Steven Furtick and Rick Warren on Relationships
Awhile back Steven Furtick of Elevation Church posted a quote on twitter that read, “You’ve got to follow Jesus for yourself. But you can’t follow Jesus by yourself. Who’s got your back?”
In an interview of Rick Warren of Saddleback Church a months ago (via the catalyst podcast) he mentioned the importance of right relationships within ministry.
Rick Warren said, “To make it in ministry over the long haul you need four kinds of people in your life…”
Here are the four kinds of people he mentioned:
1. Mentors - The coaches. (Even Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods need coaches.)
2. Models - People who have come before you and are no longer alive, but have finished the race strong.
3. Partners - Co-workers and peers.
4. Friends - People that love you no matter what.
Do you have these four kinds of people in your life? Who’s got your back?
