Episode notes
Relentless Focus
- Focus on a few key priorities relentlessly.
- Communicate these priorities repeatedly to your team.
Evangelism & Discipleship
- Evangelism and discipleship are complementary, not competing, values.
- Discipleship should follow evangelism, as you cannot disciple without first evangelizing.
Embrace Outreach Methods
- Prioritize reaching people, even if it means adapting your methods.
- Don't criticize the mechanisms of outreach; work with them strategically.
