Nothing tells the tale on us more than the place we give to prayer, whether personally or in the worship services or at funerals or church services.Funeral prayer is one big example.

While working with a leader, I asked him to list all the things he could do, wanted to do, felt he should do, and felt others expected him to do. That’s a pretty long list. Then I asked him to filter the list through one question.

Spiritual practices are the ways that we connect with God and relate to God. But spiritual practices also do something else; they are how we become more present to God, others, and ourselves.

I try to be a leader of leaders. I love, welcome, and appreciate followers. But as much as possible, I want to lead people who are going to lead.

Staying productive is key to being a pastor. With the right tools and strategies, you can save time on communications and administrative work, accomplish your goals, and ultimately, do more to advance the Kingdom of God.
