I was just looking at reports from various state ministers meetings and was blown away by some obvious omissions on some state boards! I’m thinking, how in the world do you have this caliber of leadership among you and they not get elected to ANY state board? It is really crazy to me!Here are the obvious omissions to me. They were unbelievably not elected to any state boards in their respective states:Alabama Travis Johnson David Smith(They pastor 2 of the top 4 churches in the state and are respected throughout the COG as top leaders)Western North Carolina Loran Livingston(Serves on the executive council and pastors the largest congregation in the US)North Georgia David Cooper(Pastors the largest church in the largest state)Tennessee Shannon Chapman Jason Daughdrill (Two incredible young leaders who pastor two of the fastest growing churches in the COG)

I enjoyed serving on the Florida State Council. And, serving on the Executive Council is a high privilege, both have been. Quite honestly, it takes my breath away...very humbling for so many reasons.This year's ministers meeting in Alabama was the first Ministers Meeting in Alabama I've attended. I really enjoyed it. I've enjoyed Prayer Conference and Camp Meeting in Alabama. In fact, attending Camp Meeting up at Metro with my dad last summer was one of the most special days of my life. My dad worked so hard to get there. Pastors came by and honored him with words and love...it was beautiful...beyond beautiful. I'll never forget it.

Or - maybe the same old same old gets elected again - rotating from one board to another - and with the same folks - the same results will occur ad infinitum.Just a thought.I could be way off base here.

Many good men opt-out for reasons a plenty. A pastor can surely handle only so many extra curricular activities, if his plate is full. it is better for someone else to sit on a board. But, BUT in some cases it is as NBF has noted, a revolving door. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

I will give you that one, but I think it has been true MORE in the past. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

Bump!
