Morning Leaders – Without Community

Morning Leaders. “The more isolated and disconnected we are, the more shattered and distorted our self-identity. We are not healthy when we are alone. We find ourselves when we connect to others. Without community we don’t know who we are…
When we live outside of healthy community, we not only lose others. We lose ourselves…Who we understand ourselves to be is dramatically affected for better or worse by those we hold closest to us.” – Erwin McManus

Morning Leaders – Greater Love

Morning Leaders. “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.” (John 15:13; 1 Peter 4:8; 1 John 3:16-18)

Morning Leaders – If They Never Knew Your Name

Morning Leaders. “Would you be willing to give your life to save the world if no one ever knew your name? If anonymity was the price you would have to pay for significance, would it be too great a price? To live a life of courage is not a guarantee of prestige or adulation. It only matters if you live and die fulfilling the mission you were born for.” – Erwin McManus
