“Being the Church” Online

Two of my favorite people (Tony & Carlos) that I have never met have teamed up to attempt something that I don’t think has ever happened before, an event that ties together thousands of people from all over the world in “being the Church” online. Here is what Tony had to say about the [...]

Stick With Your Strengths

We hear it over and over again, stick with your strengths and delegate everything else. The simplicity of this message makes a lot of sense when we hear someone else say it or we read it in a big time leadership book but to actually implement this idea into our lives, our ministries and [...]
