Closers multiply leaders. Losers depend on the same few.

You cannot reach more, impact more, and stay out of burnout while holding ministry tight.

At some point you have to give it away.

Patrick Zaccaria holds a clear conviction on marriage and says plainly that it is a hill he will die on. Then he says what usually gets left behind when leaders defend that hill.

Full grace and full truth. Lacking either one means we are not really doing the ministry of Jesus.

Which one is easier for you to carry?

When Patrick Zaccaria and his wife were deciding where to live, they didn't pick the easy option.

They moved into Hillcrest, an LGBTQ neighborhood in San Diego.

No program. No launch plan. Just dinner parties, open doors, and neighbors.

What they found was distrust. People would back up the second Jesus came up. "Don't try to change me."

So they slowed down. They built friendships first. And out of those friendships came the chance to talk about Jesus.

Today that work is Thousand Rainbows Ministries, and Patrick is helping churches learn to do the same thing in their own communities.

Tom Herbert sat down with him at the Annual Assembly to hear the whole story.

So they slowed down. They built friendships first. And out of those friendships came the chance to talk about Jesus at all.

People rarely drift into leadership. They are invited, developed, and empowered.

In this new episode, Dennis Calhoun walks through the difference between leaders who close the gap and leaders who lose future leaders without ever meaning to.

✅ Closers pray for their leaders. Losers pray very little.
✅ Closers engage with questions. Losers shy away when they hear no.
✅ Closers develop people intentionally. Losers hope leaders appear naturally.
✅ Closers create clear pathways. Losers leave growth to chance.
✅ Closers build systems. Losers depend on personalities.

If your leadership bench never seems to get deeper, this one is worth the time.

You can't bank faithfulness. You can't borrow it from last season.

Crawford Loritts puts it plainly in this clip: God brings a platform through faithfulness in the moment. And the leaders busiest managing their image are the ones quietly losing their impact.
