4 Truths about Excellence
Excellence rarely just “happens.” Maybe it never happens by chance, but I'll allow for the chance in some instances. Even in sports that have a level of randomness to them (i.e. there's a ball involved that can bounce a certain way), we connect excellence to having a right mindset, good genetics, and well-practiced performance. We […]

6 Essential Ways You Can Build Trust
Turn your attention almost ANYWHERE and you'll eventually encounter people talking about building trust. It's an essential quality in relationships, business, marriage, consulting, and even social media. Not much gets done without it.

Where do Christians Go?
This past summer, Kelly I went on a cruise for the first time as a couple. Kel had cruised once before, but this year we went with three other couples and we loved every minute of it. We're planning another one for the future, which I wish was this week (given the snow/cold around here). […]

Recipe for Starbucks Chai Tea Latte
Wintertime always renews my love for tea, so I always make this knock-off recipe of Starbucks' famed Chai Tea Latte. At the same time, it's well-known that regular the Chai Tea at Starbucks is LOADED with sugar. So, this homemade recipe not only allows me to have great chai tea, just like what we can get at Starbucks, at a fraction of the cost, but it allows me to significantly reduce the sugar intake, something important to me as I try to maintain a respectable diet.

The Top 6 Motivations that Explain why Leaders Go into Christian Ministry
After 30+ years of serving in the youth ministry space, I've always been taken by the wonderfully (and uniquely!) gifted men and women who take full-time jobs leading youth ministries. There really are few jobs that require such a diverse gift mix from people in their 20s (and older!). Underpaid for their talent-level and yet […]

My New Favorite Question to Ask Anyone
Later this fall I am leading a session on curiosity at the National Youth Workers Convention in Memphis, TN. Sparking interest and curiosity in young people is integral to the work of a children's worker, youth pastor, or teacher. I mentioned in my book, The Self-Aware Leader, that curiosity is an important trait for leaders to possess. […]

It's been really special to watch my latest book, The Self-Aware Leader, be so helpful to so many people. Thank you to all who've helped spread the word and to recommend it to others. I keep receiving comments that usually take one of two tracks. First, I get a note that reads, “At first, I didn't want […]
