I previously posted 10 Things I’d Do If Raising a Daughter Today. In this post, I will focus on the boys.
I know a little more about this subject, having two incredible sons of my own. But, we always look at life differently from the other side of it. My [...] Continue Reading…
I never had a daughter. I have a great daughter-in-law, and she has a special relationship with her dad, but I never got to raise a girl. I missed out, didn’t I?
But, I know a few grown girls. I’ve witnessed scars. All women have a scar of some kind. [...] Continue Reading…
In my years leading in business and churches, I have known many people who claim to be leaders, but they are actually nothing more than controllers of people. There is a huge difference in leading and controlling.
In fact, the differences are almost exact opposites:
Here are some characteristics of environments [...] Continue Reading…
When I’ve answered the same questions numerous times, I feel there may be a need for a post. Recently, I’ve spoken with a dozen or so church planters, or those wrestling the call, several each week, and the same issues come up every time. I want to share some [...] Continue Reading…
I speak with churches everyday who want to grow again, but nothing they do seems to work. Many say it’s a vision problem, but I disagree. The church may not be living it, but we have the clearest, best defined vision of anyone. (We are to make disciples.) The [...] Continue Reading…
Last summer I moved to Lexington, Kentucky. You can read about the ministry assignment HERE. What I want you to know in this post is that you should come visit where I’ve moved.

“Do not forget the Lord”
Deuteronomy 4:23, 6:12, are 8:11 as a few examples.
It made me think…

Or admit to forgetting the Lord…or our commitment to Him…
We would never, ever, forget our God, would we?
He’s our God…we love Him…
How could we forget [...] Continue Reading…
I have loved working with Catalyst over the last few years. Love what they are doing. Love how they are impacting the church by helping us think and lead bigger and better. Probably none of us realize the impact Catalyst has had on the Kingdom in the past decade [...] Continue Reading…
I recently completed a Bible study for Lifeway on addressing conflict within relationships. (Not that any of us would need such a thing. 
) Several other pastors are involved in this project, addressing other areas, but all in the newly designed Bible Studies for Life Series by Lifeway. [...] Continue Reading…
I’ve seen many leaders make this mistake. They believe in teams, so they create a bunch of them. They charge them with carrying out a mission…an assigned task…part of a great vision.
But, the team doesn’t work. Nothing gets accomplished. There is no forward movement.
Why? They had a great team.
But, [...] Continue Reading…
