Story and Living with Conviction
This 17 minute video challenges us to live out our story. Our stories aren’t just about us. It’s about those that have gone before us and those that will come after us.

Heart and Possibility
Michael Hyatt, one of my favorite bloggers, recently posted The Importance of a Leader’s Heart. I was convicted. Let me share what he said, then I’ll share why I was convicted. The most important thing you can do as a leader is to keep your heart open. What do I mean? Think of it this [...]
