The Importance of a Healthy Pace w/Nick Nilson

Nick Nilson is the Associate Pastor at Lakewood Church in Houston, TX. He's had a unique and interesting journey following one of the most influential voices of our time, Joel Osteen.  Highlights from this episode: "Ask great questions, be prepared, and be concise."   "Earning your leader's trust allows you to gain authentic favor with them."   "If you do your job really well and you do your job really well for a good period of time. I think it gains the attention of not just your manager, boss, the president of the organization, but also your peers. It just earns you great respect in your organization."   " Big leaders want to be around fun people who lift the room."    "People admire perfection, but they can't relate to it." Take-Aways: Knowing what questions to ask helps you understand your leader.    Consistency and faithfulness are characteristics in followers that stand out to leaders.    To be successful, it is essential to kill pride, be vulnerable, listen more, and slow down.   Be a follower who comes with solutions, not problems.   You can be doing things for God, and God does not want you to be doing them.  We must discern the difference between a good opportunity for the kingdom and a God-ordained opportunity.
