Several months ago, Leadership Network and Catalyst did an online event called “The Nines” where they asked 70+ leaders to make a quick video focusing on one message they had for other leaders. I felt the pressure to perform and planned up a fancy talk that would wow and amaze the thousands watching. However, something happened when I woke up to tape my talk. It was this gut feeling that I should just roll out of bed and talk about ...

The other day, I was having a conversation with a very wise woman. She is both wise in her faith and wise in her years – a mother, a grandparent, and a spiritual shepherd of many women. We were talking about church attendance, and people new to the faith, and people familiar and strong in the faith, and sheep and shepherds. I started thinking about the words I have heard so many say, “I’m not being fed,” and the defensive,...

There are very smart people who can debate both sides of major theological issues well, and if they can’t agree, chances are we won’...

My “theme” for 2009 was “Listen More, Talk Less.” For this year, it’s “We Are Not Alone.” Sometimes, I fail at living up to my theme’s implications, but it’s something I try and keep in the forefront of my mind when I make decisions about my career in writing and with my relationships. Since this is the first post of 2010, I’d like to combine the themes and ask you two quick questions. I...

After reading through my Google Reader this week, it appears writing about your ten most clicked on posts for the year is the smart blogger thing to do. Anyway, I thought I’d see what my top ten blog posts were of 2009 and interestingly enough, a trend emerged. Here they are: 10. This video I did on porn addiction. 9.
