What We Need Every Day By Doug Thorson
As Christ followers we have been rescued from living a selfish and aimless life of sin and been reconciled to God as Father for the enjoyment of His great love and Kingdom purposes. This rescue came through the death of Christ, on the cross, for our sins that we might no longer live for ourselves…
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…
Good to Great: Harnessing the Power of Diversity and Team-building By Dr. Halee Scott
The world’s oldest story is a story of leadership. The Epic of Gilgamesh, written in 18th century B.C., recounts the leadership journey of Gilgamesh from a corrupt leader to a leader who better governed his people. From the beginning, it seems that humankind has been concerned with bad leaders, good leaders, and what good leaders…

4 Things I Learned About Starting A Nonprofit By Cameron Doolittle
As a recovering consultant, my question when hired as the new president and CEO of Jill’s House was, “Where can I see best practices?” Our chairman answered, “Well, there’s really nothing else like this.” And our doors were supposed to open in six months! I learned quickly that new ministries are not like new businesses.…
Shattering the Glass Ceiling By Dr. Halee Scott
Sammie had worked for the company for ten years before she hit the “glass ceiling”. With her strong commitment to God and her irreproachable work ethic, she’d garnered the respect of the entire company—from the warehouse stockmen straight to the CEO. Sammie started in the call center, fielding calls from donors, but was gradually entrusted…
3 Gifts from God By Dr. Gary G. Hoag
It was probably the worst scenario for my wife, Jenni, to find out that she had breast cancer. It was January 19, 2011 and she was alone. I was in England fulfilling my PhD residency requirement. Sammy and Sophie, our two teenagers, were at school. She got a phone call. It was the doctor saying…
Perfection By Romney Ruder
Perfection. It is interesting how this word has been used over time. Commentators use the word to describe Kevin Durant’s basketball jump shot. Jewelers use the term to help drive up the price of precious gems. Even weather forecasters refer to the looming storm systems with this word. It seems that, in our world, we…
