Theology of Decrease

“The Theology of Decrease is when God calls you to develop a larger soul in order to embrace a lesser role so that you can accomplish a greater goal.”

“Even though I had a large role, I had a small soul—I had a big title, but I had not done the work to be mature enough to handle the responsibility.”

“Decreasing is about leading in the background; disappearing is about losing your backbone.”

“Your identity should never be wrapped up in a position, because leadership is not about positions, leadership is about posture.”

“If serving is beneath you, greatness is beyond you.”

“Leadership is who you learn from by looking at. When people look at you, what are they learning?”

“Truth without grace is mean; grace without truth is meaningless.”

“How you do anything is how you do everything.”
