Leading around the Potholes- Thoughts on Stewardship Leadership

Last week I shared what I believe are some potholes of stewardship. Today, I would like to offer some reflection about how leadership plays a role in navigating, responding to, and overcoming these potholes. Let me put a few assumptions out there before I begin. My understanding of a leader, is that they lead and guide with the values, mission, and vision of their congregation … Continue reading Leading around the Potholes- Thoughts on Stewardship Leadership

Thoughts about Mentoring

The other day I asked some friends what they would be interested in reading about on my blog. One of the ideas that seemed to get the most traction was mentoring.

Thoughts and Questions on this “World Water Day”

The theme and potential doomsday catastrophe of the second Daniel Craig “James Bond” film, “Quantum of Solace,” had everything to do with water.  Particularly, it focused on the challenges, need, and resource (scarcity/potential scarcity) of water.  Its kind of scary to think about how the next great conflict or war could well be fought over water rights and usage.  But when you take a step … Continue reading Thoughts and Questions on this “World Water Day”
