People rarely remember your busiest season. They remember your most faithful one. Activity fades. Faithfulness lasts.

If you spend all your time looking for things to be offended by, you’re going to spend most of your life feeling offended. Fortunately, you don’t have to do that. You can choose how you see the world. You can choose to look past minor things and see the good. Choose wisely.

Looking for advice: Claude vs ChatGPT vs Grok? Any recommendations for someone who is mainly looking for help with misc project analysis and copy editing? Been using Chat mostly, but hearing I need to switch.

Hot take: Pastors, the goal of your ministry isn’t to build a platform among other pastors, but is to faithfully proclaim the Gospel to your community and shepherd the flock God has given you.

Spurgeon was once asked why his ministry was so fruitful. He responded, "Because my people pray for me." Pray for your pastor.

Pastor Appreciation Month: What pastors really need

For those congregants looking to give their pastors something they will really value, think about how you can encourage them in the ministry

A lesson I wish I learned earlier: You can get pretty damn far in life by just doing what you say you’re going to do. Be someone people can count on to show up and do the work. Reliability is the cheat code. Stop overcomplicating success. Show up, do the work, repeat. That’s it.

Saying “I’m just not good with people” is an excuse. If you’re leading humans, relationship skills are part of the job. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to care enough to grow.

People won’t remember your title. They’ll remember how they felt when they worked for you.

The best preachers love the gospel more than they love preaching.

Opened ChatGPT. Prompt: “Now that you can remember everything I’ve ever typed here, point out my top five blind spots.” Mind. Blown.

Leader, when you walk into a room - or show up on a Caller ID - does the stress level of your team go up or down?

If you're only surrounded by people who affirm you, you'll be deceived. If you're only surrounded by people who critique you, you'll despair. Surround yourself with people who love you, but are not impressed by you.

It's not complicated. Healthy leaders develop healthy teams. Unhealthy leaders create unhealthy teams.

True wisdom isn’t just about what you can do—it’s about knowing when it’s wiser not to.
