My Riskiest Move for God: My List of Possibilities Is Pretty Short

Five Christian leaders tell what God did when they took a surprising step of faith. By Rusty Russell I”m living proof God can use ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. Why God chose me to lead a church of 1,200 people in Southwest Florida is a mystery to me. I”m not a risk-taker. I like routine. I”m not a type-A personality. On the DISC profile, “D” doesn”t show up for me. When I go to the pool, I don”t dive in. I”m a toe-in-the-water guy. I ease in. My friends think I”m boring, but at least I”m predictable.

40 Under 40: Jamie Snyder

JAMIE SNYDER Lead pastor,  Lakeside Christian Church,  Lakeside, Kentucky I have long subscribed to the Christian leadership axiom, “The best indicator of future performance is past performance.” Now, to be sure, it is not the only indicator; but the track record of any emerging Christian leader should not be ignored, especially in the area of their character. This being true, it is encouraging to see the picture and name of Jamie Snyder on CHRISTIAN STANDARD”s list of “40 Leaders Under 40.” Even from his student days at Ozark Christian College, Jamie has been a young man with genuine humility and

John Russell Retires

This past weekend, John Russell retired after 40 years as senior minister of Lakeside Christian Church (Lakeside Park, KY). “While the vast majority of Lakeside Christian Church’s 100-member congregation supported hiring 23-year-old John Russell as its senior minister [in 1970], a few had reservations because of his age,” said an article in the Cincinnati Enquirer. “”They took a chance on me and decided that I’d grow and they’d grow with me,”” Russell said. Jamie Snyder will serve as the church”s new minister.
