A Blitz & Summit Re-Cap

Just a quick blitz & Summit re-cap of the past week. 1.  Attended “Strip Church” meeting.  Forming a partnership to reach what has seemed to be the un-reachable. 2. Had our men’s champions group do another communication challenge.  They gave speeches, infomercials, and had to recite the Gettysburg address.  We videoed them all, and then [...]

Communication Challenge

One of the key components of effective leadership is communication.  If you can’t communicate, you can’t lead!!!  Now, I’m not just talking getting up in front of people and giving a speech, because effective communication is so much more than speech giving.  It’s listening, body language, etc…., but if you can learn to at least [...]

Abraham Lincoln Proclamation

I read this the other day & was so moved by it, I felt it was necessary to post. By the President of the United States of America. A Proclamation. Whereas, the Senate of the United States, devoutly recognizing the Supreme Authority and just Government of Almighty God, in all the affairs of men and [...]

Million Leaders Mandate

A few years ago I began a partnership with a leadership organization out of Atlanta, GA, called “Equip” who’s founder & CEO is John C. Maxwell. If you’re a student of leadership you’ve probably read a few of his books. Equips purpose is to equip Christian leaders internationally, and since 2003, over 3,000,000 people have [...]

Face To Face

Monday night Epic Champions (Our mentoring initiative for men), gathered at my home. We covered the book “Celebration of Discipline” by Richard Foster. A must read on every-ones book list! Once you read the book in its entirety, I would suggest the following year, taking a chapter a month & spending some time digesting it [...]

Title or Testimony

I taught a lesson to the men last weekend on the 5 levels of leadership. I will share those levels in a later post, but wanted to share a quick thought I gave the guys over the weekend. The piece I share with you, deals with the first level, and that is the level of [...]

Mentoring Launch 2009

When a vision moves to action, it ceases to be a dream, and moves to reality.  That is exactly what happened this past weekend in UT.  We launched our men’s 2009 mentoring initiative, and it was great.  Never launch a year of mentoring without retreating first, it sets the pace & foundation for the rest [...]

Leadership Poem

I have just a few minutes before leaving AZ, and wanted to post a leadership poem that Mike Chapman wrote following many events that occurred in Brian Head, UT this past weekend.  Mike also has his children’s book debut this weekend at Epic.  I will post that later, but wanted you to read his poem. [...]

Dr. John C. Maxwell

I just arrived back from a 3 day summit with Dr. Maxwell. I’m sure you know who he is? Maybe you’ve read a few of his books? His specialty is Leadership, but just because you read his books doesn’t make you a great, or even a good leader. Trust me, I know! It sure doesn’t [...]

Leadership Summit

Every year Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, ILL, led by Sr. Pastor, Bill Hybel’s, hosts a what is called a “Leadership Summit.  Every year, my passion for the local church is rekindled through vision, and stories that leaders from around the world share.  I think this is my 7th year for attending on [...]
