David Kennard had such a positive, calm, and humble spirit about him. He was probably my favorite speaker so far this semester because I was able to relate to him in a lot of ways. You see, I never thought I had the gift of public speaking. It as been something that I have always wanted to excel in and have been praying for the Lord to help me improve in but, I haven’t gotten comfortable with it yet. David gave me a new perspective though!
He explained very simply that not every leader is gifted in Pastoring or teaching a huge congregation. Being a site Pastor provides him with the opportunity to lead in the way he saw himself leading from the time he was a young man.
I love when we get new perspectives on ways to lead because it reminds me that I don’t have to do things the way everyone else is doing them. We need to make sure we don’t put God “in a box” by assuming He wants us to stick to the fine lines. Sometimes we need to get out of the box and take a chance by leading in new ways. This is a huge learning experience for my growth in leadership. Good Stuff.
