embrace boring

We don't love to talk about the grind. The walk. The reps. The discipline. Question: What's one repetitive task in developing the leaders around you that you must embrace this week even though it feels boring? The weekly coaching session. The honest feedback loop. Over and over and over. We call that ownership.

what if your first boss had a plan?

What if your first boss had a plan? What if you knew they had world class coaching for two years all about how to help you THRIVE? That sounds like a good idea. We think so too.

“Who’s the next you?” deserves an answer

Every leader in ministry eventually faces the same question: “Who’s the next you?” It’s a simple question — but it should stop us in our tracks because it demands an actual answer. Because if we don’t have a real answer, then we don’t have a name, and we might not have a plan.

this cultural moment

Church leaders across the country are scrambling to add services and expand ministry. I keep hearing stories of young adults sitting in the front row, bringing their friends, and being baptized together. Something is happening.
