I’m at the Soderquist Center for Leadership and Ethics in Rogers, Arkansas with 10 mega-church pastors.  It’s been really good.  They’ve given us lots of evaluation tests, personality tests, and lots of interactive learning.  Things like this are both encouraging and depressing.  Encouraging because others are dealing with the same things and you can talk about it and try to grow.  Depressing, because none of us are perfect and seem to spend years trying to be more than we are overcoming our weaknesses, inabilities and worst of all - sin.  The guys I’m here with are real men, just like anyone else - dealing with their junk.  Some you see on TV, some in the paper - but when all said and done - just men who are gifted in a few areas.  Last night Don Soderquist talked to us - he was really good.  He spoke to us on leading like Jesus.  What a cool thing - a business guy preaching a bunch of pastors in the room who represent tens of thousands on Sundays and some of the TV ministries representing hundreds of thousands - maybe millions.  This is the new world we live in - and to me - it’s a good world.  There are so many people   who care about all of us waiting to speak into our lives - if we’ll just listen.
