I’m finally back at the hotel after a very long, but great day at Catalyst. In case you are not familiar, Catalyst is a leadership conference designed for next generation church leaders. Over 12,000 of us are gathered in Atlanta for this two day, leadership powerhouse. I have more notes than I could possibly share, […]
We all like feedback. Even when we fear it’s not good. We generally want to know where we stand. I’m sure it’s no surprise that I was a studious kid. I wanted to achieve the best I possibly could, so as the teacher passed out graded assignments I eagerly awaited that circled letter at the […]
I don’t remember exactly when I became a fan. I just vividly remember thinking “this guy is BRILLIANT!” His perspective on taking your God-given uniquenesses and channeling those towards being the most effective, thriving, fulfilled person you can be resonated with me so deeply. And so, I have consumed every book he has written. I […]
For those of you in church leadership, I suspect you’re feeling the intensity of the busy fall season. I’ve only been in full time ministry a little over four years but it didn’t take long to realize that the fall is one of our “crazy busy seasons”. As everyone settles back into the routine of […]
Today’s post comes from friend and fellow leader Trisha Davis. Thoughts and insights on leading from the Second Chair. I am so blessed and excited to be a guest writer on Jenni’s blog today! Jenni and I met 8 years ago when my husband Justin was on staff at the church she attended. We have […]
In less than 12 hours I fly out of the country on a ten day trip. And rather than being excited about getting away with my husband for a much needed vacation, I’m freakishly trying to make sure I’ve crossed all my t’s and dotted all my i’s. I’m sure the staff are about fed […]
We officially launched Cultivate Her Friday morning. It was such a great time gathering with nearly 40 women who were eager to connect and grow in their leadership gifts! In case you didn’t notice, I’ve created a Cultivate Her page where I’ll keep the latest info about our next event (which happens to be October […]
I’m excited to announce that one week from today I’m launching something that has been on my heart for years. I’ve shared with you before that I feel like God has called and gifted me to lead leaders, however I feel that he’s also given me a responsibility to specifically encourage, support and empower other […]
I’m pretty excited to be starting this book tonight! I got my advance copy this weekend and I’m excited to be blogging about it on September 8th when it releases. I don’t think this book could be any more timely… at least for me. This year has been riddled with fear for me. Fear of… […]
I’m a chick in church leadership. Yep, there I said it. Kinda stating the obvious I know, but I’ve been dragging my feet about really engaging this topic. I have such a passion for gender to not be the polarizing issue that it tends to be in the church and yet I’ve been afraid to […]
