Thoughts on Leadership

“No man is satisfied in a swimming bath; he knocks his knees and elbows against its sides; he wants the sea. So with man’s soul, he hungers and thirsts for the ocean, for God; God infinite and Other, different to man, yet working in man…” - Baron F. Von Hugel

"Lust is the craving for salt of a man who is dying of thirst." - Fredrick Buechner


What people say they want, and what they really want may be two different things. The church is a place where people discover there is a sea, and where their brokenness and thirst can be quenched by living water.

As a pastor I carry with me, the fact that I don't want to keep people from the sea, or restoration.
