Let’s fast forward to today… The Red Sox are in 1st place in their division. So what happened that caused this drastic change?

Live from New York, it’s…Leadership Development!
I’m a fan of Saturday Night Live. The old Saturday Night Live. You know, with Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, John Belushi, Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers, Adam Sandler and a host of other funny comedians.

Because they’re doing all the work alone. There’s so much pressure to grow. So much pressure to take everything to the next level that Pastors are left with the burden of “making it happen” all by themselves. It’s why we need to follow the “Jethro Principle” found in Exodus 18. You know, where Jethro tells Moses to delegate responsibility and train leaders who can lead “thousands, hundreds, fifties … Read More

One of my favorite books is “Moneyball” by Michael Lewis. It’s about how the Oakland A’s consistently make it into the post-season, yet they spend a fraction of the cost that a team like the Yankees spend. They recently made a movie about it starring Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, the General Manager of the A’s, who is the mastermind behind the team’s success. So what’s the secret to the team’s success and what does it have to do with church leadership? The A’s found that investing in their farm system allowed them to be competitive and it kept their … Read More
