How You Should Measure Success
On this episode of the Church Leadership Podcast John McGee sits down with Timothy "TA" Ateek (Teaching Pastor at Watermark Community Church) to talk about how to measure success. Christ calls believers to measure success differently than the rest of the world. Doing so will improve your church or place of work significantly. Four Questions for Measuring Success: Have I sought the Lord fervently in prayer? Have I asked the Lord what he wants and responded with excellence? Have I invited as many people as possible to come and meet with God? Have I seen God move?
