Take 5 Series - "Courage"

Every Journey leader needs COURAGE.

The four essentials qualities of effective leadership are like the four primary colors from which we get all the colors once they are blended. These four essential elements of leadership are:

1. Character

2. Perspective

3. COURAGE

4. Favor

Today we will discuss COURAGE.

Courage enables the leader to initiate and take the risk to step out toward a goal.

COURAGE is...

• contagious
• initiating and doing what you are afraid of doing
• the power to let go of the familiar
• vision in action
• rising and seizing what is essential for growth

Steps for developing COURAGE

1. Attempt something each week that you could not possibly pull off without God. 

2. Invite accountability regarding commitments and decisions you've made.

3. Give an all-out commitment to a good habit for a set time.

4. Interview a courageous person. What gives them their courage?

5. Do the thing you fear the most and the death of fear will be certain.

6. Force yourself to be a decision-maker and a responsibility-taker.

I believe great courage has been demonstrated among our Journey leadership team. David
