I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about working in my strengths. Like many of you, I have many strengths that pertain to the tech world. For me, the two at the top are 1) being a good troubleshooter, and 2) being a people person/ people encourager. Both of these have served me well…
Lately, it seems that the idea that Christians should never judge is being bandied about quite frequently. Unless you have been living under a rock (then again, has anyone ever actually lived under a rock???), you probably have heard about a little controversy surrounding a guy named Phil Robertson.

Working with your leaders to accomplish the vision they have set forth. To help them understand the strengths and challenges from the boots on the ground point of view. WHAT LEADING UP IS NOT: It is not MANAGING UP. It is also not being a yes man/woman. Taking the opportunely to gain points or being…

Scenario 1: An unemployed worship pastor confided in me recently. He had just candidated with a church and it seemed like a perfect fit.
