U Matters

One of the best definitions of leadership comes from John Quincy Adams, the 6th president of the United States: “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.” How are you doing at helping people dream, learn, do, and become? Are you dreaming, learning, doing, and becoming? You could almost say these are stages of discipleship as we follow our Lord and Leader Jesus Christ.
