Brenda A. Smith, President  of BWFLI asked Dr. Richard three questions :

BWFLI: “How has Fred stretched you?”

RR:  “Fred stretched me in his role as my  (1) ministry mentor:  by making me see and own God’s ministry gifts in my life as part of Christian stewardship. While I hesitate to “step up,” as many leaders counsel, he knew I would find it spiritually justifiable to “serve up” in my better usefulness for God. (2) leadership tutor: by giving me practical organizational wisdom. While academically heavy, I needed street-perspective, especially in the context of American culture. (3) personal sponsor: by lending me his credibility until I made my own. Not sure I have succeeded in the latter.

I am also applying his art of nuancing complexity to make matters simpler in understanding and communication. ”     (more…)
