his life experience.” “It’s better for kids to see their parents as superheroes in their own eyes.” “Integrating your family into ministry is an important thing.” “I put things intentionally on my calendar that I want to do first.” “Without an intentional effort to focus on agility and speed, things get slower and tougher to move.” “When you start to look at the waiting time in processes it changes your mindset.” “I had to tell myself, ‘every time that I think I should stay in bed, I am going to always choose the other option.’ I had to do that to develop the routine.” “The way it became a habit was by sheer determination that it was a zero-tolerance policy.” “There was probably a lot more I could have learned if I had been more focused in the moment.” RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Lifeway Leadership Podcast Network YouVersion 5LQ Episode 79: Bobby Gruenewald Life.Church Grab One Hope Ask Me Anything Podcast This Episode’s Sponsor: With Ministry Grid’s library of over 3,000 training videos, it’s now simpler than ever to train every volunteer and leader in your church.
