- And We’re back! Thanks for bearing with me as I had to put Rookie Pastor on the back burner the past few days. We hosted our own youth retreat and in the aftermath I have two thoughts: 1. I get to work with awesome students and adults. 2. Hosting an event is immensely harder than letting someone else host it.
- Your ministry, your brand, your business is built on trust. Build it.
- Seth Godin with a humorous and realistic look at how people succeed.
- Don’t be the person who wants to be a writer, be a writer.
- Challies on the state of preaching.
- As a leader you need people around you. Understand who those people are and how they can help and how they can pull you down.
- Prospective church planters. Church planting critics and skeptics. The church planting naive. All of you need to read this.
- If you are distracted you were probably doing something good before. Go back to that.
- Ben Arment tells you (and me) to quit following so many people.
- In my mind I go from big event to big event. Whether it is ministry or life I don’t naturally think past the next big thing. Sunday afternoon the next big thing became the birth of my son. Here. We. Go.
- Will that be smartphone or non-smartphone seating?
- Humility. Hunger. Happiness. Rookie Pastors need all three.
- Took today off work and the plan is to turn it into a finish day. Too many projects sitting in purgatory, time to hit publish.
- We give small group stereotypes too much power.
- Only responding to critics doesn’t fix problems.
- Talking about “my legacy” means you have already lost.
- Any story that mentions Andy Stanley next to Lady Gaga you read.
