Leadership

Dimwitted Pastors

As a church leader, How open are you to change? How open are you to new ways of doing things? How open are you to learning from someone younger than you? How open are you to trying things differently?

Dimwitted Pastors

Leo Tolstoy once said:

“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.”

 

How open are you to change?

 

How open are you to new ways of doing things?

 

How open are you to learning from someone younger than you?

 

How open are you to trying things differently?

 

If you already think you have all the answers, it’s a clear sign that you don’t.

 

Ministry methods always deserve an open mind.
