Will vs Skill

When it comes to developing student leaders (or leaders in general), What’s more important: willingness or skill?

Increasing Awareness

wes — Thu, 12 Mar 2020 14:09:24 +0000

I’ve enjoyed getting to work with a new group of student leaders over the past couple of months, and I’ve been sharing my thoughts as I go along. Last week I mentioned missing having a shared language (not in those words, but that’s the idea). So, I’ve slowly been trying ...

I generally rival elephants when it comes to my memory. Is that right? Do elephants have an incredible capability for memory? Okay, well, honestly, I generally forget most things. But there’s one Sunday in high school I still remember. I went to a small church in a small town. The ...

I saw a youth ministry related facebook post the other day asking how the collective hive mind selects student leaders. I think this is an extremely legitimate question, but one that needs a quick reframing. Let me start by zooming out. The bottom line when it comes to leadership development ...

Leadership & Relationship

wes — Thu, 11 Jul 2019 13:46:33 +0000

This morning I found a journal that was given to me almost 17 years ago. In it were notes written from youth group members of my home church. The words were encouraging, hopeful (stay in touch!), and affirming, even 17 years later. As I was reading their words, I was ...

On Tuesday I posted about watching as two airport fire trucks doused a plane as it was pulling up to a terminal. If you missed it, click here to go check it out. Now, the rest of the story. Contrary to my worries, the plane was fine. In fact, it ...
