Choose Your Starting Point

24 Hour Rule

The 24 Hour Rule keeps me out of a lot of predicaments.

My instinctual response is to agree with people. 

I want to jump in and help at any indication they want help.

I am “all in” for anyone who wants to be used of God and see God work His purposes through them.

I have also found that to get me committed to things I should not have agreed to…meetings, boards, projects, and organizations that don’t fit my calling or the amount of time I have.

AND, our Strategic Leader Academy kicks off with dinner on Tuesday, January 21, 2025 or Tuesday, January 28, 2025 here in Columbus, Ohio at our Ministry Hub. It includes dinner and time with my team and me. 

For more information, email sla@strategicchurchnetwork.org.

2025 can be your most productive year in ministry.
