I’ve noticed something in the church leadership “genre” that seems to be overlooked. Maybe you’ve noticed it too… Lots of books on how to be a better leader, but very few on how to develop and train leaders within your church. It’s like there’s a group of “Church Leadership Illuminati” that are keeping this info… Continue reading A Leadership Conspiracy Theory

I attended a conference this year and one of the speakers was waxing wise about leadership development and discipleship. It sounded pretty good until someone asked him a question about his experience implementing these ideas. The dude turned white as a ghost. That’s when we all found out the news.

If you’re anything like me, you drove home from your Easter services and thought, “How can we keep this momentum going?” Here’s 3 ways you… Continue reading Keep the Easter Momentum Going
