  • They’re People, Not Tools - Feb, 2008
    "I had to settle in my heart that I was going to love the people more than I loved my ministry.” These words rang in Andee Marks’ ears, resonated in her mind, and finally lodged in her heart. How often do we look at someone on our team while thinking of the task we want him or her to do for our ministry? While unintentional, it’s easy for that mindset to become our default setting. Did Jesus see the blind, lame, and dead as tasks to address? Did He see them simply as objects to use as He built His ministry? Hardly! Jesus was—and is—primarily interested in our spiritual formation. So what does that mean for us as Christ-following equipping leaders?

Barbara offers six tips that will breathe new life into your music program.
  • hanging Change - Feb, 2008
    CSteve Argue says we need to change the way we change—and do a better job of knowing the reasons for our change. What do you need to consider before you implement that change?
  • New Screening Options - Feb, 2008

  • Recruiting Frustration - Mar, 2008
    “I’m frustrated because asking people to serve is not my strongest area, and it takes so much time. Any suggestions before I lose all my joy for ministry?”
