00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,200
“Disunity disrupts the mission.”

2
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:13,300
These words by Andy Stanley are key for us 
to understand, both at home, work, and in 
our community.

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,900
In fact, if any group of people is to move 
forward toward a common goal,

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,900
we can and should promote unity despite differences.

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,900
We can show the strength available through 
multiple perspectives—

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,800
not to pick the best one but to promote everyone’s 
strengths when combined.

7
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:36,600
As Judah Smith recognized, you don’t have 
to pretend to agree.

8
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:43,100
That’s not unity. Unity acknowledges differences, 
but doesn’t get offended by them.

9
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:51,500
Rather, unity respects differences. So today 
I challenge you to become welcoming to differences,

10
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,000
but never disunity. I’m Mac Hammond; this 
is the Winner’s Minute.
