• Equipping That Multiplies – Turning one leader’s breakthrough into church-wide momentum
• Sustainable Success – Building ministries that flourish when you’re not in the room

Key Quote
"Success in ministry isn’t what happens when you’re there—it’s what happens if you left and never came back."

Scripture References

• 2 Timothy 2:2 – “The things you have heard … entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.”
• Proverbs 11:14 – “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.”
