"I believe that it's important to do an assessment individually and corporately on a regular basis. I call it intentional living. Intentional living. I believe that we need to. As leaders. Assess. Assess ourselves. Assess our personal life and family. And assess our ministry. On a fairly regular basis, because it's easy to get off course." [00:00:59] (43 seconds)
"Many of us end up living, I believe, on autopilot as opposed to intentionally calibrating our destination. Let me say that again. Most people in your congregation and most leaders that I run into put very little intentionality into how they live and living on purpose." [00:06:04] (22 seconds)
"If you don't have clear your values and your mission and your purpose, then other people will impose it upon you. And sometimes you'll start taking on values that really aren't valuable to you because other people have imposed it on you." [00:07:41] (17 seconds)
"Start with the end in mind. People are at your funeral. Your body's been buried. Your wife's talking about you. People are saying things. And everybody says nice things at funerals, so don't. I've been at funerals of really rough characters and you would think they're saints. I mean, they're like, wow." [00:14:26] (32 seconds)
"And so I think you need to start with the end in mind, because you could find yourself really investing a lot of time and energy in the things that matter. And I think that's what you're going to find. And I think ultimately, you wake up one day and say, well, why did I do that?" [00:17:52] (14 seconds)
"Goals can be compelling, but many people aren't necessarily motivated by goals unless you describe it. At Moody, I started by establishing a 2030, doubling our impact, and so people wanted to know what the numbers were to that, and I was like okay, but I realized that not everybody's captured, most people aren't captured by numbers but they need to, you need to color within the lines and draw the pictures." [00:22:55] (38 seconds)
"Build an evaluation and spirit-fueled reflection times by that I mean build an evaluation and spirit-fueled reflection times by that I mean that time plus repetition does not necessarily equal improvement unless it's evaluated you can do the same mistake over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again just because you're a public speaker doesn't mean you get better at it it just means you get more comfortable with it but but you could be comfortable with something that you're bad." [00:31:13] (41 seconds)
"I don't think that we will, if we're wasting our most precious thing that's life and time and energy, then I think we will wake up one day and say, I wish I hadn't. so I want to challenge you. Some of the methods I've described, you know, they're not, you know, set in stone. They may not work for you. You develop whatever method. Some of the principles I've talked to you, though, are transcendent and I think work for everything." [00:36:30] (32 seconds)
