Andy Stanley shared some priceless thoughts on certainty in his session at Catalyst West. He said, "The more leadership you assume the less certainty and more complexity you'll experience." Andy just says it like it is: "I will always be uncertain. I am certain of it."
Let me share one principle I shared in my lab yesterday. It was a defining moment. We were preparing to launch our second location and I was filled with uncertainly. I was reading a book titled The Next Generation Leader by Andy Stanley. One sentence changed my approach to leadership. It set me free.
"You'll never be more than 80% certain."

Thanks for all the Catalyst twitter updates. Between you and Tony Morgan I feel like I'm there.
"I will always be uncertain. I am certain of it". God is getting me more and more comfortable with that certainty! In fact he told me once he was working to get me "comfortable in discomfort". I don't have to be 100% certain. I just have to know he is, and he's leading me!
I'm thinking that if we were ever 100% certain there would be no need for faith, yes?
Man, I needed to hear this! Thanks!
Is he certain about that?
