Episode 22: Tres Ward on Winning the Right People to Your Team, Using What God Has Already Given You, and the Connection Between Leadership and Disappointment

In this episode, Tres and I discuss trends he is seeing with college students and how important it is to provide context for them, not just information. We discussed recruiting, raising up, and releasing leaders for teams, the impact of music in the church, how disappointment and leadership are more connected than you think, and much more! 

Quotes for Notes:

“Students today do not need you or me in order to find the answer to some of the questions they might have. They can Google it faster than you and I can think of a response.”

“…(there is) a difference (in) needing information and needing context to know what to do with it.”

“It is far better to pray, “Lord, send the right people” than to pray, “Lord, send me that person or send me more people.”

“…Not trying to win them (people) with one thing and then expect something different in the process.”

“The more you want God to use you, the more you have to use what He has already given you.”

“Leadership: Disappointing people at a rate they can manage.”- Tod Bolsinger
