Leaders who are told to leave it all on the field are often left burned out with nothing to give. But what if there were a different way to lead? In this episode, Albert Tate, pastor of Fellowship Monrovia, explains that our job is to prepare what we have, surrender it to God and allow Him to multiply our efforts.
Albert Tate is the founding and lead pastor of Fellowship Church in Los Angeles County California. He began his ministry pastoring just a few families at Sweet Home Church in Mississippi before serving the historic Lake Avenue Church in Pasadena, California. Hearing the call from God to plant a church, Albert and his wife, LaRosa, launched Fellowship Church in January 2012. In its short history, this Gospel-centered, multiethnic, intergenerational church has already established a solid foothold in the region to the glory, honor, and transformational power of Christ. As a dynamic communicator, Albert is passionate about sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ both locally and globally. He serves on the Board of Trustees at Azusa Pacific University, the Global Leadership Network, and Global Church Planting Organization, Stadia. Albert is the Founder and CEO of The Greatest Story, Inc., and President of Harambee Ministries. He recently published his first book entitled, How We Love Matters: A Call to Practice Relentless Racial Reconciliation. Albert is the proud father of four children: Zoe, Bethany, Isaac, and Micah.

Leaders who are told to leave it all on the field are often left burned out with nothing to give. But what if there were a different way to lead? In this episode, Albert Tate, pastor of Fellowship Monrovia, explains that our job is to prepare what we have, surrender it to God and allow Him to multiply our efforts.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Sometimes leaders believe the lie that they are supposed to “leave it all on the field.”
In John 6, the boy brought all that he had—2 fish and 3 loaves. Jesus took the boy’s efforts, multiplied it and fed nearly 15,000 people. After the people were full, there were still leftovers.
We need to learn to lead with leftovers.
We don’t live on the field, we play on the field. We live at home. If we “leave it all on the field,” we go home with nothing.
Live for your eulogy, not for your resumé.
Philip brought the little boy to Jesus. This may have seemed like a dumb idea, but Jesus used his “dumb idea” to display a miracle.
You never know when God’s going to use a dumb idea to do something great.
Create a culture where dumb ideas are celebrated.
Leaders need to cultivate the posture of “giving God what you have and getting out of the way.”
We’re called to surrender what’s limited in our hands to the limitless power of an almighty God.
Running on empty is not a sign of a great work ethic. It is a sign of a missed opportunity to see God’s work in your life.
Humbly submit what you have to God, and get out of the way.
Posture your soul to see the awe and wonder of Him moving in your life.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being full of energy and 10 being completely burned out, how burned out are you?1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
No matter where you rated yourself, imagine what your life would look like if you moved the dial toward more energy. How would your home or work life look different?
What is one thing you can do/change today to move the dial?
