In Dave Ramsey’s book Entreleadership I read the following: “It is leadership’s job to continually shine a spotlight on the goal and remove any distractions.” That being SO true, let me shine a little light on what we’re trying to accomplish at New Day (i.e. the goal).
We are in the disciple-development business and our product is changed lives (Christlike people). In accordance with Matthew 28:19-20 we:
1. MAKE disciples (we help people become followers of Jesus – “go and make disciples” v.19)
2. MARK disciples (we mark people as followers of Jesus through water baptism – “baptizing them” v.19)
3. MATURE disciples (help people grow spiritually – “teaching them” v.20)
God help us to remove any distractions that come along as we seek to fulfill this commission of Christ!
Very clear and precise. Right on point. Thank you.

Thanks Bishop! That means a lot coming from you! (And I just said a prayer for your upcoming Easter production Passion of the King – I pray it leads many to Jesus!)
