10 ways I might fail this year
“Ministries should be failing more”
This is a statement I have heard Andy Stanley mention several times both in person and on one his leadership podcasts (i highly recommend them if you have yet to check them out). The idea isn’t that its better to fail than to succeed, the idea however is that we are always praying and thinking and coming up with new ideas and ways to reach people and aren’t afraid to try them…even if we aren’t 100% sure they will work. The ideas is that if we are never failing at anything than we are probably playing it too safe for the most part.
