Leadership thoughts from Mark Batterson

Excerpts

I feel like my primary job as lead pastor of National Community Church is to make sure we keep playing offense. We need to keep learning, keep growing, keep experimenting, and keep making mistakes.

At some point most leaders start doing ministry out of memory and stop doing ministry out of imagination. They start repeating the past and stop creating the future. And most churches stop taking the risks that got them to where they are. They start playing defense.
