During their conversation, they discuss increasing capacity and the importance of quiet times.<br> <br> BEST QUOTES<br> "The main thing I am working on personally is just trying to accomplish everything God wants me to accomplish, and that’s generally a little bit more than I am already doing by myself so I need to do some stuff to fill the gaps."<br> <br> "As people who God has called to be in leadership, we can forget the basics. There are fundamentals that provide the foundation for anybody’s leadership.
