Today I am featuring a guest post from my friend Greg Darley. Greg is a young go-getter. A few years ago he started BackStage Leadership, a coaching network that let’s you get behind-the-scenes with some of today’s most influential church leaders. This month he is releasing his first book, Passion is Not Enough. Here’s a […]
My first Catalyst experience was at Catalyst One Day in the spring of 2009. I obviously enjoyed it, as I have now been to 3 of their other events. Below is a post I wrote about that experience, “Making An Investment in Myself.” Last Thursday, I attended Catalyst One Day with some folks from Cross […]
Did you attend Catalyst last month? And come home feeling all warm, fuzzy and inspired? But quickly stash away your swag bag and your notes? Only to get immersed back into life as usual? Or did something (finances, obligations, lack of vacation time) keep you at home? So you watched the seeminglingly-never-ending twitter feed and […]
Really? Just for a minute? Painfully honest? As much as I loved Catalyst… I kind of hated it. You see, I was sick. And I was tired. I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. For three days people (speakers, friends, and practical strangers) poured into me. They spoke wisdom. They spoke truth. They spoke […]
First off, let me apologize for completely disappearing for the last week or so. It was never my intention to be away so long. But man, Catalyst came with a big ‘ol bang and stole every ounce of my energy. Okay, that’s enough of that… Last week I was in Atlanta, Georgia, for the Catalyst […]
Two weeks from tomorrow I will head to Atlanta for Catalyst East. Love. It. Seriously, I can’t wait. I can’t wait to caravan down with friends. I can’t wait to be inspired. I can’t wait to hear some of today’s best speakers talk about issues that are relevant to me, my church, my leadership, and […]
Have you ever wanted to go behind the scenes with today’s top Christian leaders? I know that I have. Now we can. For those of us who are looking for ways to grow in our knowledge and application of leadership, the smart-young-go-getter Greg Darley created Backstage Leadership. It’s a year-long program where we can go deeper with […]
Today I’m guest posting over on the Catalyst blog. They talk mostly about leadership. And the church. And personal development. It is one of my favorite resources. But when they asked me to share something I was stumped. I quickly realized I am more comfortable talking about all the things I don’t know, instead of […]
Have you ever met someone who was a brilliant storyteller? Someone who at the mere mention of “once upon a time” transported you into an epic adventure? Someone who introduced characters so real that you couldn’t help but imagine yourself walking in their shoes? I have. And when I am in the presence of a […]
I apologize for this brief interruption to the previously scheduled programming. I just had to get something off my chest. There are very few things I am fanatical about. I guess I am just not wired that way. I appreciate most things in a more sedate way. But over the last year I have found one […]
