Dear Perry,
While it is true that Jesus is central (or ought to be), it is also true he incarnates his presence within us by his Spirit. Be careful not to degrade your person because people meet Jesus in you and through you.
If I got to know you better, I might want to hear and see how Jesus lives his life out in you -- that would encourage and strengthen me.
What you said is very true, may our Lord bless you and give you discernment. in your leadership.

Chris
