Lessons for Leaders: The Heart
By Wayne Pederson In our capitalistic society, much of one’s success or notoriety is based on performance. If we do well, if we are successful, we are esteemed and valued. Even in the church, maybe especially in the church, our worth is often measured by performance. How many attended? How big is your budget? How many…
I Got Nothin' – What's a Steward Leader to Do?
By Dr. John R. Frank, CFRE As I was preparing to write this blog I thought to myself, “I got nothin’.” I was empty. I had no thoughts running around my head to share and start someone thinking. And then I put myself once again in the place of a leader who desires to be…
Are You Walking With God?

When Stewards Fall: Restoration
By Howard Rich When I think about the ups and downs, the successes and the failures of my life, I sometimes think of the Apostle Peter.

Rooted in Christ: The Secret of Lasting Fruit
By W. Scott Brown I love the verdant scene painted in Psalm 1:1-3. It portrays a vibrant, fruitful tree with leaves that don’t wither amidst heat or drought.

Who Is In Control?
“Unless we’re convinced the good Lord is in absolute control of everything, we’ll be controlled by anxiety and fear.”—George Foreman God is our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble. ~ Psalm 46:1 AMP We, especially those of us who live in the Western world, love…
Turning Disappointment into Opportunity
Things have ‘hatched’ badly here this spring. There are seasons when things go wrong; and they just have to be lived through; like the old inscription, ‘Good times and bad times; all times get over.’ —Beatrix Potter Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it;…
