We’re going to start a new series on the blog next week. I’m really excited about this. I’ve started connecting with some cool people outside of ministry to encourage them to share their story. In the process, I’m also asking for their perspective about how those of us inside the church can grow our leadership and our impact.

These aren’t church people. They are normal people. That means you’re going to hear unfiltered thoughts. Some of us have been on the inside of ministry for so long, we’ve forgotten how the real world thinks. That perspective will be helpful for us as we try to connect with today’s culture, and I think we’re going to learn some incredible leadership lessons along the way as well.

Check back on Tuesday for the first guest. I think you’ve heard of him. He’s still discovering purple cows.
