    10 Questions with Leader Dave Ferguson – Community Christian Church

    By Christians, Church, Church Planting, Interviews, Leadership

    Dave Ferguson is a pastor and mentor to hundreds of church planters around the globe, including me. His church, Community Christian Church, is a pioneer in the multi-site movement. Dave is an influencer, a teacher, and a visionary leader. I appreciate his responsiveness to those of us that desire to learn from him. I also appreciate his commitment to his family. The one meeting I had schedule with him had to be canceled because of a school program for one of his children. I admired that in him. He has befriended my son in Chicago. I previously wrote about that HERE.

    Addressing Major Problems in Marriage

    By Encouragement, Family, Marriage

    I realize when I give this advice some immediately rebel against it, because they fear their marriage will be pushed over the edge if they address the problem. When there is a severe crippling problem in a marriage that goes unchallenged, however, one spouse will suffer in more areas of life than just the marriage. (If this is your situation, you already know that to be true.) The problems in the marriage will affect the person’s health, job performance, and entire well-being, not to mention the marriage will never be all God intends it to be.

    Trying To Understand The Ways of God

    By Devotional, Encouragement, Faith, Fear, God

    Have you ever had something in your life that you just couldn’t figure out? I know I have. There have been some situations, which have occurred to me personally or people I love that left me asking God “why”. I have witnessed friends go through trials that seemed at the time beyond God’s repair (they really weren’t) and I kept wondering how God could possibly “work all things for good”.

    You Are Never Too Old To Learn Something New

    By Change, Leadership

    One of my pet peeves as a leader has been for people to refuse to try something new or fail to follow through on a project, giving up before it’s completed, because they think they do not feel they know how to do the task. I encounter far too many people that want responsibility or leadership assignments, but they are not willing to invest the time and energy it takes to learn the requirements of the task.

    10 Questions With Leader Jenni Catron – Crosspoint Church

    By Church, Church Planting, Interviews, Leadership

    I consider Jenni Catron a friend and ministry partner. Jenni serves as the Executive Director at Crosspoint Church in Nashville. The church’s proximity to our church helps me learn from their success. Jenni is a hard-working, genuine leader. I love the transparency she shares through her blog and the intentionality she brings to her ministry. I am fully convinced that much of the success of Crosspoint is due to Jenni’s leadership. You can follow Jenni on Twitter also.

    7 Things Your Wife Is Not

    By Family, Marriage

    Many men are relationally challenged. It’s not that we don’t want to have great marriages, but we are often weak when it comes to knowing how to build them. Often the problem is that we have the wrong ideas about the role each of us is to play in the marriage and it affects how we treat them. Men, see if any of these fit for how you’ve been relating to your wife.

    Will Wal Mart Always Be Number One In Retail?

    By Business, Change, Leadership

    I remember in my undergraduate studies a professor of marketing say that no one could ever replace Sears as the number one retailer. Of course, looking back, that was a naïve comment. It’s easy to assume that Wal Mart will continue their dominance of the retail world, but recently, due to the economy, they have experience greater competition from the discounters and the higher end retailers. What will their future be? Still not certain, consider THIS ARTICLE I read this week.

    Ted Talks: Paul Romer’s radical idea: Charter cities

    By Business, Change, Culture, Innovation, Leadership, Vision

    This video blows my mind. I love big dreams…I love mind-stretching exercises…this one helps me think bigger than I might normally think. It’s 18 minutes long, but it’s worth watching. Whether you agree with this line of thinking or solution to global problems is not the issue here, but feel free to share them. I’m sharing this because I love how big Paul Romer is thinking.
