Lesson on Leadership: Vision-casting Matters
When a leader says “None of” or “nobody” wants to follow their vision? That’s a red flag for me. What are you asking them to follow? Is the vision written and plain so folks can run or are you just flying by the seat of your pants, lying on the Holy Ghost? Are the steps […]

The Pressure to Perform
I don’t know when it happened or how but… I found myself stuck like chuck a few months ago. Like, on complete and utter pause trying to figure out why I was so miserable, so tapped out. I wanted to tear my hair out! But the Lord is nothing if not merciful and kind, so […]

“give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Luke 6:38 KJV A friend of mine made a post on Facebook that incorporated this […]
