I hear it all the time: โIโm not a numbers person!โ Sometimes someone will say something like, โI sure am glad youโre the numbers guy and not me.โ The truth is I am a numbers guy and I love me a spreadsheet where I can track a lot of different, complex things and put together a simple report that helps us see whatโs happening in our ministry. To do that, I track a lot of different metrics.
Recently I had the privilege of writing a series of columns for The Christian Index related to a breakout session I am leading during the upcoming GO Georgia conference. The title of my session is โBudget with Purposeโ and is one of over 100 breakout sessions available to conference attendees. I was humbled by the opportunity to write for such a distinguished publication as well as for the invitation to lead a breakout session at the conference.
