Character … You can’t buy it, earn a degree in it, and you can’t borrow it, but you can develop it. Without it, few will follow you, at least not for long.

Character itself, like a heartbeat, can’t be seen, but it can be felt, and you know when it’s working well or skipping a beat. In this respect, the absence of character is devasting.

The outcomes of character can be seen. I wrote a post describing seven practical indicators of good leadership character, and you can read it here.

It’s easy to miss the heart of Easter personally because we’re so busy getting ready to tell everyone else about it.

What will you ask of God in 2019?

It’s almost an unimaginable gift we have as Christian leaders to be able to ask God himself to lend His presence and power to our leadership and ministry. Yet it’s true.

Don’t waste the privilege of prayer, it’s your most powerful resource as a leader.

This invitation and opportunity to pray can be overwhelming. The needs are so many, from vision and dreams to hope and healing.
