I’m listening to a talk by Jeff Vanderstelt on developing leaders from The Resurgence. Really good stuff.

(Ministry, the Gospel etc…) does not exist for you. You are not to derive your significance from it. It is not the thing that exists so you can feel worthy. It exist to show that he’s worthy. If it’s about you at all, if your ego is tied up in this, you will not want to develop anyone else. ‘Cause if there’s a bunch of other people that get to do what you get to do, your significance decreases greatly.
