4 Areas for Balance in Christian Leadership

It always comes back to balance, doesn't it? So why don't more Christian leaders practice balance BEFORE it's too late? Why do we possess a pattern of waiting until AFTER a crash to confess having denied seeing the warning signals? What if you and I are in not seeing the waning signals in our lives NOW?

I posted two articles to my former blog, which was later hacked and ransacked. So, the articles are only accessible via Goodreads. Please indulge me and allow me […]

Shaping the Next Generation of Christian Teachers

A few years ago I walked into my college classroom toting three different books, all them large and heavy. As I waddled in, working to keep a book falling from my arms, I realized that all of them had copyrights that were at least ten years old. I put the books on the desk. Well, […]

How Moving to a New House Reminds us that We Don’t Know it All

I recently helped move my wife’s parents from one house to another. They were worried about the work involved in moving, but we gathered enough people there that it went very quickly. Perhaps record time? (I’m looking to the judges)  Fortunately, the move was just around the corner from one house to another, but we […]

9 Teaching Rules that Will Instantly Improve your Leadership

Everybody teaches - bosses, parents, coaches, pastors, CEO's, consultants, and supervisors. We try to help others learn better skills, processes, values, beliefs, or knowledge. Some do it better than others. Most treat teaching like it's easy, though. The good ones don't. They pay attention to the craft, think in advance about it, and sometimes even practice it. They are anything but apathetic toward being a better teacher.
