Dennis Fletcher How to Let Go of Your Worries
Chronic worry is something you choose, but so is courage. Every day I am choosing to put my trust in the Almighty a little bit more. Make sure you are aiming at the right things, the things Jesus would want you running after.

Do You Overestimate Your Ability as a Leader?
How accurately do you estimate your ability as a leader? Do you think too highly of yourself, not highly enough, or about right? The Scriptures teach that we are inherently prone to both self-deception and pride. It’s critical for leaders to guard their lives and not assume that failure only happens to “other, weaker” leaders.

Jesus Loves Me, He Loves Me Not
God really loves me! Really, He does. When was the last time you contemplated that truth?

Jumpstart on Online Academic Programs?
God has wired us with intrinsic power to explore new avenues and to venture out, trusting Him who alone is omniscient and omnipresent.

Find Joy in Everything
I realized at the funeral that I need to change my perspective. As the Bible clearly commands: “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say rejoice” (Phil 4:4).

Caring for Your Soul in Times of Change
Water is essential to life, and in some areas of the world, humans must dig deep wells to keep water readily available. In the midst of organizational change, we desperately need to draw on our spiritual resources. How easily we do this may depend on our spiritual habits – our rhythms of life. How deep have we dug our spiritual wells?

Practicing Gentleness in a World of Hostility
Gentleness is something that must be cultivated. The Holy Spirit must work in our hearts to soften them and mold them into Christ’s image. A leader is someone who, honestly, is willing to swallow his or her pride and do what is hard because no one else will.

Brandon Cox
Nothing I Suffer Surprises God
Trusting God means believing that even if the worst happens, God will be sufficient. Replacing “what if” with “even if” is one of the most liberating exchanges we can make. We trade our irrational fears of an uncertain future for the loving assurance of an unchanging God.
