When I think back on my life, there have been so many who have helped me succeed.  My parents, brothers, coaches, drill instructors, pastors, and the list could go on and on.  All of these people selflessly poured into me.  I know when I succeed, they succeed.  What motivates me about life is watching others reach their full potential.  Likewise, the church I lead is only as successful and the people we help.  If in the end if we look back and have no one to show for our efforts, it will all be in vain.  I am so proud of the people 217church is reaching, the momentum it is sustaining and the churches we wlll help start.

We will be measured not by what we take but what we give. It isn’t as much about us as it is what we leave for those who come after us.

Keep helping others succeed
