This evening I had the wonderful privilege of being part of a group of Christian leaders who heard the incomparable senior pastor of First Baptist Church Woodstock (GA), Dr. Johnny Hunt discuss his personal journey regarding money, possessions and generosity.   This was part of an event put on by INJOY Stewardship Solutions called Capital Campaign University.

As a leader, you cannot give people what you do not have.  Pastor Johnny’s thoughts will cause you to take a personal inventory on how you steward all God has entrusted you with.  The following are 31 Leadership Quotes And Lessons From Dr. Johnny Hunt On The Money, Possessions and Generosity.  After reading, make sure you take advantage of a special FREE resource from INJOY Stewardship.
