It’s almost Christmastime. Wow, has this year flown by!

Christmastime always gives me pause. I find this time of year is an excellent time to reflect on what’s come and what is to come.

I want to talk about Christmas. There’s so much to unpack with Christmas, especially if you’re a Christian.

There’s also a lot to learn about leadership through the Christmas story…

3 Ways To Nurture Your Soul

The world of work will quickly drain your soul if you’re not careful. Having to make complex business decisions, the sketchiness of some organizations, and the constant battle for balance can have your soul in turmoil.

Because of this, our spiritual life often looks anemic. There’s not a lot of thought put into what we’re feeding our souls. We may even completely forget to take in Biblical content.

Before we know it we’re feeling drained and disconnected from God. There’s good news; you can find spiritual nourishment in multiple places. I want to help you top up on your soul and keep it filled in this article.

10 Things To Be Thankful For This Year

The holiday season always makes me reflect. Holidays bring about thoughts of family, friends, work, and life in general. There’s always something to reflect upon.

This Thanksgiving holiday is no different. We’re one day away from spending time with family, friends, or alone. Ouch, if you’re in that last category.

Yet, we all must regularly reflect, even more so around the major holiday. When we reflect, we are able to see what’s important to us, how we’ve spent our days, and more.

Today, I want to reflect upon gratitude. There are so many things that we can choose to be grateful for. We only have to decide to do so.

10 Things To Be Thankful For This Year

You’re a leader. You’re in charge! Right?!?

Wrong…

We may be given authority over some areas of our lives, but there’s someone else who is in control. I fully believe God is in control.

I hope you do too.

Today, these 10 verses are here to remind you of who is in charge. And it’s not you. It’s someone who has your best interest and those you lead’s best interest in mind.

What Should A Christian Leader Desire?

I was recently gifted a book by the worship and connection pastor, Bobby Hill, at our church. The book’s title is A Tale Of Three Kings: A Study In Brokenness by Gene Edwards.

The title won’t catch your attention—the content of A Tale Of Three Kings will.

The book is short; the copy I have clocks in at a whopping 101 pages. It’s short. It’s easy to read. It isn’t easy to digest.

A Tale Of Three Kings is geared toward the Christian leader. This is a leader who proclaims Christ to be Lord of their lives. If you’re not a Christian, you may disagree with Edwards’ thoughts. Heck, if you are a Christian, the ideas laid out by Edwards are hard to digest.

One thought struck me as incredibly profound. On page 78, Edwards wrote:  Read more...
