Leadership is hard. There are days when we don’t feel like motivating or inspiring anyone, because we feel tired and discouraged ourselves. Before we can be effective at developing those we lead, we may need to overcome setbacks and challenges that fuel our doubts and insecurities.
A lot of pastors think online preaching doesn’t matter that much. They’re focused on getting real people into their real churches — not some cyber-campus in the Metaverse. But here’s what many pastors don’t realize: online sermons are their church’s welcome center.
In today’s Christianity, we like to recognize and celebrate the goodness of God. God truly is good. But God also is great. The greatness of God is awesome, but it can be intimidating and even frightening. In fact, God's greatness is so overpowering that it makes Him unapproachable. Thankfully, God provided a solution.
Trauma is shockingly common among men, but most of us don't recognize it in our own lives, and this can create tremendous drag on our efforts to lead well.
When Jesus explained the parable of the sower, he didn’t explain why the sower in the parable throws the seed everywhere rather than just on the good soil.
You've heard the parable of the prodigal son before. Probably lots of times. Everyone loves the story. Right? Jesus's audience didn't. They hated it. It made them angry. Find out why.
Writer and consultant Aaron Renn helps us understand the significance of self-mastery in the life of a man. As men who are grounded in Christ, we have no need for fear or vitriol. By mastering self-control and integrity, we can be a stabilizing influence in our culture, both online and in the real world.
We’re supposed to rejoice in our sufferings? Seriously? That’s absurd. When we experience suffering or see someone else suffering, we want the suffering to end. Now.
Jesus's parable about foolish and wise builders highlights the fact that water can be a destructive force. In September 2022, Hurricane Ian demonstrated that across southwest Florida. But Jesus wasn't giving advice on home construction. He was talking about life . . . and about God.
Business networking can be intimidating. In his new book, Great People Know Great People, Alex Giannetti equips readers to improve their networking skills.
In Matthew 20, Jesus tells a parable that compares the kingdom of heaven to workers in a vineyard. This is a parable that may make you frustrated and even angry. If the kingdom of God is like this, then how is the kingdom of God fair?
What's the key to effective personal evangelism? According to former illusionist Brock Gill, it's finding an affinity -- finding common ground -- and using that to build relationships.
Conventional wisdom for entrepreneurs is to start with a business plan. Often, God has his own plan. Rick Avon, the founder and owner of Avon Design Group in Pittsburgh, PA, didn't start with a business plan. Instead, he started and has built his company by following the lead of the Holy Spirit.
As Jesus demonstrated, when we’re tempted, we need to rely on God and God's Word. But we also can turn to something that Jesus didn’t have when he was all alone in the wilderness: the support and help of a Christian brother. For an example of that, host Chris Bolinger turns to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
He leads men's ministry at the main campus of one of the biggest churches in the U.S. But for Ronnie Cordrey, it's not about the numbers -- it's about creating a culture of discipleship and disciple-making that reaches and grows men, one at a time.
God has blessed you with certain gifts. When you make the most of those gifts, and you use them to serve others, you honor God. And God honors you in return.
What if you had to lead a team after being dropped in behind enemy lines? While he was a Navy Seal, Charles Crouch learned to do just that. As you hear his story, you'll be reminded that all of us are operating behind enemy lines.
Why do you pray? Really? It may be for the same reasons that Rocky prays in host Chris Bolinger's favorite Rocky film.
Some Christians posit that fear and anxiety are sinful, evidence of a lack of trust in God. Others consider that viewpoint an oversimplification that can lead to destructive denial, guilt, and shame. The Bible, they say, offers compassion and answers, not condemnation. Join Chris Bolinger as he explores healthy ways to overcome fear and anxiety.
Join us as Ron shares insights from his new book, Life Lessons from the Little Red Wagon. Leave behind the ordinary and glide into the richly meaningful life you were intended to live.
