What DID Jesus do?
Much has been made lately of the phrase “living incarnationally.” The bedrock passage is John 14:12, where Jesus told us, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am...
Why one person can’t disciple another person
Often why the discipleship process doesn’t multiply is because we leave it all up to one person. If one person disciples one other person, then that person disciples one other person… and so on. The assumption is that one person can bring another person to maturity...

The best board meeting in years
Most of us are hardwired to look at the negative. We see the mistakes, we see what’s not working. And people who come in for coaching are usually focused on a problem of some kind. Yet looking at the positive is what gives us more success and more energy to keep...
Next missional coach training
I’ve now launched two cycles of missional coach training, and I have to say it’s been an amazing experience. The training has all the benefits of traditional coach training, but because of the missional focus I’ve felt more connected to the participants. There’s just...
