		<description><![CDATA[We live in a culture that celebrates femininity and criticizes manliness. If you need proof, look no further than the drastic increase in popularity of cats over dogs.* Cats, for the sake of argument, are the model of femininity. Soft. Dignified. They purr when you cuddle them. They keep their bathrooms neat. They plot against [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The Church may be the most leadership intensive organization in all the world.&#8221; I&#8217;ve been reading John Maxwell&#8217;s 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and that quote stuck out to me&#8230;and I completely agree with it. It&#8217;s hard to work with volunteers because you have little to no leverage. You don&#8217;t hold their well-being in your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In production leadership, and ministry in general, it’s not uncommon to fear not having enough volunteers. In fact, you may have already noticed something: we’ll never have enough volunteers. At least not enough to make us comfortable. Confident, yes. Effective, yes. Comfortable, probably not. So what do we do? We set the bar low and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a great lunch today with Kent Boyd, my production director at our Dalton Campus. We got together to talk about something that I&#8217;ve noticed in the past few weeks. As I&#8217;ve moved from leading volunteers directly into leading leaders (who lead volunteers), I&#8217;ve become more disconnected from the daily lives of the volunteers. [...]]]></description>

Each week Mike Holmes takes on a project that was done incorrectly (or left unfinished) and &#8220;makes it right.&#8221; I was watching a few nights ago and I [...]]]></description>
