1. Leaders lead people not micro manage them.
2. Leaders train and empower people and then release people.
3. Leaders always lead with their heart first.
4. Leaders cast a vision for a better tomorrow in a way that people can catch.
5. Leaders make the hard decisions rather than selling out the vision.
6. Leaders find ways to win even in tough times.
7. Leaders move with faith without denying the facts.
My goal is to be a God-honoring leader.
One of the most exciting things that I am doing right now is taking my 2 daughters through Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life. My oldest is 12 years old and I believe this is going to be life changing for her. I refuse to let the culture raise my kids!!! I believe that this is a crucial age for my 7th grader. She is a beautiful young lady with a heart for God. I want to help prepare her heart for the great things God has in store for her. She will go far and above all that I could hope for in her life. My goal is that my girls will discover and walk in God incredible purpose for their lives.

It’s been way too long since I have take the opportunity to blog. It seems as if life went into fast forward. As a church planter/pastor sometimes I find it challenging to keep all the plates spinning. But exciting things have been happening. We are now 30 weeks old as a church. A couple of weeks ago we had our highest attendance since Grand Opening. God is good. We have also relocated to Cox Elementary in Woodbridge. What a huge step of faith for us. What a huge step forward. The Elevate team has been unbelievable in showing up to make it all happen. I am continually amazed at the incredible people joining with us in this journey. I want to personally thank all who have helped. It took many hours of planning and effort. It’s exciting to see the difference.
