Leaders Vs Managers

Here is a portion of Tony Morgan's Blog.... I like this...you should read the whole thing!!!!!


  • In their book First, Break All the Rules, Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman defined both roles like this:
  • Managers – “Great managers look inward. They look inside the company, into each individual, into the differences in style, goals, needs, and motivation of each person. These differences are small, subtle, but great managers need to pay attention to them. These subtle differences guide them toward the right way to release each person’s unique talents into performance.”
  • Leaders – “Great leaders look outward. They look out at the competition, out at the future, out at alternative routes forward. They focus on broad patterns, finding connections, cracks, and then press home their advantage where the resistance is weakest. They must be visionaries, strategic thinkers, activators. When played well, this is, without doubt, a critical role. But it doesn’t have much to do with the challenge of turning one individual’s talents into performance.”

What I think about you...


Here is a what I think about you moment.... There are people in your life that help you along and make you a better person...Daniel McCullers is one of those people in my life.


Daniel is our Summer Intern at Discover Point Church. He is staying at Jeff's house (our admin pastor.) So call him to see when the next big party is!!!!! Just kidding Jeff.

We are having him clean up things at the church, and make things, he has been with production for a few weeks, and then played with the band for a week, he is going to do every thing there is to do here. He is a student at Liberty university and is studying worship arts (i think that is what it's called.) He is a great guitar player, song writer, and just an all around creative person.

I have known Daniel for years and years!!! I can honestly say that my life is better for having known him. Good guy. Lisa and I call him our son away at college... Daniel was a candle lighter in my wedding. He and another guy walked down the aisle side by side and started lighting the thousands of candles (an small exageration) we had in our wedding. Daniel could not get one candle lite. He tried for 10 minutes, then finished the candles and came back and tried again for what seemed like an hour. The other guys had finished way before daniel and then just walked off and left him out there... it was a kinda funny story that I have on him so I thought...why not share it. Just watching him so intensely trying to light 1 candle infront of 200 people was hillarious!!! And by the way he never got it lite.

Sunday Lookback



I'm so late looking at Sunday this week that I had to rename my post....

(picture is from Todd Fields new CD)





  • Brien shared from the book of Romans on Sunday and completely led me into worship of Jesus.

  • We had a ton of people there and I pray that continues.

  • I love that guy and he can truly rock on Sundays.

  • The music was great and the entire band seemed to mesh (if that's truly a word.)

  • on a Side note I am at work today and I just talked to a really dumb head.

  • Those kinda people are not the kind you want to see this early in the morning.

  • Anyways..... We had a world renowned speaker at our church this morning!!!!

  • Andy Stanley....through video for ONE PRAYER.

  • It's exciting to be a part of praying with thousands of churches for God to change something.....

  • Connections cards were not used this week and I need to figure out another way to get the info from the people.

  • I am thinking add it with an event sheet....Brad is making one I think.

  • One young man this week decided to follow Christ!

  • Baptism Celebration this week on Sunday from 3- whenever! Almost 20 getting dipped.

  • and FREE FOOD!!!! (If you call hotdogs food.)

  • I think we need to bring chips or a drink with you when you come....

  • We are still constantly working through sound issues, monitor issues, tv monitor issues, lighting deals, programming, planning, videos making, band scheduling, and ect.

  • I can't wait for this week at Discover Point.....Leading Worship is such a blessing for me. I love singing about what Jesus has done, and leading his people closer to Him.

Step away from the ledge


In the past I have been in churches where I felt alone as a worship leader. It seemed as if I was the only creative force on a Sunday and had to work hard to hold it all together. Part of why I started this blog is to share with other worship leaders that we are not alone. We can step away from the ledge of loneliness. We are not alone. God places people in our churches and lives that are waiting to be a part of what God wants to do. We just have to get out of the way as worship leaders and be a part of the creative process.

I know it's hard but that's what it takes for a life changing worship time. Production, planning, implementing, music, dynamics, arrangements, and....oh yeah the Spirit's leading.....We can have a part in this as the worship leader..... It's okay...I know it's not easy but trusting your team is sometimes more important (in my opinion) than having it you way.

Listening to God

Now this is a tough subject. How do you listen to God? As a worship leader and Pastor I have never actually heard God tell me to make this decision. But I can say that I know what God wants me to do alot of the time. Through prayer, and the Bible, and listening to other followers God speaks to me. Through other worship leaders, and song writers God speaks to me. I can see His movement at our church through these areas. The fact that we are going to be baptizing almost 15 people at our baptism celebration is God speaking to us.

Let's keep our ears open. I had an instance recently where God started speaking to me. He used my wife...which when Lisa has something to say about anything in my life I listen because she is an expert on all things david. God has used her many times and he spoke through her on this case. Then a buddy gave me some guidance on the same subject, Then I was given motivation from disrespect that I believe God used to push me. (I need that sometimes ya know.)

So this is where I stand......Listening and waiting for God's next word to me....what could it be and where will I go? Fishing with E again maybe??
