    ISIS: Where is a path to victory? Or even safety?

    November 17, 2015 / Comments Off on ISIS: Where is a path to victory? Or even safety?

    When bloody horror erupts on our TVs and phones we mourn with those who mourn. We pray for the gospel to “speed ahead and be honored” and for God to comfort all those who have suffered loss because of ISIS’s rampage through Paris.   We are also hard-wired from the factory to grasp for the “Why?”. In the West’s war with ISIS this much is certain: Like the Republicans and Democrats, we don’t even agree on what the issues are.   The secular West thinks ISIS is morally bankrupt because they subvert freedom. They murder and rape as an act of worship to Allah. They think the West is spiritually…

    Why Thinkers Should Feel More

    September 7, 2015 / Comments Off on Why Thinkers Should Feel More

    Are you a thinker or a feeler? If you’re a thinker like me, is growing into more of a feeler something you might want to be more intentional about? If you’re a feeler, how might you inspire a thinker to grow into more of a feeler? Or is that something we can change?   Before we go any further, what does it means to be a thinker? According to the   …you know you’re a thinker if, when it comes to decision making,…   …you make decisions with your head and want to be fair. …you like to find the basic truth or principle to be applied, regardless of the…

    You Are Emotionally Contagious: How you can infect others for good

    August 11, 2014 / 1 Comment

    We are sitting at Turner Field in Atlanta, watching the Braves take on the Washington Nationals. A batter steps up to the plate, a lanky left-hander, tightly circling his bat. Two nights earlier he hit two home runs out of four times at the plate. Atlanta’s best pitcher eyes him over the rim of his glove, then winds up and throws. The batter pops it up impossibly, third-deck high. We let out a whoop. And everyone around us turns and stares.    We are cheering for Adam LaRoche, son of one of my best friends and first baseman for Washington, surrounded by Brave fans who don’t take too kindly to…

    The Power of an Expert Speaking as a Fellow Traveler: Phillip Johnson

    June 30, 2014 / Comments Off on The Power of an Expert Speaking as a Fellow Traveler: Phillip Johnson

    When my husband Jack was in seminary he was taught to speak as the expert from a posture of strength. If you talk about weakness, struggle or failure, speak in hindsight from the place of victory won. It’s not always safe to talk about your weaknesses. You don’t want to give your detractors or enemies ammunition. (Especially in churches.)   In today's culture that mindset is changing. But, If you are an expert, why would you want to try to speak as a fellow-traveler? What might be the benefits of exposing your weaknesses, speaking of your struggles, or even failures? In the academy? In churches? Phillip Johnson, the father of…

    What Is Your Voice: Expert or Fellow-Traveler? 5 Tips to Communicate with More Influence

    June 16, 2014 / Comments Off on What Is Your Voice: Expert or Fellow-Traveler? 5 Tips to Communicate with More Influence

    Whether to friends and family or to an audience, whether consciously or unconsciously, we all assume a certain voice when we speak. Take this little test to find out if you are more of an expert or a fellow traveler… 1. Have you demonstrated mastery of a particular interest or passion? 2. Have you demonstrated over the long haul the ability to love well and have great relationships? Have you raised an outstanding family? 3. Have you demonstrated the power of the Holy Spirit in your life out of deep devotion to prayer and God’s Word, or in the crucible of suffering? 4. Have you demonstrated mastery of a profession…

    Empathy! Can we succeed in politics or ministry without it?

    September 23, 2012 / Comments Off on Empathy! Can we succeed in politics or ministry without it?

    The culture is changing. Fast. Modern to Postmodern. And so is the way we connect with people, whether in politics or ministry. If we want people to trust and follow Mitt, Barak or Jesus it's no longer sufficient, in most cases, to simply present information/truth claims. People. Want. Empathy. What does that mean and how do we deliver? 0

    Conan O’Brien, the trendy younger comic who replaced Jay Leno as host of the Tonight Show, has been unable to hold Leno’s audience. So NBC is moving Leno back to his original timeslot. It seems NBC is experiencing what many churches are experiencing: the challenge of pulling together the older and younger audiences. 0
