Exploring the Future of Local Associations, One of Four Things to Know This Week; February 15, 20242/15/2024 A Word to the Wise: "Most Christians understand the history of gospel past—the forgiveness of sins because of the work of Jesus. They also live with hope in gospel future—the promise of eternity because of his death and resurrection.
But what about the gospel today? I am deeply persuaded that many within the body of Christ live with a dysfunctional gap in their understanding of how their faith in Jesus radically changes everything about their existence now." Paul Tripp Ministries, 12.29.23, Help Us Close the Gospel Gap Practices of Healthy Associations

I had the privilege of speaking to the Florida Baptist Conference of Associational Leaders (FBCAL) in Jacksonville, FL, this week on “Practices of Healthy Associations,” and “Trends in Associational Missions.” Over the coming weeks, I would like to share with you several practices that I see as common to healthy, effective associations. Today is the first one. The Associational Leader is a Passionate Leader and a Committed Learner Al Mohler, in his book, The Conviction to Lead, says, “The passionate leader is driven…Passion is contagious.” He goes on to say, “When the mission is ambiguous and the beliefs of the organization are nebulous, passion dissipates quickly. Organizations driven by passion thrive on the experience of seeing change happen in the service of common convictions…To lead with conviction is to seize the role of teacher with energy, determination, and even excitement.” A Word to the Wise: Everything rises and falls on leadership, except for the grace of God.
