Honestly I tend to think outside the circle. All I know is that God is urging me, nudging me to reach out to other Pastors and leaders so that we can - through God's grace - add value to one another lives. This I also know, because the Bible tells me so :) That when I accepted God into my life He took residence in me, He dwells in me and I in Him. Now since He also dwells in you and you dwell in Him, does that not put us in the same circle? I only use you and I as examples as I feel this should apply to all Pastors,nay to all of God's children. Yes I realize that there are exceptions, however that is by there choice as I do not believe God called any of us to be elitists, nor did He call us to be alone or lonely. Well I did not mean to rant, I just tend to get passionate about my purpose and principles, now if I just had a plan! Which is yet another good reason for God's kids to associate to share our plans, to help each other refine and focus them.

I absolutely see the value and sincerely wish I had such a group even if online for the time being. I have reached out to a few both locally and online. Unfortunately I am finding it difficult to get a response - I know pastors have a busy schedule - but if it truly is a value to all parties isn't the investment of time worth it?

Pastor John

T.D Jakes, John C Maxwell and Max Lucado come to mind.
