Holistic Leadership Development

Leadership - Logan LeadershipYou want to develop leaders who will do what Jesus called us to do, leaders who can take the church forward into the 21st century. You look to the fields and see them, as Jesus does, ready for harvest — and you know that’s where your ministry needs to concentrate.

What’s needed is holistic leadership development — the kind of leadership development that comes from the harvest and leads people back into the harvest, resulting in subsequent generations of new believers and new leaders living as Jesus called us to live.

We can help you develop leaders the kind of leaders you need in a way that is both relational and intentional… and ultimately effective in helping your church accomplish its mission.

Who Jesus healed

Another surprise for me as I looked through the gospels is the amount of healing taking place. As Jesus lived on earth, he did a whole lot of healing. Not everyone, of course, but there is a lot more healing than my non-Charismatic background is usually open to...

Who Jesus hung out with

As I mentioned yesterday, I recently went through the gospel accounts writing down specific things Jesus did during this time on earth. Several things surprised me as I then looked back over the list I had compiled. One was how pronounced Jesus’ emphasis was on the...

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

A question on worship gatherings

For those of you that lean toward more of a simple church model without a corporate worship service, I have a question for you. I have been seeing a trend lately in people who just have a strong desire to be part of a corporate worship service of some kind—a gathering...

Following the Spirit

So much in life doesn’t go according to plan. No matter how responsible I am or how well I plan—things still get away from me sometimes, reminding me of the necessity of relying on the Holy Spirit. Regularly I try to step back from my ministry to ask, “Where is God...

Upon this Rock

I recently reconnected with a former supporter and ministry partner from my early days of ministry. I shared with him what I’ve been up to lately with my network of house churches, ViaCordis, and described some of our work in the recovery field. I told them how it...

A mentor or a coach?

I taught a webinar recently as part of the missional coach training process. Because this particular webinar had to be pre-recorded—and therefore not as interactive as I usually prefer—I asked for written insights from those who attended. The idea was not for them to...

Why bother with an online coaching tool?

Lately I’ve been spending some time beta-testing a new online coaching tool. When I first started experimenting with online coaching back in the late 90’s I thought it would be helpful, but I had no idea it would be as helpful as it is. The use of an online tool to...

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...
