The Biggest Trap In Christian Leadership

Youth Leader's Coach

The Biggest Trap In Christian Leadership

Is Jesus really #1 in your life?

I often hear youth pastors say to me... "If people really knew how infrequent and lame my own personal devotional life is, I would be kicked out of the ministry! (at least, I SHOULD be.)" ...OR... "NUMBERS seem the be the big deal to my pastor...and true intimacy with Christ is rarely (if ever) focused on from a leadership perspective. What gets rewarded at our church is numbers and platform performance." ...OR... "I often feel very FROZEN and distant from the Lord...but no one seems to notice or even care."

This is just one of the resources from our LEGACY called, "Are You A "Jesus And" Person?"

Jeanne's Most Significant Key To Spiritual Survival

Exodus

In a study of individuals in full-time ministry. They found that after 10 years, an average of only 2 out of 10 remain "in the trenches." But what's the "bottom line" reason for this tragic statistic? My answer is so simple that it is agonizingly easy to discount and gloss over: Few people in ministry leadership fight the necessary battles to PRIORITIZE CONSISTENCY in their own personal "quiet time." In this Leadership Coaching, I parallel our quiet time with Moses' tent of meeting. So grab a cup of coffee and listen in as I share 6 potential dangers from neglecting our tent of meeting, plus some ways to keep our quiet times fresh. I think the greatest thing that could ever happen from our long-distance coaching time together is the prioritizing of a CONSISTENT PERSONAL QUIET TIME in your life. This is one of the resources in the LEGACY called, "Stood Up Again."

Dealing With The Desert Times

Proverbs, Psalms, Isaiah, Hosea, Matthew

There are Godly purposes and responses to our desert times and in this mentoring resource, you'll discover them. For often times, the Lord speaks the loudest while in the desert. And, as long as we learn to listen with a different set of ears, the experience and growth can be profound. This is one of the resources in the LEGACY called, "Handling The Hurts Of Life."

Helping Others To Higher Ground

Maybe you saw it on TV too. It was an interview with a surviving mountain-climbing guide. He was guiding amateur climbers to the peak of Mount Everest and in one of those climbs, two of his fellow guides lost their lives. The interview gave powerful insights into how we can help others "go to the next level" in their climb up the Mountain of God. "Helping Others Go To Higher Ground" weaves together principles from the Word, from life, and from this interview. The focus of our time together answers one of ministry's greatest questions: "How do I help motivate the people in my ministry and my leaders to pursue continued spiritual and personal growth?" The guide's answer to one of the interviewer's closing questions makes this whole teaching worth listening to. The interviewer asked, "After seeing so vividly the dangers of leading a group of amateur climbers, I can't understand why you keep doing this." The guide paused and then said, "Obviously, you haven't been to the top." This is one of the resources in the LEGACY called, "Jesus: Social Media Follower Or Best Friend?"
