3 Keys to Consistency

  Consistency is key when it comes to long-term success. If you are like me, you may have found yourself frustrated and discouraged with your inability to “stick with it” for the long haul. I am not saying that developing consistency will be easy, but it is possible. Below, you...

Bringing Value

Occasionally, someone will express a value or perspective that is so powerful I feel compelled to make it my own. One such occasion occurred while I listened to a message by Bill Hybels, the senior pastor of Willow Creek Community Church. He was discussing the topic of succession, more specifically...

The Fall Factor
