As Christian leaders in God’s house, I hope these seven essential priorities help you to make the improvements that are within your power to make. God knows, we need healthier, stronger, leaner, more flexible leaders who can stay the course! You can absolutely improve your health!

In our reshaping day and age of fluid culture, society and Church, what are the truest healthy signs of Christian leadership? At the epicenter of our Christian cultures today, what are the real, timeless essentials that we have to gather around? Are you confident that the culture you’re a part of today is truly biblical?

Ultimately, God has made us ‒ even as leaders ‒ to connect best with other specific people. We must wholeheartedly seek them out and refuse to settle for second best by sometimes saying “no” to certain people in order to say “yes” to others.

I am primarily called to be faithful not successful. Indeed, God isn’t looking for a perfect heart to make willing but a willing heart to make perfect!

Would you recall with me for a few minutes the powerful verses in the book of Proverbs that describe the awful human condition named by the Bible as idleness? For our good health, Solomon’s library of wisdom includes a very graphic set of word-pictures that relate to our personal work, rest and play: the slovenliness […]

Working from home can be amazing: no stress from commuting or rain-soaked work uniforms, plenty of money and precious time saved, and, let’s be honest, working in t-shirt and shorts is incredible. Suffice to say, working flexibly from home can be a massively positive aspect of your working life, not only for you but also […]

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. (1 Timothy 4:8) These words of the Apostle Paul to Timothy immediately tell us at least two things: Godliness is more important than exercise, influencing both now and eternity. […]

All of us reading this post at some point have probably had a church leader ask us, “How can I help you?” On face value it appears to be a great question which explains why it’s one that’s also so commonly used within church leadership or management strategy: it seems to be servant-hearted, empowering and […]

I’m currently seated at a work bench in Starbucks looking out onto one of the busiest streets in Scotland. It’s the beginning of another day and the footfall must be near to 1k for every single minute that passes. I can see Harris Tweed and denim, pyroclastic vape columns, queues outside bakeries and homeless guys […]

In his recent article Stop Telling People What To Do, Keith Webb has completely busted the common leadership myth that “your people just need to be told what to do ‒ they just need more info.” As leaders, if we allow it to be, even the title of this article is challenging for us because […]

For the sake of your wisdom and holiness, and of your future, would you join me for perhaps fifteen minutes in hanging out with three men in the Bible who were almost unbelievably stupid? I believe they are men who serve as powerful, mind-etching reminders for us all that we are also capable of a degree […]

“What’s Wrong With Me?” Do you ever ask yourself this question? With the sheer volume of broken-down dysfunction in our world, the apparent constancy of world-wide tragedy, atrocity and natural decline, it’s no wonder that, as leaders, we ask ourselves this question. In fact, as leaders, perhaps we actually ask ourselves this question [...]

Targeted and Under Fire As a Christian leader at any time in history, but perhaps particularly in the day and age in which we now live, you are under fire. Assuming you’ve been leading for more than five minutes, it follows that you’ll already be aware that the most elementary leadership meme you could ever […]

Imagine you’re sitting at home with your nearest and dearest, around a fire, eating some food, watching a movie. You’re trying to make the most of those few weirdly glorious days in between Christmas and New Year when everyone loses touch with the day of the week and the time of the day. What day […]
