I was having a conversation with a friend of mine yesterday who plays guitar for another friend who travels and leads worship all over the US. Among other things, we discussed how difficult it is to go from from one crowd worshippers you practically have to calm down between songs...
S.O.S stands for Standard Operating Securities (which is really supposed to be like Standard Operating Protocal but I thought the whole S.O.S. thing was more fun). This is a set of three questions that have to be asked before either party should commit to try and work together.
Can You Be...
Anybody can take a list of to-dos and knock them out overtime. But once that list has run its course, you’re going to just need a new list. Knowing what to do is completely necessary but it will eventually lead to the “now what” road block. Skills sort of work...
There are several conferences, classes, books, etc., etc., etc., available for church leaders looking to start fresh or add momentum. But as we all know, reading a book or sitting through a conference can only go so far in being applied to the reality of your church’s situation.

Knowing exactly what kind of meeting you are walking into, being prepared for whatever the expectations are, getting through as much of the agenda as possible in the time alloted, and...
I want you to understand what I’m talking about when I say leadership development in the church should be discipleship development. If you pour into someone and that person becomes a great leader, wonderful. But all you have is a great leader. You pour into someone and that person becomes...
I’ve caught a little flack for my last post on comparing leadership development to disicipleship.
so…I went back and read it and will spend some more time trying to clarify what I tried to say in a fairly rushed post.
it males sense in my head and heart. I’ll just...
