Why I post these devotions

Summarize with ChatGPT

I had planned for years to write a regular blog. Everyone else was doing it, why not me?

My answer was that I was too busy doing other stuff. But after decades of lots of "other stuff," in January 2024 I decided that because of the unpredictability and shortness of life, if I'm planning to do something, I'd better get started now.

The motivation behind this updated philosophy was a big life change I'd recently experienced. My wife had suddenly passed away a few months earlier.

I thought writing about my passion for biblical leadership every week would help counteract some of my grief. It's definitely done that.

For a while I've been running a website called BiblicalLeadership.com, which offers free content and a newsletter for leaders. In addition, I manage the Biblical Leadership Principles group on LinkedIn.

I continue to write books on Christian leadership as well. (Amazon author pg.)

Thank you to so many of you for encouraging me as I've written these posts!

Keeping on,
