We Are One with Christ

As healthy leaders, as we believe and live by faith and not sight, we progressively become who we already are … in Christ.

Nick Franks

Jesus models for us a letting go of control, earthly power, and reputation. He empties Himself at the cross, trusting in the goodness and love of the Father. God intends that we follow the same path. Yet, in situations both the large and small, we find this incredibly difficult. Why?

Listening to God at Work

A lot of people are very fearful of trying to bring discernment into management decisions. But our own intellect may not be enough in making decisions.

Are You a Grateful Leader?

The big deal Jesus made about gratefulness in the one leper (and the lack thereof in the nine), points to the high value He places on a grateful heart. I believe leaders above all should evidence a grateful heart. Evaluate your level of gratefulness against these three gratefulness indicators.
