Executive Pastor Jenni Catron contrasts a new, pristine neighborhood with its old, lived-in counterpart across the way, seeing an opportunity for a #leadership lesson: "Many of us are like the first neighborhood. We’re in a season of tremendous growth, everything looks beautiful and polished from the outside, but when you really live in that neighborhood, when you’re living in the intensity of your season of leadership, all you feel is the unrelenting sun and the lack of adequate shade in which to find relief. The pace you’re moving at allows you very little time to enjoy being in the walled fortress. After all, it’s a lot of work to keep up with that fancy landscaping. It requires a great deal of effort to keep up appearances. Your leadership is young, thriving but exhausting. In the second scenario, you’re in a more mature season of leadership. You’ve done your years of toiling in the scorching sun. You’ve learned to let go of the need for constant perfection. You’re benefiting from the shade. You’ve found a pace that is sustainable for the long haul." - Jenni Catron, "The Seasons of Leadership" buff.ly/1ci2MUC
