Leadership Coaching

Kingdom Style Promotion

Luke, 1 Peter, 1 Samuel, Psalms, Galatians

We all try to look and sound so humble in ministry. But the honest truth is that most of us deal with the internal desire to feel like we're succeeding...to feel like we're somehow being promoted. So that is what this Leadership Coaching deals with. "Kingdom Style Promotion" deals with a biblical look at how Christ promotes someone in His Kingdom...and how He DOESN'T. The principles have powerful implications in ministry and in our everyday lives.

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?"

When You Feel Like A Loser

Welcome to God's "Hall of Fame"! We can all feel like a loser more often than we care to admit. There's not one of us that doesn't go through seasons when we feel like our heads are getting kicked in. Whether it's because of fatigue, mind games, doubts, sin, or personal pain, I just wanted to remind you that this is completely normal. This is just one of the resources from our LEGACY called, "The Toughest Person To Forgive."

The Biggest Trap In Christian Leadership

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?"

Questions To Ask Before They Buy The Ring

This coaching resource deals with one of your most crucial roles in youth ministry, but probably one we haven't given a great deal of thought to. I've entitled it, "Questions To Ask Before They Buy The Ring." It's my way to help you avoid a high percentage of engagement disasters. In all honesty, most people put more reasoned thought into the choice of a car or a home than they do into their choice of a lifelong mate. So I share with you, ten simple questions that you can ask your seriously dating single adults before they "pop the big question." These simple ten questions will give invaluable specifics to help cut through the fantasy world of a "Cinderella romance." Happy listening! This teaching may someday save one of your students from a tragic mistake. So please take it seriously. This is just one of the resources from our LEGACY called, "Chew And Spit Romance."

Knowing How And When To Move On

Our society many times makes us restless, thinking we need to move on from our present circumstances simply because we've become bored or unsatisfied. If we're not careful, we'll never stay one place long enough to make hell nervous. However, there are times, when the Lord is calling us to move on. In this season of my life, I have had the honor to help walk some fine folks through times of transition. Sometimes the transitions were due to a new opportunity arising, being released, or truly a feeling moved on by the Holy Spirit. So along the way, there are a few different things I've learned that I want to share with you in this invaluable resource. In this Leadership Resource, "Knowing How and When To Move On," let me challenge some of your thoughts when it comes to how to walk through transition effectively. If there's one thing I've learned in my 50+ years in ministry, it's that if you are faithful to do the KNOWN will of God today, God will be faithful to reveal his UNKNOWN will tomorrow. This is just one of the resources from our LEGACY called, "De-Mystifying God's Will For Your Life."

Fighting The Dragons In Your Personal Life

Like it or not, we are all capable of falling spiritually. That's why this leadership mentoring is SO important. Taken in part from what I have observed through the years, and also from Wayde Goodall's book, Why Great Men Fail, this teaching walks through 18 minefields that make you more susceptible to moral failure. We can all indicate areas where we are more VULNERABLE to moral failure due to certain patterns, tendencies, or personality leanings in our own lives. It behooves us to "put guard rails" around these areas. To be "for-warned" is to be "for-armed." It may not be a fun or exciting topic per-say, but it could very well be one that saves your ministry and personal walk with the Lord. This is just one of the resources from our LEGACY called, "Avoiding The Black Hole."
