Michael Hyatt deals with the two postures towards change that leaders can take.
Shrink the church has a great post on why you need to underprogram your church. I am starting to think that the reason our churches do so much stuff, which creates silos and burns people out, is because of laziness in leadership.
Vince Parker has a great (and simple!) model for leadership development.
Carlos Whittaker is hosting a very interesting conversation on his blog about people’s church activity (or inactivity). It is interesting for me to read people’s thoughts on this kind of thing, and see it discussed without judgement. There is something huge to learn from conversations like this… I just need to figure out what it is.
The new American suburb. How is your church preparing to serve these kinds of communities?
Ron Edmondson encouraging church leaders: Don’t Quit!
More Michael Hyatt goodness: The world’s first leadership consultant on delegation. What Jethro taught Moses. A great reminder to do what only you can do… AND he uses a picture from Air Force Football!
Incentivizing teacher pay… an interesting concept, I would love to hear the thoughts of my teacher friends on this kind of thinking.
Great idea to get fresh foods to those neighborhoods not served by grocery stores. Would love to see a local church partner with a program like this (Oh, the possibilities!).
The lost art of concentration. We are killing ourselves by trying to multitask. Where was I?
Jeff Elkins is beginning a conversation on church and culture over on his blog… You ought to check it out.
Joel Rainey concludes a very fair treatment of the Great Commission Resurgance. I appreciate his heart in this, and would love to see some of what he is suggesting come to pass.
Matt Chandler has had quite the journey, and it is a difficult one to fully process. This is an example of why we need to be teaching our churches about suffering.
Seth Godin continues to impress me as one of our best thinkers. He has been asking a lot of questions that should be forcing people to rethink normal.
