A weakness or limitation is different than being a weak person or a limited leader. Its an acknowledgment of your humanity and gives you clues to how God uses weakness in your life.

When your church has a barrier to break through, its not just one gifted leader that makes it happen. Its the strength found in the culture of a team and how they work together that allows the breakthrough.
There is something that touches heaven and moves the heart of the Father when we align together in prayer, in agreement with Gods will, creating a contagious prayer impact.

Five ways to turn division into a meaningful conversation

First impressions do matter. It's not unspiritual to make sure your church property looks good, and your greeters are genuinely attentive and caring, any more than it is unspiritual to make sure your home looks great for guests.
