Little Droplets of Grace
The gifts of the Spirit make many leaders nervous. They seem controversial, and they get tied to strange behavior and hype. But the word the New Testament uses for them, charismata, comes from the word for grace. The gifts aren’t meant to divide us. They’re small portions of God’s grace, given so...

Drop the Rope
Power is caught in a cultural tug-of-war. Some people chase it for selfish ends and harm others along the way. Others, seeing that damage, want to get rid of power entirely. Leaders have plenty of choices about power, but getting rid of it isn’t one of them. In Scripture, power is a good gift....

Just Don’t Be Weird
Many leaders keep the Holy Spirit at a distance because they’ve seen what passes for “Spirit-filled”: strange prophecies, self-congratulatory hype, churches they were embarrassed to invite friends to. They don’t want to be weird, and they don’t want to hurt people. That’s a fair concern. But the...

It’s Good That I Go Away
When we think of the Father or the Son, something concrete comes to mind: a creator, a parent, a carpenter we could picture working down the street. When we think of the Spirit, many of us draw a blank. We worry about excesses, we’re unsure what spiritual gifts are, and so we quietly lead without...

Who Do I Think I Am?
Sooner or later, every leader asks the question: Who do I think I am? Who am I to think I can do real good, or change my part of the world for the better? The world is smaller than ever, but its problems are huge and stubborn. When we face them, whether it’s a justice issue or a hard situation in...

The Fork in the Road
Every leader keeps coming back to the same fork in the road: Will I lead for the crowd, or for an audience of one? The issues change and the names change, but the choice stays the same. Crowds are loud and immediate. God is often hidden and gentle. Without intentional practices, God can be…

Who Are You Performing For?
Most leadership happens where people can see it: the decisions, the meetings, the results. Being visible isn’t the problem. The problem is what happens inside us when we need people to notice before we can keep going. Jesus said no one can serve two masters, and wanting to be recognized is one of...

To Whom Do I Belong?
Most leaders already know the right answer. We preach that Jesus is Lord, and we admire Paul’s single-mindedness. But knowing doesn’t automatically change how we act. Our audiences are loud, persistent and immediate. They’re in our faces before we’ve finished our morning coffee, and they follow…

Who Is Your Primary Audience?
Every leader plays to more than one audience: a board, a staff, donors, a congregation, critics on social media. All of them are watching, and all of them have opinions. If you’re honest, there’s probably at least one audience whose disapproval you fear, and that fear is quietly shaping your...

The Most Important Question to Answer Before You Lead
Every leader has a “Sunday afternoon”: the recurring moment when you feel most exposed to judgment, knocked around by flattery and criticism. For a pastor, it’s after the sermon. For you, it might be walking out of a board meeting or replaying a hard conversation on the drive home. You might have...
