Simplified living is about more than doing less. It’s being who God called us to be, with a wholehearted, single-minded focus.

Many leadership problems are driven by low self-awareness.

Live each day with an open ear toward heaven, eager to respond to any whisper from God.

Your culture will only ever be as healthy as the senior leader wants it to be.

God led Jesus to a cross, not a crown, and yet that cross ultimately proved to be the gateway to freedom and forgiveness for every sinner in the world.

If you're living a yielded life, and if you have the preaching and teaching gift, and you're yielding that to God on a continual basis, that's one of the signs that you're in the right place doing the right thing for the right reasons. If you're doing something in the kingdom, and you rarely feel that, that's a red flag. Something needs to be looked at. Are you using the right gift? Are you using it in the right way? For the right reasons? At the right time? In the right context? If I didn't feel it consistently, that would be quite troubling to me.

Authentic Christianity is a supernatural walk with a living, dynamic, communicating God.
