How one handles disappointment is a good indicator of emotional maturity. There are several ways that I have handled disappointment over the years. 1) Its their fault – Blaming people for not capturing your intentions is the first reaction that I think we go to when something doesn’t work.

Lesson On Leadership
Pretty great analysis: Leadership is courageous, but being the first follower is even more courageous.
The Pastor’s Job
I read this today in John 21: 15When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16He said to him a second time, “Simon,Continue reading “The Pastor’s Job”
I concur
Perry Noble is doing a list of church leaders that he’d like to meet and today he mentioned Matt Chandler. Here’s Perry’s reasoning. Chandler is the man, I really dig his preaching style and his passion for the word is contagious. If you are not listening to the Village Church podcast . . . doContinue reading “I concur”
All Week Worship
Read this this morning from the worship trench: Our coporate worship encounters with God will rarely get further than the private, personal worship of our congregants (and especially leaders!). Many times I have seen Worship Pastors spend every ounce of energy on designing and fostering corporate worship only to be frustrated with the “results.” PerhapsContinue reading “All Week Worship”
Some Blog Thoughts
Los is back with a great post here. of particular note is #4. I wonder if modern day Christian leaders are more concerned about becoming famous than becoming Jesus?

Great Presenters
Great post from Seth Godin on what makes a great presenter. Bottom line if you don’t love your audience, you’ll never be great.

Perry Noble, Mark Driscoll, Rob Bell, Erwin McManus, Rick Warren . . .Continue reading “Great Presenters”

The Bible still challenges me, and it should.
If I’m being totally honest, when I read the Bible I get really messed up with what I think, today I was reading in Matthew 23 and Jesus said this: 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, 3so practice and observe whatever they tell you— but not what they do. For theyContinue reading “The Bible still challenges me, and it should.”
Wisdom from Tim Keller
This is from Tim Keller from Redeemer, from the Innovation3 conference You have got to go after God for blessing. Jacob (from Genesis) spent his life trying to get blessing, but he did not get it until he went after God in Genesis 32. Human blessing will kill you because it never seems to lastContinue reading “Wisdom from Tim Keller”
