Leading effectively without a title

Posted on by

Certainly, leadership is not solely determined by one’s position or title. Leadership can be demonstrated at various levels and in different ways, regardless of whether you hold the “top dog” position.

My secret to teaching kids…

Posted on by

I find that most people that teach in children’s ministry will sell kids short.  What I mean is, they think kids are limited in their understanding of spiritual things. Some people have accused me of “going over kid’s heads” when I preach to kids. I don’t have any problem with criticism, as it comes with […]
