5 Ways You're Different From Joel Osteen (and other megachurch pastors)

1. They see themselves more as teachers and directional leaders than as pastors.
2. Their gift is leadership.
3. They have secular work experience.
4. They admit little conflict, high satisfaction.
5. They don't think about quitting.

5 Ways I (Hope) I am not like Joel Osteen.
1. I wouldn't back down from giving the gospel when asked by Larry King.
2. My "Eye Blink to Word Spoken" ratio is less than 1 to 1.
3. I'm not afraid to call people (including myself) a "Sinner".
4. My face would rip if I smiled that big.
5. When I draw a crowd, people don't "sit and listen" as much as they "point and laugh".
