Leadership Principles I Learned in Las Vegas

Hello everyone, I just got back from a leadership conference in Las Vegas. Yes, you heard me right. LAS VEGAS! I was at the Word of Life Church and had the privilege of hearing Pastor Mack Hammond from Minnesota. He taught a powerful message of living a simple life. That the only way to run a complex ministry or get through a complicated problem is to simplify it. We mistakenly think that anything that is complex is somehow better or more authentic. But the truth of the matter is that human pride loves complexity yet the Kingdom of God operates more smoothly in simplicity. Wh yo we as leaders get stressed out...our lives are to complex. We fail to enjoy any sort of simplicity in our lives. For years I have had a great habit of listening to soft music, lighting candles and reading. It literally slows down time when you do this. It allows us to take the time to ponder life, consider God and enjoy the things that we Would normally rush right by.

Leadership ideas for today:
1. How can you slow down time?
2. How can I learn to slow down my life and simplify
3. Create habits of simplicity like....taking a walk everyday at lunch. Or reading every morning.
4. Buy a devotional book like "Streams in the Desert" and use it every day.

Thanks for checking in today and keep going on the pathway to leadership

Blessings
Pastor Terry Bonner
