Strategic Resolutions
Posted on 04. Jan, 2012 by frank.
Don’t make the mistake of treating this year like every other. So often we go into a new year and get excited about a chance to start over, but we only set ourselves up for dissapointment. We pull together our goals and resolutions for the year and maybe one or two will get accomplished but [...]

Leadership Tension
Posted on 01. Nov, 2011 by frank.
As a leader I think tension can be a very healthy thing, especially when you keep it in the right places. Here is what I mean. I believe we should always maintain a healthy tension between providing guidance and maintaining control over the people we lead. Leaders I meet tend to gravitate toward one or [...]

Don’t Play The Blame Game

My friend Kevin Stone is the Executive Pastor at Christ’s Church of the Valley and I had the pleasure of working with him and learning from him while I served there in numerous roles. On his website, Executive Pastor Online he has some great stuff about his experience at CCV. Here are his thoughts on [...]

Criticism, Leadership and Ministry
Posted on 30. May, 2011 by frank.
I’ve been at Hope Summit Christian Church for a year now and the transition has been a great experience. Especially because I have an Elder team that has been extremely supportive through every challenge we’ve faced. However, leaders that are guiding any organization through transition often deal with criticism. Change brings criticism because people are resistant to change, but [...]

Work With Experts
Posted on 12. Apr, 2011 by frank.
As I continue to grow as a leader, I find myself frequently appreciating the giftedness of experts. There is something unique that a specialist brings to the table when trying to accomplish a goal. I’ve seen it time and time again as I’ve worked with publishers, graphic designers, musicians, and educators around the country. Today [...]

Beyond the Great Omission

People Destroy Marriage, Not Facebook
Posted on 19. Nov, 2010 by frank.
I’ve been asked a few questions lately about the pastor in NJ that has demanded the leaders in his church delete their facebook accounts or resign. I don’t really know the pastor, and while I’m sure he has good intentions, I completely disagree with his request. I actually think it is a move that will [...]

One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Posted on 21. Sep, 2010 by frank.
I think as ministries and churches set objectives, create goals, or design spiritual growth opportunities we can sometimes get tunnel vision. We get so focused on meeting the needs of one people group and forget there is more to our congregational make up than the baby Christian (or maybe your focus is on the senior saint). The [...]

Confrontation Is Not A Bad Word
Posted on 21. Jun, 2010 by frank.
I’ve received many calls over the years from leaders in the church about conflict. Small group leaders, elders, key volunteers and staff will call and say, “Frank, my team/group is in complete turmoil.” I’ll often be silent for a minute or two and let them share and then I’ll be quiet for a moment and [...]
