“A church has to be permission givers, and church leadership have to be permission givers. So when somebody comes in and says, I have this great idea, it’s like, go for it. It doesn’t have to go to six committees. It doesn’t have to be approved in the budget a year from now. It’s go for it. We’ll find the money and the resources. Let’s do it. Let’s try it.
