    I came across this a few days ago. I haven’t gotten an invite, so I’m not exactly sure what it’s going to look like or what it’s going to offer. I do know, though, that it looks like AOL is making an effort to re-emerge as a relevant tool. I think a lot of churches…

    I used to pass him everyday. He’d be standing by the door every time I went in. He never said much. I never said much. I didn’t know his story. I never took the time to ask. I’d just smile and nod as I passed. He’d return the favor. I’d go on about my day.…

Leaders aren’t afraid of crunch time. Leaders don’t follow the crowd. Leaders don’t always choose easy. Leaders choose right over popular. Leaders are willing to invest in people. It sounds…
