Healthy Leaders lead healthy churches that reproduce. The network and the local church each play a unique role in this process, and we must recognize and embrace those roles while working together for the health of both ministers and churches. Building strong relationships would be a key priority. By partnering together, we can revitalize existing ministries and plant new faith communities that reflect the DNA of reproduction. With a focus on relational strength and unity, we can build a network that grows and thrives, empowering leaders and churches to fulfill the Great Commission.

A pressing challenge is the rapidly changing culture, which can lead to isolation and mission drift. As culture shifts at an unprecedented pace, there is a risk of focusing more on preserving the success of the organization or ministry rather than staying true to the mission. This shift can create barriers to collaboration and accountability, preventing us from fully utilizing the support and connections needed to thrive. To stay relevant, we must prioritize fostering a culture of relational strength and spiritual renewal, keeping the mission at the forefront and recognizing that we are better together.

I frequently ask myself, "How does what I am doing contribute to making disciples?" Whether it's preaching, leading a training, developing an initiative, or serving on a board or committee, everything I do must produce measurable results in making disciples. Every interaction is an opportunity to impact lives for the Kingdom; otherwise, it's just activity. Throughout my ministry, I have frequently had to make adjustments to stay aligned with this mission, ensuring that every effort is directed toward expanding God's Kingdom through the Great Commission.
