Leadership

We need seminary. But in fairness to a seminary education, there are certain things it will never be able to impart, even if it tries.

Retirement means many different paths to people. Pastors and other church staff especially have issues unique to them.

When an organization gets too comfortable – boredom, complacency, and indifference are common results.

Unless we plan on uprooting the Spirit from our lives, we’d better plan on being gentle, loving, kind, and patient, and letting the political chips fall where they may.

When we don’t get adequate sleep we can become more rigid in our thinking and less adaptable. Rigid thinking impairs good decision making.

When leaders build internal legitimacy, their leadership doesn’t rest on people’s opinions, but on their sense of calling from God.

What we’re overlooking in our conversations about leadership

“The well-defined leader continuously pursues internal alignment, embracing their true self before God. They allow the Lord to define who they are more than the expectations of individuals or the apparent successes or failures of any organization.” -Kevin Ford and Jim Singleton
