    in , ,

    Here are 2 questions that have launched HUGE ideas: 1. What can we do different? Can we be more creative? Why do we do it the way we do it? 2. What can make this better? To IMPROVE a process, product or plan. Any questions you would add to this list?

  • Prepare the Way (Part 2)

    Our job is to prepare the way for Christ to do His work. However, John also offers some insight into how we do this here. We see that honesty is important. John didn’t try to sugarcoat anything. John didn’t try to be politically correct. John didn’t apologize for the truth. John was honest with His…

  • Prepare the Way (Part 1)

    We’re all familiar with the story of John the Baptist. His work is noted several times throughout the Gospels. John had one single goal and calling…to prepare the way for Christ. John called for people to repent and be baptized with water in the expectancy of a Savior. John knew his role and obeyed it.…

  • Where’s Your Focus?

    Our focus determines our direction. It’s true in any walk of life. It’s true in any organization. It’s true in our spiritual lives. If our focus is on ourselves, others, or our own personal goals, our direction want be towards where God is calling us. I think that one of the great problems within the…

  • Thoughts From ONE

    Benjamin and I attended NewSpring’s ONE Conversation yesterday. It was great to learn in a reduced sized atmosphere. Here are a few things I took away from the experience… We can’t expect to lead people to places we’ve never been or aren’t willing to go ourselves. We have to be desperate to hear from God…the…

  • You Are the One!

    I’ve noticed a trend in many people’s lives. Most people believe God did what He said He did and believe that He can still do it, they just don’t believe He can do it in, through, or around them. I don’t have a survey from research, but I can prove it. Here are different types…

    Management is doing things right, leadership is doing the right things. -Peter F. Drucker I always find it interesting how large of a part Christian ethics play in not just church leadership, but leadership as a whole. It’s important that any leader have high ethical standards and the trust of the people in which he…

  • Voided Integrity

    Leadership is void if the leader is void of integrity. Integrity is rare to find in today’s world. It seems like every week we are learning about another leader doing something to disqualify themselves to lead. It seems like all people, especially leaders have forgotten the importance of integrity. It seems to be an epidemic…

  • Gospel It’s

    The Gospel: Preach it! Teach it! Live it! Others WILL get it! Perhaps the most important of these is the living it part…the part that we often get wrong. We can’t live anyway we want and still expect to be effective at spreading the Gospel. Our personal life is tied to the work we do…

  • 3 More Can’t Do’s

    Yesterday, I gave 5 things that I’ve learned we can’t do and still lead the effective lives that God’s called us to lead. I had some great comments about that post, so I thought I would follow it up with 3 more… 1. Think that what we do wrong only hurts ourselves. What you do…
