Leadership

How Often Do You Feel Lonely?

Jesus’s life was more beautiful, more intentional, and much less lonely than our lives feel.

3 Warning Signs Your Church Might Be in Decline

Every church that has declined has had a mission, but they failed to follow it.

Leaders as Shepherds, Servants and Stewards

The reality of the unreached makes the need for leader development exceedingly acute and exposes the dire consequences of not having well-formed leaders.

Connecting Cross-Generationally to Reach the Community

For too long in the North American church, we have focused too much on how missions get done and not enough effort on who is doing missions.

What Do You Believe About Yourself?

Be a leader who tells a story of redemption, renewal, and righteousness living in all aspects of your life. Put away the negative words you describe to yourself, and begin to hear the positive comments that God poured into your leadership from others around.

Don’t Stop Writing Your Leadership Story

It is only when you desire change and are willing to take steps to produce change that change will come. What difference do you want to occur in your leadership story?

The Pastor and Enduring

So how do you know if you’re running well—or even running in the right direction? The answer to that may look different depending on how far along you are in your pastoral course.

Get Rooted Where You Serve

Sometimes, a leader has to survive the moment, buy time to survey the surroundings, and figure out what to do next.

Guilt Without Shame

I believe that a healthy sense of responsibility is absent of shame and enables us to recognize our mistakes without losing value.

Unity in the Season

Where once the church was the gathering place, the world enticed her people to become more lackadaisical to her offerings. As a leader, you must not focus on those who have chosen not to return, but on the ones who come at least once a month to church.

Panning for God

God did not call you to go into the accessible places where gold would be found, but the hard places where ministry must drill down into the community to find a solid foundation to build the church.
