Leadership in Ministry: Passing on to others, Removing Barriers
Leadership is not always about making things happen. Sometimes its getting yourself or obstructions out of the way of what already is happening. Leadership is also about investing in people to reproduce ministry, not just get things done.
Here is a 60 second or so video with more thoughts on this…

When God Dreams: Next Generation Leaders Conference in Redding, CA
On October 21-22 Redding, California young leaders converge for a uniquely grass roots-driven conference: When God Dreams.“When God Dreams is a conference for leaders, pastors, church planters and visionaries who are serious about living God’s dreams with courage.”
I spent several years ministering in Redding and have watched Nathan Edwardson, pastor of The Stirring, passionately reach and grow people with creative vision and humility. He is one of the speakers for this conference which also includes Jesus Culture leader Banning Liebscher and Jason Ostrander, the National Director of Youth Ministries for the Christian and Missionary Alliance.
If you can make it to Redding, do not miss out!
Video: 3 year old shares the “Gospel Fuzzies”
My son was three years old when this video was shot. His preschool Sunday school class taught him how to tell others how to follow Jesus. It’s amazing how much a child can understand when it comes to spiritual matters. Many kids will be eternally grateful for having people teach them this well. Thanks to all of you who serve in your local church with kids! The investment in kids is the best investment you can make.
My favorite spot to think is a waterfall hike…what’s yours?
One of my favorite thinking spots is this waterfall hike I used to frequent near Redding, CA. The mile straight uphill was always worth the climb to the cool falls and stream. Contemplation is important, indeed. I am still looking for a new thinking spot since this photo was taken so maybe you can help me out with some ideas.
What’s your favorite place to go to think?
