Focusing on one thing makes you make decisions on both what to do and what not to do. That often leads to greater results.

Some highlights from today’s episode:

Many church leaders do not feel like they are accomplishing something unless they are busy.
Church outreach programs and ministries need time to take root. They often produce long term results.
When our lives get complex, we tend to panic, get frustrated, or withdraw.
Small ministry wins in a church can create excitement and momentum for even bigger growth.

The six reasons that we discuss are:

You have to begin somewhere
Complexity leads to confusion and complacency
Helps the heart and attitude of the leader
The power of low-hanging fruit
Makes you focus on what really matters
Helps you to say no
