The Tension is Good

This week at Catalyst has been a lot of fun! It's been great to meet new people leading some amazing ministries. It's been great to hear the stories of how God has used OPEN to change lives and impact ministries all over the globe. This is my first year at Catalyst, and it's a lot like I expected it to be... It's a great mix of leadership, passion, high flying craziness, off the wall thoughts, and life changing biblical points!

There has been SO many good points spoken from the platform that it's going to take a while to go back through to articulate exactly how I can apply them to my life. Over the next few weeks, my hope is to be able to process some of these thoughts with you.

Starting with the overall theme of Catalyst they displayed how

the tension is good.

For YOU why is tension good?

10 Questions Every Leader Should Ask

I came across this blog at swerve.lifechurch.tv it's by Craig Groeschel. It's to amazing not to post. These questions really challenged me, I would love to hear your comments on this.

10 Questions Every Leader Should Ask

During this series, we’ll look at ten questions each leader should ask in several different areas of life.

Today we’ll examine some questions that surround our Relationship with Christ.

1. What did I learn in God’s word this week?
2. Is my burden for prayer growing or diminishing?
3. Does my heart break for the things that break the heart of God?
4. Have I grown accustomed to or accepted sin in my life?
5. Am I doing ministry out of an overflow of God’s work in my heart or out of my own strength?
6. Has my teaching and ministry deepened, changed, or evolved in a positive way in the last year?
7. Do I have a sincere peace that I’m living an authentic life of spiritual integrity?
8. Is my heart growing larger for people and God or is it shrinking?
9. Am I closer to God today than I was a year ago?
10. Do others comment that they can clearly see evidence of God’s work in my life?

Which of these resonate with you? What else would you ask?
