10 Leadership Lessons Learned From My Mentor– This is a good article from Chris Hefner. The great thing about the lessons he has learned from his mentor is that he has shared them with me. I have been mentored by Pastor Greg Mathis by proxy, and his leadership has benefited me greatly.
One Space After a Period. Period!– I personally think this guy is wrong, but apparently I’m just old fashioned (and according to the official manuals of style, I’m incorrect).
Losing Your Voice: 4 Ways Pastors Lose Their Pulpits– The problem is that the preacher hasn’t re-wrestled with the text, fed all week on the meat, and marinated it daily in prayer. They say never to trust a skinny chef. Well, never trust a spiritually lean preacher either.

Pray that we will find the grace to drop our defenses and the humility to learn from others in the field who may not share our politics. Pray that public, private, and charter schools can exist in a cooperative system where each feeds off of the others’ best practices. And pray that we will refrain from making education an idol, that we will see education as one element among many through which God works to put his character and glory on display so that we might know him (Acts 17:27).
