Community is Important to Our Well-Being
This is True in More Ways Than You Might Think Two weeks ago, I told you that I was going to go deeper into a business tool last week, but because it was Independence Day, I didn’t. So, my plan was to focus on that this week. Well, due to an unexpected situation I found […]
Do You Trust Like David?
We Don’t Like Not Knowing the Outcome Trusting is scary. Wouldn’t be nice if we knew everything that was going to happen ahead of time? The initial answer is yes. But would it really? There are a lot of things that have happened in my life that I initially would have preferred to avoid. (For example, the scaffold plank breaking and the severe concussion that followed.) After giving it more thought, I can see that I’m a better person now than I was then. The ripple […]
Happy 250th and Why We Celebrate
Let’s Give This Some Thought I know, last week I told you that this week’s post would be about a business tool that’s evolving into separate tools. Well…surprise! It isn’t. I had planned to write about that, but then my assistant reminded me that this weekend is the Fourth of July. Once I realized this […]
We Need to Be More Confident
This Starts with Trust Last week we discussed the popular story of David facing Goliath and the courage it took. We looked at how we need to be more courageous when facing the giants in our own lives. This past week was Vacation Bible School, and the focus was on David as a shepherd and […]
Building Takes a Lot of Tools
This Goes for Building a Business Too It takes a lot of different tools to build a construction project. Just think about it. There are tools for concrete work, framing, roofing, drywall, painting, flooring, and the list goes on. There are multiple tools used in each of these areas. Think about how many tools are […]
We Need to Have Courage
Do We Trust God Enough? We’re continuing David’s story this week. Last week, we looked at David being anointed king and how God sees us differently than the world does. Probably the most recognizable story about David is when he fights Goliath. Most of us heard this story as kids. You know how it goes: young David faces a giant, overwhelming opponent. There is archaeological evidence suggesting that men of Goliath’s size existed. It […]
The Next Step in the Hiring Process
It Starts with Clear Expectations Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve discussed how difficult hiring can be. It’s one of the most challenging responsibilities we have as business owners. Because of that, we often cut corners and hire people without a clear plan. In the first post, we discussed how to hire the right […]
It’s All About the Heart
This Is What God Sees The world looks at outward appearances—who has the biggest house, the coolest car, the most money, or is the best-looking. This isn’t to say those things are bad. What matters is where our focus is. Is it on things, or is it on God? As we begin studying David, we […]
What Makes Someone an Ideal Hire?
It’s Less About Skill and More About Who They Are Last week, we discussed how difficult it can be to hire good people and reviewed a process for doing it better. That process was based on the Dave Ramsey EntreLeadership method for interviewing. This week, we’re going to look at Patrick Lencioni’s model for recognizing […]
Church is More Than a Meeting
It’s a Place of Worship This past Saturday, June 6, 2026, Pastor Lisa was ordained as an elder in the Global Methodist Church. At the beginning of the service, she came out dressed in a robe and sash—very formal and not her usual attire. She shared her experience from the day before. It was very […]
