Jesus employed the best kept leadership secret, but he practiced it out in the open. I'm saying it's a secret, but you won't be surprised by it... but, you BETTER be impressed with it! It is quite impressive.
Jesus was who he said he was, the Son of God, and God the Son. He led with impeccable precision and unwavering aplomb. His secret is something we can work on in our own leadership, and the better we get at modeling Jesus' way of leadership, the better leaders we will be! Enjoy my friend! This was recorded for you with a deep passion and conviction that what YOU do matters... a great deal! Thank you for being a pastor to your people!

What do you get paid to do?
What is a WIN for you at your church and in your ministry? What do you want to be true at the end of a month of work, or a quarter, or a year? Do you get paid to put in hours, or produce outcomes?

Hi Pastor! My kids are 34, 32, 29, and 24 - that's 119 parenting years my wife and I have shared in together! The other day I started to think about What is true about parenting relationships that stand the test of time?

We hear it all the time - What's your why? If you lose your why you'll lose your way. Begin with the why in mind.
Then I was sitting at my desk and looked down and say the book by Simon Sinek, START WITH WHY. And I thought, yeah, I know my why. I know why I am a pastor, and why I think the way I do about church, people, and ministry. Do you? What drives you? What's your why? Jeff challenges pastors today, but also significantly affirms them too! Enjoy! 
Jeff talks about the distinction between devotions and message prep. In the past he did not draw a huge distinction, and in fact encouraged combining them - but today he takes a little different direction. Enjoy!
7/9/2022 0 Comments Weekend Edition 14 - A Rare Glimpse Into One Pastor's Inner World with Lee Eclov
Lee is a Pastor to pastors. Retired after more than 40 years of ministry, he is uncharacteristically open and transparent about his ministry years, his strengths and weaknesses, his victories and mistakes.
You will find yourself realizing... "I'm not alone, or unusual! Lee has struggles just like I have." You can connect with Lee personally at LeeEclov.com, where you can find all things Lee! This was a pleasure to record and to edit - to listen again to wisdom from years of ministry, and reflect on my own ministry journey in light of Lee's stories. There you go my friend, just another great resource and support for you at LeeEclov.com - and, you're welcome! :-) 
As we end this week's topic of PRIORITIES, Jeff thinks out loud about "How we prioritize the wise input of others into our lives?" Do we tap into the wisdom and knowledge of others, or are we the only ones filling our own tanks?
If we don't access the wisdom and understanding of others, the reservoir of our knowledge is going to dry up rather quickly! We must make it a priority to receive from others, and to put ourselves in a position where we can receive wisdom, knowledge, information, inspiration, and insight from them. Jeff unpacks all these thoughts and questions... enjoy! |
