Leadership Grows

Our own personal leadership should always be growing and evolving. On Tuesday I made the statement that we are not who we are today without who we were yesterday. I promise that’s not my attempt at philosophy. Do you ever find yourself being content with where you are as a ...

The Redundancy of Leadership

wes — Tue, 19 Sep 2017 11:54:47 +0000

Do you know the hardest part of writing a blog? The consistency of having to write another post. It comes up three times each week, like clockwork. Ministry is the same. Sunday is always right around the bend (or Wednesday for many youth ministers). Farming was the same. No matter ...

I had a humbling experience last week. One of my peers in youth ministry, who has been a big supporter of my blog to this point, posted a picture of his computer screen. What made it humbling was the side of his monitor where he had written the 3 questions ...
