Get 1% Better every day
If you're anything like me, then the chances are that you've had your fair share of struggles as a leader. These obstacles can be frustrating but in reality, aren't so much an issue to overcome rather than the everyday bumps in our careers and personal lives; this is what I write about on my blog.

The Preacher & The Atheist
The Preacher & The Atheist Trevor (not his actual name) says that he is "currently" an atheist. However, he says "he is open to the possibility that he may learn something that will change his mind." Trevor and I currently work out together and he calls me the...
Imitate At Your Own Risk
Recently I read an article in Outreach magazine and the feature was an interview with Erwin McManus, pastor of Mosaic in Los Angeles, CA. He said something so profound that literally stopped me in my tracks. He said, "I think a lot of pastors have a dream that...
