Tim Tucker encourages the weary leader that we don't have to choose between waiting and working. Christian life and leadership is a harmonization of these two states of being: we wait and work; we work while waiting.
Did Jesus really mean what He said? That we would do greater things than Him? We long to see God’s name honored across the world. But how is this possible? Can we really expect to do greater things than the Lord Jesus Christ?
Not only did Nehemiah reject the privileges normally afforded to someone in his position, but he also used his personal resources to provide for his leadership team.
What kind of leadership do we need in the 21st century? Do you know the answer to this question?
Christlike leaders should strive to be Jesus-followers.
How do we keep our focus in a world where there are so many things vying for our attention?
I find one of my most frustrating attributes is how easily distractable I am. In trying to multi-task, I can compromise my effectiveness and run the risk of doing multiple things badly.

For so many leaders, our identity is wrapped up in our work and activity. We find our value and sense of worth in the work of leadership. The danger in this is that there is a very fine line between working for God out of love for him and working for God to earn his approval.
I believe we are called to lead with exponential impact that is disproportionate to our efforts. In fact, Scripture doesn’t use the language of success but of fruitfulness.
Perception is powerful! In particular, as Christian leaders, how we perceive what God is doing in the world will critically shape our approach to life and ministry.
