I was talking to a friend the other day about a project that I was leading and how I was questioning whether I needed to continue with it or not. I explained to her that I just wasn’t very passionate about it and maybe this just isn’t something I’m supposed to be doing (aka “God’s […]

Whew! This week got a little away from me. We had our annual staff trip Wed & Thur. What a blast! Our team loves to spend time together… what a gift! Cornhole A little relaxation in the rocking chairs Some arts and crafts time The beauty of autumn A little friendly competition with a game […]
I’m resisting the quiet. My world is buzzing with busyness. I’m consumed by “to do” lists that never end… personal and professional. I welcome it. I actually tend to thrive in a world of busy. However, I get the nagging feeling that I need to be quiet. I need to be still. But I’m dodging […]

And so the recruiting sharks tend to swim in the same pool of a handful of hot, influential churches. For many years we were the unknown church and we pretty […]
I’ve mentioned that my husband and I recently moved. Moving always reminds me of a couple of important things: I have too much stuff. I never want to move again! The crazy part of this move is that we chose to move into a house that had been in foreclosure and is in desperate need […]
Everyone is preoccupied. As a church leader I approach Sunday as if it’s the priority if everyone’s week. It’s “game day” for those of us who get to do this for full-time employment and so it’s natural that Sunday feels like a big deal. My life on the weekend even revolves around being ready for […]
If leadership is in your blood, it’s what you aspire to… it’s what you’re gifted for… it’s your calling… It’s likely that you pride yourself in growing to new levels of leadership. You look for opportunities to grow. You dream of more influence. You seek out greater leadership opportunities. You thrive in being challenged. Leadership […]
