Andy & I were talking about this last night. Having been in so many churches in the past year and a half, we’ve seen more leaders who are caretakers rather than game changers. Caretaking is necessary to an extent, but God gave us the mission to change the world by bringing people into His kingdom! In fact, while Jesus was on this earth, he was a radical game changer!
A caretaker takes care of the day-to day needs of others; they focus on maintenance, upkeep and daily tasks. A caretaker maintains order without rocking the boat.
A game changer significantly alters the way things are done. They drive the change and spur a shift in the status quo. They compare what’s being done to what’s possible. They have vision—and the personality and drive to make change happen.
We need game changers.
