When You Want the Ball: Lessons in Leadership

One of my biggest lessons in leadership happened many years ago while watching a basketball game on TV with my husband.

If they hit it, they’d win, if they missed it, … [Read more...] about When You Want the Ball: Lessons in Leadership

5 Career Self-Care Practices for Christian Professionals

We spend at least 30% of our lives at work. On average, that’s 900,000 hours over a lifetime. That’s a lot of hours.

Finding your Calling: When the Answer is the Question

If I had to guess, I’d say that maybe 20% of people have always had a pretty clear idea of God’s call on their life. These are the people who knew from a young age that God had called them to serve through…say…teaching. As kids, they taught their stuffed animals, forced their siblings to play school, and sent their pets to the principal’s office.

One day it hits you. Why is no one suggesting you apply for the open position? Or, why isn't your boss asking you to head up a new project or join a committee?
