I had a revelation a few years ago. I realized that at that point in my life, my life completely revolved around National Community Church. On one level, that is the price you pay as a church planter. But if you don’t “get a life” outside of church, I think your leadership and your preaching will eventually suffer. You need relationships, hobbies, and goals outside the church.

If you want to preach interesting sermons, you to need to lead an interesting life. Or to put it another way, if you have “no life” outside of church you’re messages will seem canned. They’ll be more theory than practice.

Interesting life = Interesting sermons
