I can lead in our Hillsong Church and conferences now in a way I couldn’t have/wouldn’t have 15 years ago because that trust and rapport with our leadership and our congregation has been built over 15 years. ⁣
⁣
At every stage in this journey of serving I have led to the level at which I am trusted. ⁣
⁣
Doing this has, in turn, built trust. As the boundary of trust grows larger, I can then lead to that new, extended boundary – all the while respecting it, valuing it, keeping it safe. ⁣
⁣
You don’t build trust by pushing and stretching it, but by valuing and keeping it. ⁣
⁣
Don’t lead beyond your trust level. Lead to the level at which you’re trusted and do so BOLDLY. If you’re not sure, ask (your leadership). And then go for it!
