by Grady King – I am sad, concerned and humbled. In recent months, five ministers I know have succumbed to some form of sexual sin. The sin is often a symptom of long lived and deep rooted issues. From what I know, all but one has sought counsel and reconciliation with their spouse. They […]

by Grady King – Getting stuck as a church leader or as a leader group is frustrating and exhausting. And no matter what we say to the church, they know we are stuck. They feel it, experience it and yearn for things to be different. Over time, a stuck leadership will drain the energy of a […]

by Amanda Box I’ve observed over the last 25 years that scapegoats are really popular. When I was growing up television was the major evil, blamed for all sorts of unhealthy human behaviors.

by Grady King – It’s my life to be helpful to leaders and churches. It’s both blessing and burden. Prayerful, humble listening, observing, and analyzing goes with the territory.
