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?
In April 2014, Pastor Francis Chan addressed Christian leaders assembled for the Christian Leadership Alliance (CLA) national conference in Dallas (CLA Dallas 2014).

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. He was one of the inner circle, witnessed the transfiguration, professed Jesus as Christ, and walked on water with the King. Those were some of his better moments, which…
Lessons for Leaders: Generosity
By Wayne Pederson I’m trying to be a more generous person. It’s a challenge for me because we grew up dirt poor. We had to be extremely careful with how we spent our money.

A Story of Stewardship Optimization
By Kent R. Wilson, PhD Jesus tells a story in Luke 13:6-9 that is as modern as it is ancient. It is a parable about an unfruitful fig tree that contains valuable information about resource management, making hard decisions, and steward leadership. An owner sees a fig tree in his orchard that has never produced…
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…
A Kingdom Path Perspective: Encouraging Major Gifts
By Gary G. Hoag, Ph.D. Years ago I attended a training session on “securing major gifts” for the ministry I served. The seminar shared tips for getting large gifts, and the presenters testified that if I followed their advice, I would reach my funding goals. The instructors said things like “it’s all about relationships” and…
