Exchanging Pride for Humility
By Jenni Catron Personally I think Peter gets a bad rap. Many of us are too quick to judge Peter, who is famously remembered for denying Jesus three times. Our self-righteousness gets the better of us, and whether we admit it or not, we’re tempted to believe that in his shoes, we never would have…
Steward Leaders are Influencers
By Howard Rich When a person exerts consistent and continuous influence in another person’s life or the lives of a group, that person is a leader. When a parent helps a child decide what courses to take during her freshman year of college, that parent is demonstrating leadership. When a young man challenges his friend’s moral…
Leadership: What Christian Women Need to Know
By Halee Gray Scott Ph.D. Christian women have been shamed into a corner. Many have bought the lie that they are the second sex—they do not matter and they are not gifted, at least not in the ways that matter most.

Ministries Don’t Need Money! By Dr. Gary G. Hoag
Now that I have your attention allow me to explain my statement. The New Testament presents at least three things ministries (groups of Christ-followers working together on mission) need, and money is not one of them. 1. Ministries need leaders who are free of the love of money and full of the love of God…
Are You Listening? By Dr. Henry Cloud
“You won’t believe what happened today,” a leadership conference attendee said at the dinner gathering. “What?” I asked. “After your talk today about trust being built through connecting with another person’s reality, I had a breakthrough,” he said. “Really? What happened?” I asked. “Well, for the last year, I have been stuck in a logjam…
The Power of Photos By Larry Johnston
I’ve got a confession to make. I love words. And language fascinates me. That won’t come as any surprise to those who know me. It was no doubt one of the reasons I was a foreign language major as an undergrad. But as someone who has been involved in fundraising for 40 years, I know…
