My friend, Rod recently came out with his first quarter reading list and as always comes up with an amazing one. What I appreciate about all of my years working alongside Rod was that he always challenged his team to be readers and self leaders. So I thought that I would share with you my own reading list that I'd like to finish by the end of summer. Here they are in order:
Launch - Nelson Searcy
Stripped - Jud Wilhite
Quiet Strength - Tony Dungy
Beautiful Boy - David Sheff
UnChristian - David Kinnaman
In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day - Mark Batterson
Followership - Barbara Kellerman
Strengths Finder - Tom Rath
Fired up or Burned Out - Michael Stallard
I LOVE how GOD uses great authors and thinkers like the ones listed above to challenge me in my life as a leader, husband and father. I just recently invested in a Barnes and Noble discount card and it has increased my desire to read more.
As my family and I embark upon this journey in starting a church, there is a "must" in staying sharp, fresh and inspired. Thanks Rod for the challenge in being a self leader.

Hey Steve. It was great to see Lauren last week it would have been even better if the fabulous Faiai foursome was there. We are so glad things are going well in NC and will continue to pray for y'all!!
