Success starts at your front door!
It starts at the beginning. It starts at the front door. Not a virtual front portal, but the actual steel and glass front door. Jase was filled with both anticipation and a bit of anxiety.

One of my direct reports had come to me for advice on how to solve a problem he was facing. His options were several—all with good and bad consequences. Which one should he choose? As I listened, I was having a conversation with myself.One of my direct reports had come to me for advice on how to solve a problem he was facing.

Why it’s important for your nonprofit!
In the spirit of awards season, if there was an “Exceptionally Obvious Statement of the Year” award, a worthy contender would be: “Too many important kingdom nonprofits aren’t growing.” This seems to have been the case for some time, hasn’t it?In the spirit of awards season, if there was an “Exceptionally Obvious Statement of the Year” award, a worthy contender would be: “Too many important kingdom nonprofits aren’t growing.” This seems to have been the case for some time, hasn’t it?

Stewarding Stuff
A catalyst for transforming a leader’s soul
One the most powerful tools to transform a leader’s soul, organization and constituency is how that leader handles the stuff he or she is entrusted to steward. It is no accident that God’s Word has more verses on our use of possessions...One the most powerful tools to transform a leader’s soul, organization and constituency is how that leader handles the stuff he or she is entrusted to steward.

Leadership lessons from King Hezekiah
One of the most transformative journeys for any Christian leader is learning to navigate well the relationship between faith and action. One leader who did so in a key moment of crisis was King Hezekiah of Judah.One of the most transformative journeys for any Christian leader is learning to navigate well the relationship between faith and action.

Doing the hard work of self-discovery
As a leader it can be hard to tell ourselves the truth, or even know the truth, about ourselves. But it is incumbent upon a leader to do the hard work of self-discovery, and not to let our position become the reason for insulation from the truth.As a leader it can be hard to tell ourselves the truth, or even know the truth, about ourselves.

Our faith is the foundation
Faith is not for the faint of heart. Like many cradle Christians, I had a well-defined identity in Christian spaces. I could slip in and out of it without a thought. It was adaptive camouflage. It was code switching.Faith is not for the faint of heart. Like many cradle Christians, I had a well-defined identity in Christian spaces. I could slip in and out of it without a thought.
