Keeping the Faith | When Leaders Need Encouragement

by

Earlier this week, a member of our team was approached with an amusing question. Her younger son asked why we celebrate Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and even Grandparent’s Day … but not “Kid’s Day” in America. Not wanting to sound bitter or patronizing, she simply replied that every day is a day to celebrate awesome […]

Momentum Motivates

Too much to do, too little time. Sound familiar?  For most leaders, end of year can be a stressful time.

Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that […]

3 Ways to Show Vision Through Hospitality

Jesus gave credit where credit was due for Mary’s focus on the importance of time spent with our Savior.  I’ve considered, however, from time to time, the number of people who give the Marthas of the world a bad name.

What We Can Learn From Jesus + Einstein “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”  This quote from Albert Einstein resonated with me earlier this week, and has encouraged the advice I share with you today.  Whether through parables or five alphanumeric symbols, e = mc2, great men know it […]

Leading Through Storytelling

by

That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. And great crowds gathered about Him, so that He got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach. And He told them many things in parables… Matthew 13:1-3 In countless ways, Jesus was and continues […]
