Tell us a little about yourself. I'm a pastor, a dad, and a writer. I'm a fairly
ordinary leader, but I have the gift of being
able to narrate what I'm learning.
What was your motivation behind this project? Again, I need leaders to become comfortable with
their God-given skin. God is an artist, he
doesn't machine out "cogs" to do church-work.
There's a plethora of leadership-voices. And
it's time we stop idolizing a mere handful of
them.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? My desire is to liberate leaders from the myth
that they need to be the perfect "one-man-show"
leader. I want my readers to understand that God
has given each leader a unique style that can
add to a ministry team, and that interdependance
and deep community can blossom.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? Right now I'm loving Donald Miller. I can't read
enough of him. I love the humor and
conversational tone... and his ability to
simultaneously be profound.
