Yesterday evening I received an email from Dr. John Maxwell titled “Your Word Today is ASK” ith a link to a value-packed short video. That title grabbed my attention because I know as a leadership coach the importance of asking good questions. After watching Dr. Maxwell’s short video, I was inspired to order the Kindle […]

Many years ago, while contemplating full time missionary service, I read that the famous evangelist, Paul Rader, was once asked: “Why are the laborers always so few?” He replied: “They can’t seem to be broken fast enough! God can only use broken men and women!”
Sunday Inspiration: Crucial Conversations

On August 14-15, 2014, I had the privilege of attending the 20th annual Global Leadership Summit with my brother and his wife in Maryland. This was sponsored by Willow Creek Association.

Anytime God is about to do something amazing in our lives, He calls us to consecrate ourselves to Him. That pattern was established right before the Israelites crossed the Jordan River and conquered the Promised Land. Our fundamental problem is we try to do God’s job for Him.

A day late, but not a dollar short. I had planned to send my Sunday Inspiration yesterday, but somehow never seemed to muster enough inspiration. Because of my recent hip replacement on June 9, time sitting at my desk is limited. Plus, I had done a lot of physical therapy in the past few days […]

Last week, Richard and Melanie Kos completed my 8-week “I Was Busy, Now I’m Not” coaching program. Today I had a private Master’s Mind Coaching (MMC) session with both of them.

When I was lying in bed earlier this week, I saw a vision of a huge funnel with the different pieces of my life being drawn into that. As the pieces fell to the bottom, they turned into water and out of the bottom of the funnel came a steady stream of living water. It’s […]

During the weekly webinar for The Champions Club on April 28, Vic Johnson taught about Pareto’s Principle, also known as the 80-20 rule or the law of the vital few. This states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. For example, 80% of your profits come from […]
