I believe that every person can be a great leader and one quality of a great leader is being a great learner. I have found that some of the greatest learning moments come as a result of conversation. As a leader in church I find great leaders in families and friend circles, in business and churches, in tattoo parlors and barbershops to learn from.
My name is Chris Yourdan and I currently serve as the creative pastor at New Vintage Church in Richland Washington. I have been on staff since 2012. Here I will let you in on leadership conversations I'm having with some of my friends.
In life it’s so easy to stay general and to build walls to protect ourselves. As leaders we have to make it personal. If we want to succeed and we want the people around us to succeed it has to be personal. Today let’s take a look at the life of Jesus as inspiration for making our mission personal.

Leaders Love Solitude
I have always found it easy to isolate myself. Isolation protects you from being hurt and it protects you from letting others down… Or so I thought. We see throughout the gospels that Jesus went away often to find solitary places to pray. If Jesus, the creator of the world the savior of our souls needed to get away at times and quiet His soul, I think we need to learn how to get away and quiet our souls as well. This episode is the first episode in a mini series “Leaders ...” Join me next week for part two of this discussion, “Leaders Pray”

Apply It | Leaders Dream Big
On Tuesday we heard a conversation I had with Connor White, discussing the idea of dreaming big, sticking to your dreams and goals, even how to face adversity.
Today I wanted to share with you how I am practically applying some of the key thoughts and takeaways from that conversation to my life.
1. GO FOR IT!
* What's the best case scenario?
* What's the worst case scenario?
* Can I handle either one of those?
2. YOU NEED THE CRITICS.
* Don't seek yes men, seek people who will tell you the truth.
3. NEUTRAL THINKING
* Negative thoughts are always bad.
* Positive thoughts are not fool, proof.

Leading Yourself
As leaders, especially in a season such as the one we are currently navigating people need us as much as ever. As there is a higher demand placed on leadership and a premium put on you and what you offer to people, there will naturally come additional pressure. Today I want to talk to you about leading yourself in three simple but very important areas. Physical, spiritual and emotional. If we lead ourselves well here, we will be healthy and strong leaders equipped to lead others well.
