Leadership Network and Catalyst produced an event on September 9, 2009 called "The Nines". Each presenter shared 9 minutes of thought. One such speaker was Dr. Leonard Sweet. His talk addressed the problem of a big head in ministry. He discussed the mixture of confidence AND humility.
As a people helper (a ministry leader) we must constantly deal with the temptation to get a big head. Here are a few concepts Dr.Sweet highlights:
"I can do all things - THROUGH CHRIST'
"I empty myself - TO BE FILLED BY CHRIST"
"To deal with a big head - I MUST HAVE A BIG HEART"

The habit of centering (closing out everything but your attention on God) produces confident humility: a characteristic found in those who Serve Strong!
