Today we interviewed THE Dallas Lauderdale, former Ohio State Basketball player, preacher, teacher of the game, and leader. I had a blast interviewing Dallas and listening to the stories of his life.  He truly is a man after God's own heart and has a confident, authentic presence about him. He has traveled around the world playing basketball and has learned many lessons you will hear in this episode. #1- a.) Before you lead, you must learn to follow.  b.) Lead yourself #2- Dallas's Recommended books, Uncommon - https://www.amazon.com/Uncommon-Finding-Your-Path-Significance/dp/1414326823 The Pilgrims Progress- https://www.amazon.com/John-Bunyan-Pilgrims-Progress/dp/1541072642/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=the+pilgrims+progress&qid=1604354704&s=books&sr=1-7 #3- Every single thing we do MATTERS. Despite what it is or how small it is. #4- Failure let Dallas know he wasn't who he thought he was. It reminded him of who he really was. #5- Dallas suggests that I should totally surrender to Christ. #6- Dallas said I should go to... the foot of the Cross!!! #7-  1. Without Christ, we are NOTHING   2. With Christ, we are everything  3. You must learn to follow before you can lead #8- Don't be afraid to be YOURSELF.If YOU, the listener, have anyone you think I should ask these questions to please let me know.
