Be one. Build many.
Unfortunately, leaders can talk too much, not necessarily by monopolizing conversations, but by giving too many answers. So, how do you know if you are a leader who talks too much and what can we do to stop?

You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.

For many leaders, our biggest challenge isn’t giving love and encouragement — it’s receiving them.
Adrian Pei
Leadership work is a performance and we are like the drums. If we are hard and unprepared we may break when the beating starts. To prepare us ‒ we go through the fire process. We are warmed up, stretched out and made ready for our beating. As the Bible says, we go through the refiner’s fire.

“Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven ‒ as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.” (Luke 7:47)

A pastor recently contacted me to ask if there was any hope for his church to survive. The few people in his church were aged, and the church was slowly but surely declining in numbers. My answer shocked him. I said there was great hope for him and his church ‒ because the Father was already at work in his town.

How do you deal with disappointment? Some of us hide it away. We deny its reality with fine words. But deep down we become numb.

We know healthy leadership requires good character, but how do we deal with those headstrong, sinful habits?

Transformation is radical change. To transform means to change in the way that a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, or a tadpole into a frog, or a baby into a child and then into an adult. After the process is completed, it is as if the older form ceases to exist.

City walls helped create a shared identity amongst a people. They provided security – a safe environment to work together productively. But some of the churches and NGOs I work with sadly remind me of Jerusalem’s city walls in the time of Nehemiah. The organisation’s walls are broken down by internal conflict, mistrust and fear.

Everybody faces conflict. Wise leaders, however, know how to manage conflict when it comes. Four good questions arise from Acts 15 for how to face conflict.

Paul’s letters are incredible examples of how to build leaders.
Brent Hoover
Wise leaders and pastors understand that lasting change requires individuals to change first before an organization will change. Your change won’t last or will disrupt your church unless those in your teams personally embrace the change first, at least at some level. So it behooves us to first understand why most people initially resist [...]
