You will never assume you’ve got your partner completely figured out, so you’ll always date, always explore new dreams together, and always be learning about each other.

You didn’t go into ministry to be ineffective or to make only a small impact. It’s just that sometimes we have a funny idea of what constitutes effective church leadership.
