How to Build a Bulletproof Culture
I believe that the leader of an organization must incessantly tinker with culture! This is not an area that can ever slip to the background of a leader’s mind.

An angry pastor’s thoughts on debt
95% of the pain and the heartache of being a pastor comes during the week in the form of counseling and crises. The other 5% comes before or after services on Sunday or mid-week. Don’t get me wrong; I wouldn’t spend my life doing anything else- even if God let me. Pastors also experience joys […]

Watching “Ranger TV” and can’t look away
I love watching Ranger TV! Don’t bother trying to find this channel on your local cable provider- it’s not available. Don’t think that you will be able to tune into this channel through satellite television- they don’t carry this channel.
