Over the last couple years, the impact of the economy has really taken its toll on businesses, families, and relationships. The result, among many, has been an unusual amount of people going through major life changes.
When major trauma comes and significant change is required, leaders often see their life—and the journey of those they lead—take [...]
I train a lot of leaders around the world and when we open up time for Q&A, I almost always get asked about what was the pivotal point in our Ministry growing to over 15,000 strong. Truth is, it wasn’t one thing. It was a process of several things, doing a lot of little things [...]

For the most part, we understand what it means to love God with our heart. To love with our soul is, in essence, to love with our mind because our soul is influenced by the [...]
I hope you’ve been blessed by the marriage builders we’ve sent out this year. I know this has been a crazy year in so many areas for so many people…financially, relationally, and more. That’s why I believe this note to you is so vitally important.

It was so ridiculous to the religious leaders [...]
Our society lacks many people with internal motivation, which is why companies will pay such tremendous amounts of money for visionary, motivating, charismatic CEO’s…unheard of amounts of money that seems ridiculous and insane to most people.
The fact is, they’re looking for the person who is motivated internally with a passion to change that company, to [...]
We live in a society that tries to teach us to base most of our success (as well as find our sources for passion) on external stimulus. As long as you have a coach, as long as you have a mentor, as long as you have a trainer, as long as you have a voice, [...]
