Key Takeaways
1) Most pastors think I’m speaking a foreign language when I suggest they need to take a sabbatical.
2) The goal is not just to get others to do the work for you. . . It’s experiencing the fulfillment of seeing them walk in their gifts and purpose.
3) Nehemiah teaches us the entrepreneur’s way to lead: 1st – Pray… 2nd – Plan… 3rd – Prepare.
4) Your ability to think, dream, and find vision becomes easier as you create the capacity to listen to the Holy Spirit as you develop margin in your life.
