An outside perspective
It may be counter-intuitive, but sometimes even when you know precisely what needs to happen, it takes outside perspective to increase the leverage for change. As Jesus said, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home” Matthew 13:57....
The Logan Leadership approach to consulting
Can you see so much more potential for your ministry than is currently being lived out? Are you frustrated with the status quo and discouraged by failed attempts? Do you lead a congregation in decline that could be growing instead? We can help. You can meet needs in...
The four principles of resource development
Here are the four principles we use at Logan Leadership that form the basic approach to how we go about developing resources: Principle-based: Certain things are timeless: the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in his church, the great commission Jesus left us...
Resource development with Logan Leadership
At Logan Leadership, we love resource development. It’s long been a favorite venture to come alongside organizations and create resources geared specifically to their goals and needs. I'm currently revamping my whole website and integrating it more with my blog. New...
Pastoring the City
I am often amused at young church planters that launch out with the perspective that it is up to them to reach the city for Jesus. As a church planter myself, I remember thinking our church would be the better alternative than the church down the road. How needed were...
Directions for the future

Does Easter happen outside of the church?
Today's entry is by guest blogger Randy Lovejoy. His new website-- www.EnactedPrayers.com-- will be going live in August. “He is risen!” said Steve to another man who had just gotten out of one of the teepees which surrounded the common area. “Right” the man...
Pressing reset to engage the culture
Today's blog entry is by guest blogger, Dr. Parnell Lovelace. Recently, I experienced some difficulty accessing information on my laptop. After attempting several times to use the password I had entered previously on the site, it became apparent that the only option...
Trust the process
I have found this to be true among ministry leaders. The greater the fruitfulness, the greater the need to pull away and reconnect with God for perspective and re-prioritize. As leaders, we need to find ways to protect ourselves and our time, while still providing...
A disciplined approach to capturing insights
I used to carry with me a notebook that included a page I called my “action idea list.” Any thought I had that I wanted to retain, I’d flip to that page and write it down. (I’ve heard some novelists use the same strategy to take down plot points and new ideas that...
Divine appointment or distraction?
Even Jesus got interrupted sometimes. He was on his way to Jerusalem when a crowd slowed him down and a woman touched the hem of his robe. At that point, he had a decision to make. Would he press on to Jerusalem? Or was this a divine appointment? In that case, Jesus...
