The whole Gathering staff team broke away from the office for the day today to do one simple thing: remind ourselves what really matters. It’s so essential for ministries and individuals to do this on a regular basis. Carving out time to get away from the routine and get refocused does amazing things in each of our lives. If we’re not careful, the business of life can overwhelm us to the point where we just forget what’s really important.

We focused on five things today that really matter:

People really matter
Prayer really matters
The Scriptures really matter
Ministry environments really matter
Advancing the vision really matters

I loved today – because of the people I was with and because of the things we were talking about!
