What We Learned
Our responsibility is to be obedient and surrender the outcome to God.
The longer you're in a culture, the harder it is to see things the way you did when you first showed up.
Always get a fresh perspective from someone new.
Culture is the hardest thing to change.
I've focused more on where we were headed than where we were at or what was wrong.
What did you do to remain encouraged?
Counseling
Talking with people
Having an eternal perspective
Significant moments of growth happen when you are stretched the most.
What lessons have you learned?
Secrets make people, organization, leaders sick.
You can either fear how people will respond when you tell them or you can fear how people will respond when they find out from someone else.
Secrets never stay in the darkness forever.
