BEST QUOTES “A few years ago God gave us a vision to reach the Western United States.” “I think one of the great tragedies of the Christian movement today is that a lot of guys are writing books who just started in the ministry and they are writing a lot of theory but not a lot of proven practice.” “I’m learning from three categories of people right now: people who finish well, people from a different context, and people who are doing it.” “America’s west coast is still largely a pre-Christian context.” “It wasn’t until God brought me to Las Vegas that I realized that the real passion and the heart of God was for the Gospel and the Kingdom to expand in the city.” “I believe if there is hope for another gospel movement in the United States, it’s in the west.” “Seasons of growth lead to seeing things with fresh eyes.” “I have to prioritize the important over the urgent.” “Too often in the home we do things based on distrust instead of trust.” “Leadership can be lonely, but leadership should never be done alone.” RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Lifeway Leadership Podcast Network Unburdened by Vance Pitman Vance Pitman Leadership Podcast
