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.
Psst…Anybody want an iPhone?
I finally pulled the plug on it and decided to sell my iPhone. Now I am back to my Verizon wireless BlackBerry 8830 and boy am I happy – no ELATED!!! If you truly need the features of the BlackBerry, the iPhone won't replace the BlackBerry. I've had...
The Biggest Mistake of them all…
1. KEEPING PEOPLE PAST THEIR EXPIRATION DATE. I'm what you call an eternal optimist. My first instinct is to see the best in people and work to bring it out in the open. I've sent people to conferences, personally mentored them, invested time...
A "DEEP" Question regarding Heaven…
At Mars Hill, I often brag on our members because we have some of the most sincere people on this side of heaven. Additionally, they are some of the smartest people I've ever met. Often, I receive emails on various topics that get my attention. This...
2nd Dumbest Mistake…
2. PUTTING PROJECTS BEFORE PEOPLE. Ecclesiastes 7:18 says, "The man who fears God will avoid all extremes." This is one of those areas where we need to embrace the tension between relating with people and accomplishing the mission/getting the job done. ...
What an AWESOME Worship Experience Today!

3rd Dumbest Mistake…
3. TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM RATHER THAN THE PROCESS. A problem is an obstacle which makes it difficult to achieve a desired goal, objective or purpose. Furthermore, it refers to a situation, condition, or issue that is yet unresolved. In a broad sense, a...
4th Dumbest Mistake…
4. DELEGATING TASKS INSTEAD OF RESPONSIBILITY. In my humble opinion, the most overused and overrated buzzword in ministry today is “excellence.” As a pastor of a thriving urban church, I am committed to excellence in my life and the life of Mars Hill. Because of...
5th Dumbest Mistake…
5. ASSUMING THINGS ARE EITHER BLACK OR WHITE. According to Wikipedia, a grey area is a term for a border in-between two or more things that is unclearly defined, a border that is hard to define or even impossible to define, or a definition where the distinction...
6th Dumbest Mistake…
6. NOT FOLLOWING THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. The Spirit’s presence within us enables us to understand and interpret the Word. Jesus told His disciples “when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). He...
