Key takeaways from this Episode:

On Worship Ministry:

• "If a seed is not planted on good soil, that seed's potential could be severely compromised."
• It is the worship team's responsibility to prepare the atmosphere for rain.
• Do not make what you are doing for God about you.
• It's human to like compliments and affirmation. We just have to redirect it.
• You probably are having a greater impact than you realize.
• Don't ever forget where God brought you from.

On Spiritual Entrepreneurship:

• There is a vision side to things, but there is also a business side to things.
• "What God has spoken to you is real."
• God placed that desire or dream in you. It is your responsibility to do something with it.
• "The challenge is not viewing your giftings and talents through the lease of self."
• Life in the Kingdom of God operates in seasons. Identify what season you are in and go with it.

These are just a few notes from this conversation. We pray it encourages, equips, and challenges you in your leadership.
