As a leader, when I'm looking to add someone to my team, I want a Jesus-loving, grace-oriented, prayer-permeated risk-taker who always chooses to believe the best about people.
Erwin McManus once said that when we're walking in the center of God's will, we do not become risk-free, but instead we become free to risk.
Ministry is messy. Scandalous grace is essential.
And prevailing faith resists assuming the worst in people.
Believing the Best is a form of Yes, And-ing every situation in life.
Believing the Best pours life and energy into meetings and worship experience planning.
Believing the Best is enthusiastically contagious.
Believing the Best is the heart-attitude I want need on my team.
