Pastor Steven Furtick

…you’re falling behind.

One of the principles we live by at Elevation is that there’s no such thing as maintenance mode.
We’re either progressing or regressing…increasing or decreasing.
There is no neutral zone.

When leaders start playing not to lose rather than playing to win, atrophy is inevitable.
And by the time we sense that we’re losing momentum, it’s typically too late to turn it around, because we’ve lost the necessary momentum to move forward.
So we stay stuck.
Just ask Moses’ generation, who wasted away in the wilderness.

I realize that a love for progress can lead to shortcuts and compromises if you don’t keep it in check.
But wise leaders insist on taking new ground every single day.

Wandering in circles can be just as fatal as charging forward in the wrong direction.
