Pastor Craig

Today's tribute is to Pastor Craig Groeschel, the founding pastor of LifeChurch.tv! 

He is an excellent leader, dynamic speaker, and devoted Christian!  His personal mission statement (and now the mission of LifeChurch) is "Leading people to become fully devoted followers of Christ."  I believe he sincerely seeks God's will and does his best to follow it wholeheartedly! 

 Here he is speaking with Andy Stanley, another pastor that I adore....

Craig is a Driver/Expressive... meaning he's a strong, decisive, and organized leader with great people skills and a good sense of humor!  When that personality is yielded to the Holy Spirit, it is incredibly powerful!!  His wife, Amy, is the perfect match for him.  She's humble and quiet and very devoted to prayer and the more intimate behind-the-scenes connections with family and church members.  Their marriage is a great model of what I desire for my future!  God has blessed every faith risk they have taken with LifeChurch, and Craig has so many personal examples of God using the bad things in life for good in the end!

His simple six-word motto -- which, depending on attitude, can be seen as a cheesy cliche or an incredibly deep and sustaining truth, depending on where you are in life -- is GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME.

Amen to that!
