I consider blogging a form of mentoring. Actually, I think of it as digital discipleship. It’s the way I can share what God is doing in my head and in my heart for anybody who cares. Honestly, it started out as a personal journaling exercise. Then I realized that it was a great way to stay in touch with our growing church. And somewhere along the way pastors started reading it.

With more than 10 million hits year-to-date, blogging is the most important thing I do quantitatively. And I pray that my posts are prophetic. But I also want to make a qualitative difference. And that happens face-to-face and one-on-one. Jesus modeled it by recruiting and mentoring 12 disciples.

As leaders, we tend to focus on the quantitative dimension. But it’s the qualitative dimension that leaves a lasting legacy. There is nothing wrong with making a little difference in a lot of lives. But the ultimate impact is making a big difference in a few lives!
