If you’ve been to my blog you have ready many times about my affection for Catalyst. The conferences and speakers have truly enhanced the ministry God has charged me with. To my surpise, last night I find that there is a blog post written about a ministry we do here at the USF BCM called [ READ MORE ]

Why the Old Spice guy marketing campaign is effective

I love the Old Spice guy commercials! They crack me up and are absolutely hysterical. As I was in the BCM taking a shower after a rigorous game of racquetball with Jason I noticed two containers of Old Spice shower gel. The marketing campaign is working…why? Could it be because both me and women love this guy? Men – he is [ READ MORE ]

Leadership is based on relationships

Leaders often fall or rise based on the strength and vitality of their relationships. That is the quote in the devo book I am giving to all my leaders to read during the summer: I3: Devotions for Leadership & Life. As I was reading it this morning I noticed that many times, as a leader/director, I use people instead [ READ MORE ]

How God uses leaders in the church

I was so BUMMED that I didn’t get to go to Catalyst West this year (or ever!). However, I did follow it on Twitter and kind of felt like I was there. One of the things that most caught my eye was that Mark Driscoll had his notes on the Resurgence website even before he [ READ MORE ]

We meet weekly for one-on-one time where we talk about their Timothy (the person they are discipling) and who they are investing in. We also are going through Ephesians together. In order to do this we [ READ MORE ]

Are you an enabler?

I am going through Ephesians with the guys I am discipling on leadership and came across this passage (Ephesians 4:11-18). I’ve always said that my desire (and job) is to work myself out of a job. These verses confirm what I’ve said all along (yes, I know Mcfly! The Bible has been around a lot [ READ MORE ]

When expectations are exceeded…the world changes

This past month we did a series called “Get Uncomfortable.” I spoke about social justices going on around the world for purpose of creating awareness and how God is working through them. We talked about how meeting a need required Christ to be involved, otherwise we are just making others comfortable for a season. We [ READ MORE ]
