I just found a way to take myself out of caring about being judged or letting those judgments of those institutions render any kind of final verdict on me, because it interested me enough that it fueled me and kept me going. Brains GOBBLE-man

The hardened skeptic of yesterday is probably Googling their way deeper into disbelief (which provides interesting opportunities for churches doing digital ministry well). But if they show up on your channel, your stream, or in your room, they’re ready.

If they show up in the room, they’re probably very motivated to learn and change something in their life.

Roll with that.

While it’s great to remember that you might have a hardened skeptic in the room on any given Sunday, the truth is most of the people in your church these days are there because they want to be. And that includes new people. #churchgrowth

Many leaders came out of the pandemic determined to return to what used to work to grow their ministry. And, as many leaders soon discovered, the shelf-life for innovation has never been shorter. #churchgrowth

Reaching more people has never been more important, and it’s never been more challenging. #churchgrowth

The majority of imposter imposter syndrome thrives on a lack of transparency. It thrives on being intimidated by the facade that some other people put up there. Les McKeown

Leadership is not heroism. Heroism is a subset sometimes of leadership. Most leadership, most successful leadership is incredibly mundane, incredible brilliance. Les McKeown

You want to be consistently brilliant, you've got to master the mundane.Les McKeown

Feeling like you're failing does not necessarily mean you're failing. Les McKeown

The goal is not to live every day the same. The goal is to know what's my north star in terms of my use of time and everything said everything after that's a negotiation Les McKeown

I think the most underused skill of leadership, which is the strategic ability to say no Les McKeown

Most natural leaders and many self-made leaders have that degree of resilience. That's why they're successful. You hit them, they come back up, you hit them, they come back up. Les McKeown
