Comparing The Nazarene Bible College With A Batchler Of Art In Ministry

A while back I had two significant events in my life. One, was my graduation from Nazarene Bible College with a Batchler of Art in Ministry with a focus of Leadership and Ethics. The learning I achieve in that program brought me to a new belief in myself and a living illustration for my young boys. Second, was completing a program (no longer in existence) called "Beeson Institute for Advance Church Leadership." (Asbury Seminary) This program taught me more about ministry than another program I had ever seen or experienced. In the Beeson Institute, I grew in ways I had no idea I could grow. I had the opportunity to sit and learn about "Building a Dream Team," "Growing a church in a small group concept," and "How to balance your life." The third significant event was studying under Scott Fay, and learning from the John Maxwell Team. (JMT) This training prepared me for

I learn better in groups of people that are like minded. (Inner Circle)
2. I know less than I have ever thought I knew. (humility)

3. I will be on this journey to the death. (determination)

4. I love living Christ in front of people and adding value to their lives. (purpose)

So, it brings me to our reflection, "What must you change in yourself to become a better leader?" What must I change in myself to become a better leader, I have to become more.

If I want to do, be, or have more I have to become more

No truer words were written than this,

“If you want to have more, you have to become more. Success is not something your pursue. What you pursue will elude you; it will elude you; it can be like trying to chase butterflies. Success is something you attract by the person you become. For things to improve, you have to improve. For things to get better, you have to get better. For things to change, you have to change. When you change, everything changes for you.”

I am currently becoming more, I pray and hope to keep an appetite of
