Something that I hear a lot, especially from younger people is that they aren’t a leader yet because they don’t have the title or position that they assume goes with the responsibility of leadership. I remember feeling this way myself. I can remember saying things like “when I get to lead, I will…”, “when I’m […]
Andy Andrews has quickly become one of my favorite story-tellers. The Noticer was the first book of his that I got my hands on. In the midst of enjoying a story that sucks you in until you finish the book, I found myself deeply challenged. Rarely does fiction have that power, but it does when […]
The first presidential election I can remember was the 1984 race (or lack thereof) between Reagan/Bush and Mondale/Ferraro. I didn’t really understand politics and what the candidates stood for, but I vividly remember being intrigued by the presence of a female among the candidates.

What does it cost us when half the church’s gifts go untapped? I’ve been wrestling with this question quite a lot lately. Conversations are stirring in the church world about our inability to engage the 21st century female. “I don’t know where I fit in the church.” “I feel like I don’t belong because I’m […]

“The test of your leadership is not what happens when you’re there, but what happens when you’re NOT there.” Ken Blanchard I read this quote this morning on Twitter and it’s the perfect description of the tension I feel every Sunday.
