If you’re in the middle of a pivot right now — uncertain, uncomfortable, maybe even afraid — take heart. You’re not lost. You’re being redirected. The pain of change often precedes the blessing of growth. Don’t resist the pivot; embrace it. Ask God what He’s trying to teach you. Trust that He’s not just changing your direction — He’s preparing your destination.

Anyone can be accountable, but few choose to be owners. Accountability meets expectations; ownership exceeds them. Accountability answers to someone; ownership answers for something.

Change is a word that makes some people lean in with excitement and others tense up with caution. In ministry and leadership, we often talk about faithfulness, steadfastness, and perseverance—and rightly so. But faithfulness doesn’t mean doing the same thing forever. Faithfulness means continually aligning our mission, methods, and mindset with the movement of God.

Don’t send ducks to eagle school. It’s not a put-down; it’s a leadership reality. Great leaders learn to recognize the difference between people who can grow into a role and people who are simply not wired for it.

Over time, they shape you into a more honest, humble, and resilient leader.

It may sound upside down, but workplaces that lean into mercy and grace actually perform better. Why?

Endings are not the enemy. They are the doorway to what’s next. If you’re standing at the threshold of change right now, take heart —

Your culture is either helping you become who God’s called you to be—or holding you back. You can’t drift your way into health. You have to

Ambition isn’t wrong. God often places big dreams in our hearts. But there’s a difference between stepping out in faith and leaping into fan

In a fast-paced world that celebrates hustle, speed, and constant output, reflection often gets overlooked. We rush from one project to the next, one meeting to the next, one season of life to the next—rarely taking the time to pause, process, and learn. But without reflection, we limit our growth. We repeat the same mistakes. We miss opportunities to celebrate progress or redirect our path. As the saying goes, “Experience is not the best teacher. Evaluated experience is.”

In one of the lesser-known but surprisingly insightful moments in Winnie the Pooh, there’s a scene where Christopher Robin is dragging Pooh downstairs by the back of his head. Thump. Thump. Thump.

Failure is inevitable—but great leaders don’t fear it. They embrace it, learn from it, and encourage others to do the same. The best leaders know that success isn’t about avoiding failure; it’s about using failure as a stepping stone to growth. Whether in business, sports, or innovation, those who “fail forward” are...
