I made a decision today that will cause me some heartache over the next week. The blame will be placed on me and it will not be really fun. However I would make the same decision again and again. Remember sometimes our people like at the here and now, while you as the leader are looking long term.

God called YOU to the church you planted and you will give an account for how it is run, not them. Make the decisions, admit when you screwed up if you did, smile at the backlash, and lead knowing you made the right decision even if it isn’t the most popular.

Every planter will have to make decisions that are not popular, that is part of leading. Make the decision and then stand by it, no matter the backlash.
