Are you an initiator or a responder?
- An initiator spends their time trying to think big and extinguish the fires of hell…a responder spends their time trying to figure out how to keep people happy and tries to extinguish the fires of small minded people.
- An initiator spends their time asking God to lead them to take huge risks…a responder spends their time asking God to keep them safe.
- An initiator takes God led risks…a responder will call a business meeting.
- An initiator spends all of their time trying to please God…a responder spends all of their time trying to please people.
- An initiator will preach what he feels that God has told him to preach and not fear the consequences…a responder will preach what makes people happy so he can receive a paycheck.
- An initiator spends all of their time trying to figure out what’s next…and a responder spends all their time trying to figure out how to guard the past and the present.
- An initiator prays huge prayers and asks God for impossible things…a responder doesn’t really think God is in the miracle business anymore & will pray prayers that doesn’t require God’s help to accomplish so that “God doesn’t look bad!”
- An initiator will surround himself with leaders who will speak their minds…a responder want people around him who will say, “Your poop doesn’t stink!”
- An initiator wants to meet with people who do not think like him…a responder is threatened by people who aren’t just like him.
Just a few thoughts…
