Get to know Moriah Fleming, Worship Leader at Wellspring Community Church. Enjoy a quick Q&A with the newest member of the Wellspring team!

In light of the tragedies and violence that have occurred over the past few weeks, I have had a tough time processing words to say and knowing what to offer you all as care. In seasons of tragedy, we can often struggle for words. 

Moving anywhere brings about so many emotions. There's excitement for all of the new things, some anxiousness for the unknown, and some sense of loss from the people and place you may have left.

A few years back, I heard this quote from Mike Breen, a church planting guru from the UK, "A volunteer is someone who executes someone else’s vision. A leader is someone with a vision of his or her own." It struck me.

As one who has literally worked for decades to mobilize "volunteers" to fruitful ministry, I was struck by the difference that Mike articulates between a volunteer and a leader.

A volunteer is someone who executes someone else's vision.

A leader (and I would add "servant" leader) is someone with a vision of his or her own.
