Steve then goes on to relate these three points:
1. God has called you to be fulfilled as you express your uniqueness in Christ.
2. God has called each of us to be professional, not excellent.
3. Listen to your spouse far more than the official advisors you have on paper.

What do you think about being “pretty good”?
Steve Sjogren writes: "Just what is required of a pastor-teacher-leader of a local church to produce lasting fruit – that Jesus said is his desire to see in our lives and ministries? All of us have our eyes opened like little puppies after a couple of weeks on the job in our first pastoral position when we realize that people are and leaders within any church system are pretty much impossible to please. Thus, we need to get a clear bead on what exactly we are uniquely about. I like the idea of being “Pretty Good” – then asking God to show up to fill in the blanks in between. As we try too hard, there is too much Steve and not enough Jesus. Can you relate?
