Followership vs. Leadership

We live in a day and age that is obsessed with leadership development. We are constantly inundated with books, blogs, articles and podcasts bosting 7 secrets, 6 principles and 3 steps on how to become a better leader. We attend seminars, workshops and leadership programs looking for the latest and greatest guru in hopes that they will unlock something within us and set us on the path to greatness. However, in spite of all our efforts – reading books, listening to podcasts and attending seminars – we’re mentally and spiritually tired. The quest of chasing leadership development in hopes that […]

Listen to Linus

“That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.” – A Charlie Brown Christmas As a little boy growing up, and still to this day as a husband and father of four, of all the television specials that have aired during the Christmas season, “A Charlie Brown Christmas” is my favorite. When I was a boy, my mom and I would search the TV Guide (younger readers may be surprised to learn that one actually had to consult a magazine or newspaper to see what would be on TV) to see when the Christmas special would air so we would not […]

The Wrong Ticket

Oops! Wrong Flight! The other day I realized that I had booked a return flight for the wrong date. Thankfully I realized it the day before I was scheduled to return. The mistake cost several hundred dollars to fix. I was bugged, to say the least, that I had made that mistake and immediately wondered why. Have you had moments like this? Your life is humming along, and everything seems to fit only to realize that it doesn’t. You forget something, you lose something, you say something, you miss something, you do something, and each one of those somethings is […]

What holiday movie or special do you watch over and over again?

Good News Wants to Know… What holiday movie or special do you watch over and over again?  Is there a favorite scene? My favorite Christmas movie is “Elf” because I love Christmas as much Buddy the elf does. I hope that we as Christians are as excited about Jesus’s return as Buddy is when he hears Santa is coming: “Santa here? I know him!” Beau Heyman, Executive Director, First Care Women’s Clinic   Filmed in a winter setting, the 1993 “Groundhog Day” film with Bill Murray is a favorite packed with a critical life lesson.  I laugh and cry as […]

Gratitude Is Taught

Have your kids caught the virus? It’s the most contagious and one of the most dangerous viruses a person can catch and it is “heir” born. Most of our culture has it. Are your kids negative and ungrateful? Some of that is because they’re still children. Much of it is because they are very impressionable. It doesn’t take much to cave into the impressions this culture leaves that more is better. Gratitude is necessary They can catch it from the culture, but they can also learn it from their parents. Ingratitude is caught in a home where gratitude isn’t taught. […]

Thankful To Whom?

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Last November I wrote about the extent to which America’s Thanksgiving celebration bears wonderful witness to our Christian faith. Our Thanksgiving tradition began with the Pilgrims in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Known as “Separatists,” they believed they would never be able to reform the Church of England and decided to separate from it. When persecution dogged them at every turn in England, they fled to Holland, and ultimately set sail for America on the Mayflower, landing on the shores of what we know today as Cape […]

“A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” Is An Inspiring Story of Hope, Forgiveness and Changed Lives

“Love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31). The words are easy to say. Christians know the command by heart — the two great purposes: love God and love people. The second one is like the first, as if to mean, that when we love our neighbor, we love God. When we look into the eyes of our neighbor, we see the eyes of Christ. But who is our neighbor? The words are easy to say. To live them, to truly love, is difficult.   A Beautiful Day to Go to the Movies There are few release dates more appropriate than […]

Good News Wants To Know…

For our November issue, Good News Wants to Know… What is something unique you have done in the past or are planning to do to celebrate Thanksgiving? Our family may be very unique in the fact that we usually have a Sukka in our backyard during the Thanksgiving season. It is for the Fall Feasts of the Lord called Tabernacles (aka Booths or Sukkot), which gives us an opportunity to not only reminisce about events in the pilgrims’ lives but to celebrate some big-ticket Biblical events that our forefathers lived out. We are soooo thankful the Jesus came to “tabernacle […]
