The One-Minute Prayer of a Steward Leader

Meaningful time with God can be found in the Sabbath moments that punctuate our day – if we are willing to look for them and treat them in that way. How do we best consecrate these islands of solace in our seas of tumult? I suggest we have ready a one-minute prayer.

A Leader’s Greatest Challenge

Understanding the number one reason why Christian leaders struggle and fail.

We Can Only Imagine

How would you respond if you saw Jesus face-to-face?

Navigating the Wave of Need

How do you set priorities in the face of overwhelming requests for help?

Open Your Eyes and Be Ready

This is a choice we are presented with every day. Will we see people in the static moment, through the lens of our own agenda, or will we consider their journey and what this moment of intersection with ours might really mean to them, and to us?

A World at War – Are You Prepared to Lead?

We must not deny or ignore the fact that if we are followers of Jesus Christ living in this world, we are engaged daily in a great spiritual battle.

What it Means to Be a Leader of No Reputation

Are you leading in a way that ensures the safekeeping of your own reputation? Are you willing to give it up completely in order to follow Jesus regardless of the cost?

Who Are You?

God is more concerned with who we are, and who we are becoming in Him, than the work we produce each day.

The Importance of Defining Success in Kingdom Terms

How you measure success in this life will dictate the way you live and the legacy you will leave.

The Crucial Difference Between Producing and Bearing Fruit

Have you become so busy trying to change the world for Christ that you have no time for Christ to change you?

Leaders: What Do You Fear Today?

We are called to be one kingdom people, which means cultivating a holy, reverent fear of God.

Dear Leaders: Sell Everything – Really!

What is your response to Jesus’ invitation to embrace the kingdom of heaven and follow Him?

How to Avoid Becoming a Miserable Success

It is possible to be a successful leader in the eyes of our organization and a failure in the eyes of God.

Leading Abundantly

Fall follows Summer, which follows Spring and time marches on just as God designed. He limited time for us in set hours in a day, and set days in a week. We think there are not enough hours in a day, but God knew before He created time how mankind would use it. Scott discusses some poignant points about time management, and notes that [...]

Want to Live a More Meaningful Life? – Stop Doing These Three Things

I want to challenge Christ followers to make unequivocal commitments to stop doing three things that rob us of the full life God created us to live.

The Weapon of Fellowship

Two-by-two provides protection. It provides another set of eyes to watch and ears to listen, to be on the alert for the enemy. It allows also for one to rest while the other is on watch. This keeps both in the battle. Two-by-two provides a system of accountability. By laboring together one can help the other stay on the narrow road.

The Weapon of Wisdom

Wisdom sends the enemy fleeing. It is God’s gift-in-waiting. All we need to do is ask for it, seek after it and expect God to provide it. What will you do today to accept this gift?

The Weapon of a Clear Conscience

How is your conscience? Is it clear or conflicted? Is it Holy Spirit guided or weak … even seared?

The Weapon of Generosity

The life we are offered as a disciple of Jesus Christ is the life of the steward. As stewards, we are set free by three transformational truths: God owns everything, God will always provide for all our needs, and the greatest blessings come to those who give.

The Weapon of Forgiveness

If we want a different story to begin to unfold for us today, then we must understand two very important truths about our life with Christ. In this battle God secured the final victory, and God provides everything we need for daily victory.
