Successful Succession Planning Insights By Mark L. Vincent
Successful Succession: Continuous Organizational Leadership I’ve witnessed many succession plans, leadership transitions and led several during my career. These experiences led me to develop a theology of ending well, studying bible story accounts of when leadership succession worked and when it didn’t. I wanted to know if divine guidance was present in any of…
Point of Light By W. Scott Brown
A POINT OF LIGHT: A TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH Our nation lost a statesman, distinguished leader and a point of light on Nov. 30, 2018. President George H.W. Bush was a leader who embraced humility, always avoiding discussion of his “legacy,” but who nonetheless left behind a leadership legacy of dignity, grace, integrity,…
Getting Composed By Rob McKenna

Are You All-In? By R. Scott Rodin
It’s All His , So Are You All-In? Have you noticed that throughout Scripture, with God, it’s all-in or nothing? “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” (Deuteronomy 6:5).

All Praise and Thanks to God
All praise and thanks to the One Who is worthy! We discover over and over again in God’s Word that He, alone, is worthy of our praise.

What type of applause are you seeking? Leaders are exposed to opportunities to generate applause. It can come in the form of commendation from the board, approval of our decisions by employees, recognition of our institution’s work by constituencies, admiration of our leadership abilities by co-workers, and words of appreciation from family and friends. Types…
When the Subject Line is You By Karen Moore
He knows you. O Lord, You have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up, You know my every thought when far away. – Psalm 139:1-2, NLT So Consider This God knows everything. He regards you very highly and no matter what is happening in your…
What Does Christian Really Mean? By Mark L Vincent
When an organization says it is “Christian,” it is quickly unclear whether it means: FOR Christians? BY Christians? FROM Christians?
