Christine Caine spent the better part of last week with our staff at Bay Area Fellowship.  After speaking two nights at the Glo Women's Conference and 5 weekend services, she made time to sit down and pour into our staff.  This was a powerful time for our staff, leadership and key volunteers.  A few of the key takeaways from this time and Christine's 20+ years of ministry experiences were the following:  1.  The staff of a Church must not only support the Pastor's vision, but the vision must become theirs.  Only by grafting our Pastor's vision into our DNA, will we ever be able to fully support him in carrying it out.  2.  Balance isn't the Goal.  A balanced life is a myth when it comes to those called to lead the Church.  Meaning: Nothing can compete for the HIGH calling God has placed on our lives.  No outside agendas should pull us away from the direction our Church is heading.  3.  Always check your heart.  We must frequently examine ourselves and purge ourselves of attitudes or actions that might prevent us from furthering the assignment God has given our Pastor.  There were many more gems in this time we spent together and we have all been challenged and inspired.  Bryan Fiscus
