		<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>

We’ve talked about many different topics, including the Church and the Holy Spirit. This week we’re talking about relationships. We’re all a part of God’s plan for the world – and we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m often asked about the purpose of small group – and honestly that’s a tough question to answer. That’s sort of like asking “What’s the purpose of a screwdriver?” You can say “to turn screws”, but that’s not a very helpful answer if you don’t know what a screw is. Usually my answer starts good [...]]]></description>

We had a great discussion last week on how to make this a more effective tool in your groups. Hopefully the changes will allow for better discussion and application. Among the [...]]]></description>

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>

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>
