Want An Effective Ministry? Consider Becoming A Zagger

"When they zig, you zag." I don't know who said it first, but a lot of people have said it since. I'm a zagger. I’ve tried to be a zigger. To go with the flow, not against it. To pick the low-hanging fruit. But, time after time, without intending to, I find myself zagging. Getting off the interstate. Finding the road less traveled.

“When they zig, you zag.”

I don’t know who said it first, but a lot of people have said it since.

If you’re looking for an area of influence, impact and effectiveness in your life and ministry, you might want to consider becoming a zagger, too.
