 <\/p>\n

I have had the privilege of going to Willow Creek\u2019s Global Leadership Summit yesterday and today. There are some pretty spectacular speakers we are hearing over these two days. Yesterday I was inspired. I expect nothing less in today\u2019s sessions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSCN0582\"<\/a>I\u2019d like to share a few quotes from yesterday\u2019s speakers. Maybe you\u2019ll find a bit of wisdom or encouragement from these statements.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cArt isn\u2019t about creativity. It\u2019s about seeing.\u201d \u2013Ed Catmull (Co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios, President of Walt Disney Animation Studios<\/em>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe bravest among us will always be the most brokenhearted.\u201d \u2013Dr. Bren\u00e9 Brown (Research Professor, University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work; Best-selling Author<\/em>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDumb Idea + God\u2019s Hand = Life-Changing Transformation\u201d \u2013Albert Tate (Founder and Senior Pastor, Fellowship Monrovia in Southern California<\/em>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cPack what we have, give it to Jesus and then get out of the way.\u201d \u2013Albert Tate (Founder and Senior Pastor, Fellowship Monrovia in Southern California<\/em>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOur biggest leadership mountain is us.\u201d \u2013Albert Tate (Founder and Senior Pastor, Fellowship Monrovia in Southern California<\/em>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now you may not think these are the best quotes, but when coupled with the rest of the speaker\u2019s notes, these are powerful statements. These quotes cause us to think a little deeper. To move from here to there in our thought process. To step back and see how God is really at work in our world and our lives.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are a few more quotes about leadership that you might recognize.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWhoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave.\u201d<\/em> \u2013Jesus (Matthew 20:26-27 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cLet us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Paul (Galatians 6:9 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDo nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.\u201d<\/em> \u2013Paul (Philippians 2:3 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDo your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.\u201d<\/em> \u2013Paul (2 Timothy 2:15 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course, these are just a few verses of Scripture about being a leader and the work of a leader. How blessed to be called to leadership. I pray that you find encouragement from these quotes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n
