Tired and Want to Quit? By Dan Busby
Ever get tired and want to quit? I certainly have. And, there are certain times in life when we should quit. When we discern what we are doing is not in accordance with God’s plan, we should quit. If we are headed in the wrong direction, we should quit traveling that way. When our “passion…

Top 10 List of New Testament Givers and their Gifts By Dr. Gary G. Hoag
The context for my post today is the Christmas season when our thoughts focus on gift giving. Rather than direct your attention to purchasing a home entertainment system, the latest name brand clothing or the newest toys for girls and boys, I want to shift our gaze from this century to real gifts and the givers who…

Redefining Stewardship By Dr. John R. Frank
A blog is a type of conversation, is it not? So lets have a conversation about the definition of stewardship. I challenge blog aficionados to come to the blog and discuss a topic that most do not like to talk about. In fact, our seminaries do not teach it, our conferences try to offer examples…

Caretakers of Creation By Howard Rich
I was recently remembering the environmental and anti-littering commercials that were on television during my childhood. Maybe you remember them too. One ad campaign featured a Native American seated on a horse, a tear of sadness rolling down his cheek, as he gazed upon the litter piled up in the valley below him. These commercials…

4 Reasons Why Following Well Matters By James C. Galvin
Leadership remains a white-hot topic. Amazon lists over 1,000 new titles that will be released in 2013 alone. That means a new book on leadership is being listed on Amazon every eight hours. I decided to add to the overabundance and write a book to help people formulate a sound theology of leadership. But I…

3 Principles of Truth and Trust By Dan Busby
Trust is difficult to earn, easy to lose, and even more difficult to regain. It has been said, “Trust leaves on horseback and returns on foot.” If true, it is no wonder it feels like the Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes, and Preakness Stakes have all three been running 24/7 in some high circles in the…

Navigating Icebergs: Greatest Challenges Facing Female Christian Leaders By Dr. Halee Scott
In my book, Dare Mighty Things: Mapping the Challenge of Leadership for Christian Women, I argue that the bulk of the conversation about female Christian leaders is concerned with the degree of leadership a Christian woman is allowed to have. Though women are leading in both complementarian and egalitarian contexts, rarely have we moved beyond…

When Leaders Have Trouble with the Curve By Scott Rodin
If you watched the baseball playoffs and now the World Series, it’s clear that most professional baseball players have a hard time hitting a good curveball. There is a different kind of curve that challenges every leader. It is the direction we are curved toward the people we lead and the organizations we serve. There…
