I began a series on the “Elements of Leadership” today at the G42 Leadership Academy. I always start the series with “Overcoming Fears-Facing Your Giants.” Before we can step into our inheritance, we need to look past the fears–the giants–and stand on the promises that God has given us. Either He is God, and has given us our passions and callings for a reason, or He’s not God, and was lying to us. What can we do, but charge forward against our giants, shouting all the way, “How Dare You [fears] Defy the Living God!”
But some good questions were raised… what about protecting a family? What about failure? What about money? All good points that we addressed.
We’re having a great time meeting the new interns, getting to know them even closer. We went for a hike to the top of the mountain–“Malaga Peak”–and got to see a beautiful clear sky. Sierra Nevada mountains to the Northeast, covered in snow and in prime ski season, and Moroccan Rif mountains to the South. Both within a half-day’s journey.
Tomorrow we dive into “Vision,” and begin to construct our plans for the future. The interns will begin the first steps to their future ministries, whatever they may be.
