		<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 hands. You [...]]]></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 beg anyone we can to [...]]]></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.

As leaders, we&#8217;re attracted to the boldness by which they pursue their vision

When I was in high school I worked sales at RadioShack in Xenia, Ohio. Although it wasn’t that long ago, I remember how easy it was to sell mobile phones. Very few people had them, but everyone wanted them. Fast forward a decade and I can’t find anyone without a mobile phone.

‘Our methods may change, but our message never will.’
It really sounds good doesn’t it? Being able to say with conviction that we’ll use exciting new methods while keeping our theological heritage intact. It’s a great way to say something we all think.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t [...]]]></description>

How amazing would it be if we were not known as pro-life or anti-choice, but as people who loved and cared for unwed mothers and their children? What if we were known not [...]]]></description>
