In the beginning, I was part of a strong Christian family with great role models. My mother's family was Presbyterian, and my father's family was First Baptist. Although I attended church regularly as I grew up, I did not attend as regularly during my middle years. I always believed in God, but sometimes my priorities were not Christian-oriented. I always had faith, but there were times when I allowed other priorities to prevail. Much later in my life, I realized how critical my faith in God was.

Scale is the phenomenon of an organization growing big. The principles of growth have been known for a long time, but the pace and the means of growth have increased exponentially in the last few decades.

Scale has been part of God’s redemptive purpose from the beginning. Whenever a church talks about its discipleship mission, it is talking about scale. Scale can accomplish much good, but scale also can destroy.
