The Best Possible Use - A Saturday Quote

“Don’t let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.”
— Earl Nightingale, Motivational Speaker and Author

Reports from the Road – Atlanta

Johnson Ferry Baptist Church What a great first week it’s been on the Top 3 Growth Barriers Tour for Senior Pastors!

Today is stop #4 and I’m in Metro Atlanta (Marietta), getting ready to train a great group of Senior Pastors – well over 100 – in the top 3 growth barriers that every church faces, regardless of size.

Our host today is Johnson Ferry Baptist Church, and they were gracious enough to partner with me to invest in some of my fellow pastors.

A lot has changed around Metro Atlanta since Johnson Ferry Baptist Church began in the early 1980’s, but one thing has remained constant: their solid commitment to Christ and expanding His Kingdom.

It’s going to be a great day in the Peach State!
