How NOT to Listen to God – Part 1: Exceptionalism
In the eyes of God, we are special. So special that He allowed His one and only son to die for us. But just because we are special in the eyes of the Lord does not mean we should let it go to our heads, a lesson the people of Judah had to learn the hard way.
See A Need, Meet A Need
Every Christian leader wants to make a difference. But we always assume the only way to do that is to fly to the mission field, join a church staff or turn your home into a homeless shelter. There is nothing wrong with any of those choices if that’s what God is calling you to do, but what if making a difference was easier than that?
Revealing Leads to Healing
You would think that with the internet and social media there wouldn't be much else to hide about ourselves. But funny enough–there is.

But is it possible that by revealing these secrets we can actually start healing?

This has been hotly debated for decades, but I am about to give you the definitive answer as to which is best.

If you know me, you know that I love sports. While I’m a loyal fan of my teams, I’m also just a fan who enjoys any form of competition. But several years ago besides just watching I started reading books about the coaches, managers and organizations that make the games even happen. I found numerous nuggets of wisdom from coaches who have to manage egos, talent, expectations and, of course, criticism. Here is a list of my top 10 sports books that will make you a better leader.
Unicorn Moms
All moms want to be the Unicorn Mom. Unicorn Moms do everything and they do it perfectly. You know everything you've ever seen on Pinterest? They do all of it. Every meal is homemade from organic ingredients. Their house is immaculate and stylish. They probably have shiplap. But do you want to know what is most special about the Unicorn Mom? Well, just like the unicorn, the Unicorn Mom is make-believe.
Catholicism and Molestation
What is going on within the Catholic Church is not just a Catholic problem; it’s a Christian one. Here’s why.
5 Ways to NOT Be The Annoying Christian at Work
We’ve all had the moment where we want everyone to know about our church or our faith … but we feel that inner voice telling us, “Don’t be THAT guy." You know, that guy with the Bible verse for everything, or the woman that spontaneously prays out loud and freaks people out. How do you connect your friends to your faith?
5 Things for an Introvert to Do at a Party
