Gavin Adams: Just Wondering: March 2009
http://gavadams.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Gavin Adams: Just Wondering. Lead Pastor, Watermarke Church. Thursday, March 12, 2009. If you could design your perfect life, what would you draw up? If you were just given a blank slate, what would you create? When you look at your life today, is it all you ever hoped for? These are great question to ask, because I think it really shows what you value and what's important to you. And these questions are telling about our relationship with our Heavenly Father. So what is God calling you to do?

Gavin Adams: Just Wondering: Sideline Critics
http://gavadams.blogspot.com/2010/03/sideline-critics.html
Gavin Adams: Just Wondering. Lead Pastor, Watermarke Church. Thursday, March 25, 2010. Here is how I handle EVERY critique we get at Watermarke:. 2 Consider the source. 3 Discern the heart behind the feedback. 4 Is this person engaged in the mission and do they understand the strategy. If the critique is good, then let them know. If it is poor, then give them grace. If it's rooted in frustration, there's a good chance people do not understand your mission or strategy/approach.

Tuesday, August 12, 2008. It is just amazing. First you can link to the whole story by clicking below to our Watermarke Blog Site. Http:/ www.mywatermarke.blogspot.com/. God Comes Through. Once Again. At our team meeting, we all met and were on the same page. Believing that God can do the impossible. We pray that God's will be done. If He provides the way, we go, if He doesn't, then our time is not now. We continue to pray as God is bigger than us or any of our efforts. GOD IS IN CONTROL. Now we finalize...

Gavin Adams: Just Wondering: Leadership Lessons I've Learned, Number 1
http://gavadams.blogspot.com/2009/09/leadership-lessons-ive-learned-number-1.html
Gavin Adams: Just Wondering. Lead Pastor, Watermarke Church. Tuesday, September 22, 2009. Leadership Lessons I've Learned, Number 1. 1 Never stop learning or asking questions. Every leader knows that we should always learn and ask questions. Nothing new there. Let me give you another take on this thought. Funny looking back, as each conversation started with "Do you REALLY want to hear everything? I heard the same basic story, issues, etc., from each person. That was great confirmation of the iss...I was...

Gavin Adams: Just Wondering: Leadership Lessons I've Learned, Number 4

Gavin Adams: Just Wondering. Lead Pastor, Watermarke Church. Thursday, March 4, 2010. Leadership Lessons I've Learned, Number 4. 4 Always lead with honesty and transparency. While this may be the most basic thing I've learned, it is also one of the most important. At Watermarke, I have not so much learned this (a.k.a. we have not lied a bunch and been burned), but rather been reminded of how important it is for leaders to be open and honest with those we lead. Funny thing, that was maybe the best message...

Gavin Adams: Just Wondering: Leadership Lessons I've Learned, Number 5

Gavin Adams: Just Wondering. Lead Pastor, Watermarke Church. Wednesday, March 24, 2010. Leadership Lessons I've Learned, Number 5. I remember hearing Andy Stanley teach on leadership decisions. One thing I specifically remember him saying was, “with most decisions, you’ll basically only have 80% of the information you think you need to make the decision.” That’s true. But when it comes to decisions, we can be out of balance in two ways:. YouTube - Watermarke Church. Twitter - Gavin Adams.

Gavin Adams: Just Wondering. Lead Pastor, Watermarke Church. Tuesday, October 6, 2009. Leadership Lessons I've Learned, Number 2. These meetings and discussions were taken very seriously in these business organizations, mostly because the outcome of these meetings represented profitability, shareholder value, etc. And then their was church. Here's what we count:. People in groups (to measure progress towards our win, as a percentage of total adults). Here's what we can't totally count, but in the end, it...

Gavin Adams: Just Wondering: Leadership Lessons I've Learned, The Beginning
http://gavadams.blogspot.com/2009/09/leadership-lessons-ive-learned.html
Gavin Adams: Just Wondering. Lead Pastor, Watermarke Church. Wednesday, September 2, 2009. Leadership Lessons I've Learned, The Beginning. I have seen too many leaders in business and church fail to know what they don't know, and that is a deadly position to be in as a decision maker. When a leader fails to realize what they don't know, decisions too often are made based on bad assumptions and faulty information. 1 Never stop learning or asking questions. 3 Develop People and Teams. 6 Patience is a Virtue.

Gavin Adams: Just Wondering. Lead Pastor, Watermarke Church. Friday, February 27, 2009. Keeping Priorities in Check. It is easy for me to rationally look at my work-life and believe that my family is a priority, but that is far less important that what my family perceives. I was so convicted about this yesterday and I made Chantel look me directly in the eyes and asked her one simple question, "Do you feel that my work-life, or anything else in my life, is taking precedent over you and our family? When I...
