Well, this week I'd like to do another shameless promotion for Charting a Bold Course - the leadership opportunity that we're talking about at GPC these days. We're kicking the program off on Sept. 15 and you can get more info & sign up here. This week I'd like to let you hear from one of the guys who has been through this already - Jim Mast.

Did you have any apprehensions about signing up for CBC? Just a quick note to anyone who is thinking about joining the CBC this fall, I was very apprehensive about the time commitment, but as we got started I looked forward to going to every session as we discussed what a leader looks like. Not only church leaders but also as a husband, father, businessman or with your friends.

What were some of the highlights of the program for you? Some of the best sessions were the times we spent looking at our life’s journey to this point, helping us understand how other people’s journey might be a lot different than my own but we can still work towards the same goal.

Overall, how would you describe your experience in CBC? Some of the best time I have ever spent connecting with other guys & putting in perspective what it means to be a great leader for your family, church or business looking to the future, all of us are leaders for someone... why not be a great one?

We'd love to have you in the leadership discussion through CBC. There is no age limit. We're just looking for men who want to grow and be stretched in their leadership at home, work & the church.

Looking forward to being stretched with you,
