The Cost of Change. Don’t Be A Worm!
Leadership requires that we assist people through healthy, necessary, productive change. To move from one phase to another in life, whether personal or organizational, requires two important truths about change.
Thanks a lot WaWa! A little Bit of "Sole Care"!
To expect our bodies and minds to recuperate with little sleep, caffeine induced productivity and constantly working 7 days a week is expecting, even demanding, that God perform a miracle, weekly. It’s irresponsible.
Ripe Pep-pahs! Leadership Win!
Key elements in growing ripe peppers, and healthy leaders! Properly responding to leadership fails often results in leadership wins. When we are able to properly help others in achieving their potential, it becomes a win-win! That's what we're shooting for!
Rotten Toe-Mah-Toes! Leadership Fail!
As leaders, I believe we’re ultimately called to see that everyone is given the greatest opportunity to reach their God-given potential. To not do so will result in rotted fruit!
Go and Get 'Em. The Art of Loving People.
For the church, “Come and get it” can no longer be the only ticket on sale.We have opportunities to be effective, relevant and healthfully engaging our communities - and we don’t have to plan any of them! It's about the art of loving people!
Unchurch. How God Uses Us Outside of Buildings.
Today was an adventure. Pain, sorrow and joy all mixed together, and I wasn't where I was supposed to be, imagine that!
Hand in Glove. How Stopping Fuels Our Starting.
Work can quickly wear out gloves. The same is true for rest. The more we work, the more we have to intentionally rest. Don't think you won't get worn out - others will notice long before you do! It's time to say "no" to the pattern of this world! Sabbath!
Eureka! When We Get It. The Beauty and Joy of Sabbath.
Taking a break from our regular work is, in part, designed to make us enjoy that same work even more. Why do we keep jumping on the spinning hamster wheel? Some things we just have to learn on our own.
Like an Umbrella. Why We're Given Authority.
Just like an umbrella or awning, authority is designed to take the brunt of the storm for the benefit of others. Fold up an umbrella and apart from it being a mediocre jousting tool or walking stick, it’s pretty useless...Collapsed authority is of no benefit to anyone. It fails to fulfill the purpose for which it was given.
I Can't Do That! The essentiality of rest.
Rest, or sabbath, is a nonnegotiable with God because He cares so deeply about us and craves the very best for us! But, are you courageous enough to do what it takes?
