#1: Terrell McTyer: Knowing Yourself Before Starting

In today's episode, Nick Warnes has a dialogue with Terrell McTyer. Pastor Terrell L McTyer serves as the Minister of New Church Strategies for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada. He is the founding pastor of Manifestation Christian Center (Kansas City, MO) which was an innovative, cause-driven gathering of young people steeped in unique tactics for discipleship, social enterprise and leadership development. Today, Terrell works to teach, equip, assist and multiply leaders through the New Church Ministry with an aim to increase missional efficacy and efficiency towards starting sustainable, world-changing churches. Here are some quotes from the interview: "I never had aspirations of being a mega church. For me the goal was never standing in front of 1,000 people preaching. When we opened the church, we had a no-sermon policy."" ""What we do is we have vision, and we go out and find people to support that vision. That's the wrong approach. Whoever you have with you right now is who God has with you for a purpose. So we have to figure out what are the gifts and the strengths of the team that you have right now and what can come out of that?"" ""I 100% believed and 100% didn't believe at the same time. All the time I was doing it with faith, I still had self doubt and self deceit."" ""Whatever you choose is the right answer. It's gonna be okay. The only thing that's not okay is to do nothing on earth. Do something that contributes to the economy of the kingdom."" ""You're going to make mistakes. But if you don't know yourself, there will be human casualties to those mistakes."" ""You cannot do this by yourself."
