Lunch with my Elders

I had lunch today with one of the "older" people on our staff. We had a good time and an encouraging conversation on the ride home. Part of what he was telling me was encouragement to make sure my voice is heard on our staff. There have been seasons when, for various reasons, I've been pretty quiet in staff meetings. I've begun sensing a need for me to push back a little more and challenge us to re-think why we do things the way we do and to examine blind spots in our church. Good stuff.
