Did an interview with TUCKER HIBBS who has a podcast called the Little Big Church Podcast. Great site, great guy, doing great things, except that we had to re-record the WHOLE THING!

Anyway…that’s what happens in the STICKS with technology. Tucker asked me about excuses people and Pastors in small towns make. That was easy. I have heard and made many:

1. No Money (Welcome to the real world…does anyone have that stuff? we started a long process beginning with FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY for our peeps. And then learn to cast a Biblical view of money and cast a COMPELLING Vision.)

2. No Staff (Well…CREATE some through mentoring! Be creative. Take risks.)

3. No Time for “all that stuff” (Please start prioritizing better and ONLY DO THAT WHICH ONLY YOU CAN DO!!!!!) That was a 5 exclamation sentence.

4. Not Sure Where to Start or How to Do Whatever (GO LEARN! Read, explore, network. I was a loser leader before I started pouring my life to becoming a life-long learner…and no, I am not that great yet, but am making less STUPID decisions as of late…I think…)

5. Spiritual Warfare (Yes, I believe in this and pray against it ALL the time. But I will not make this an excuse for my short-comings because my GOD is GREATER than Satan and HE ALWAYS WINS!)

Be BLESSED and have HIS PEACE today!
