Margin = Mission
I recently listened to the Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast with Stephen Covey. During the conversation, they were talking about the Covey Business and how Stephen was able to grow the business in new ways. Stephen said this:
“Without margin, there is no mission.”
In context, it was clear he was talking about the margin of profit and money for the mission. But what if that is also true for the ministry leader?
“Without margin, there is no mission.”
Said in my own words: Without margin in life, the mission God has for you gets choked out.
Think a bit about the quote from Covey and wrestle with how it plays out in the world you currently live in.
“Without margin, there is no mission.”
Where is your margin?
Is it intentional?
Is it scheduled?
Is your margin keeping you on mission?
