(5) Integrity: Word & Deed
As a former student leader in Chi Alpha (and D-1 athlete) once said, “Being a part of a team means that it’s not just about me.”
I appreciate his words, and I share them because this series of posts was written to share the heart behind our passion for living out the Chicago Agreement. You can read a condensed summary of the document and the full document (a total of three pages) at this link.

This is really intertwined with reason three (Post: Shifting from Consumer to Commissioned) but instead of focusing on you (the person reading this), the impetus is placed on those that aren’t reading this (yet).

Well, I like the way that sounds, it is much harder to live out!
(3) Shifting from Consumer to Commissioned
