Posted on by

Christmas is right around the corner.  I love this time of year.  It truly is the “Most Wonderful Time of the Year!” On the other hand, the real reason we celebrate Christmas can get lost in the hustle and bustle to get the best gifts and have the best decorated Christmas Tree. Our focus can […]

Leading effectively without a title

Posted on by

Certainly, leadership is not solely determined by one’s position or title. Leadership can be demonstrated at various levels and in different ways, regardless of whether you hold the “top dog” position. I would guess that 80% of the ministry that I have done has been without a title.  Yet at the same time I know […]

Helping Christian Kids Navigate Gender Identity.
