The Most Important Question

I finished recording an e2 interview with Gary Brothers. If you are a pastor in Iowa you should get it in the next couple of weeks. In the interview he said something that really stuck with me. As leaders, we spend a lot of time answering the what, when, where, and how questions. His assertion was that the people are wanting to know the answer to the why question. Why are we going to two services? Why are we moving the organ? Why are we supposed to invite people?

He's been able to create a create culture of change and momentum at Cape First Assembly because he's answered the why questions. According to him, most people will follow the leader when they know why.
