Bishop Jones Said... (1 of 4)

In January I had the opportunity to hear Bishop Scott Jones speak several times. It was unusual for me to have this much contact with the bishop and I want to share with you some of the things that I heard him say that have made an impact on me. Bishop Jones said...

I don't need preachers going off crazy, doing stupid things.

This quote was in response to a question about the too common occurence of leading out of fear. Jones' suggestion was that fear should not guide leadership, but taht sometimes fear helps temper ideas that are not going to be good. I believe that this gets played out in many different contexts - from new ministries to finance to personal boundaries.

Well played, sir. Well played.
