Most days I have more questions than I have answers. I’m learning that leadership is not about having all the answers. It’s more about asking the right questions. The trajectory of our leadership and the impact of our influence is contingent upon the type of questions we’re asking. The types of questions you’re asking are […]
Ahhhh, Catalyst Conference. It feels like home to me. These are my people – passionate, committed leaders willing to push the envelope, ask the tough questions, worship with abandon, debate and discuss, commune and connect.

The loss of someone dear creates a sense of desperation, a longing that is never fulfilled. We’ve been in a series at Cross Point called […]
