Summary

Dear St. Andrews Family, Sometimes I wonder who is driving this car and then people remind me that it’s me. While this may not be a great testament to my confidence and leadership, I think its good that I am reticent to be the driver. I know myself well. I want to be liked. I don’t want to disappoint anyone. I don’t always know what direction we should go next. I don’t think this necessarily a problem with my leadership specifically; its just part of being human. And for this reason, I think leading the church should be the job of a small group of godly people—not one very human me. I think if we want to be wise and we want others to see the church as beautiful, we might need to rethink how we lead. This week, I want to show this to you. I want to excite you about godly wise leaders who desperately want to drive the car where God is leading. Will you join me on Sunday and come with open minds and hearts for the future of the church. Pastor Jace

Episode Description

Dear St. Andrews Family,

Sometimes I wonder who is driving this car and then people remind me that it’s me. While this may not be a great testament to my confidence and leadership, I think its good that I am reticent to be the driver. I know myself well. I want to be liked. I don’t want to disappoint anyone. I don’t always know what direction we should go next. I don’t think this necessarily a problem with my leadership specifically; its just part of being human. And for this reason, I think leading the church should be the job of a small group of godly people—not one very human me.

I think if we want to be wise and we want others to see the church as beautiful, we might need to rethink how we lead. This week, I want to show this to you. I want to excite you about godly wise leaders who desperately want to drive the car where God is leading. Will you join me on Sunday and come with open minds and hearts for the future of the church.
