I have begun reading through the book of Nehemiah and just keeping a list of all the leadership principles I come across. I cannot believe a church planter has not written a book yet about all the principles in Nehemiah that apply to ministry and church planting. These leadership nuggets though apply to all fields [...]

“So where are you guys at?” is a question I feel is being asked of us a lot lately as we have become more open about church planting. At times I’m tempted to hang my head, almost ashamed, as I have to confess to others that we are not that far in or we do [...]

Here’s the rest of my list of thoughts on prayer: Pray according to God’s will. Instead of praying aimless laser tag prayers where I am randomly trying to hit and miss with my request, let my prayer be asking God what His will is in this situation. Ask Him to bring to mind truth or [...]

I have a pretty good collection of quotes and ideas on my computer titled “thoughts on prayer”. Most of these are not my thoughts or original ideas. They come from many sources and some I’m not even sure where I got them but every once in a while I scroll through them as a reminder. [...]
