Giving Directions
What if you were able to read the newspaper that was to be published three years from now? All the news then is still our future. But because you are the only reader, you have insight no one else has. It would be troubling and exciting at the same time. Such was the experience of Daniel as he was given a glimpse into the future by God.
The Power of Consistency
Chicken or egg? You know the question: which came first? When we consider life, which comes first, consistency or opportunity and influence? If our lives were a book and people were turning the pages from chapter to chapter, what would they see? As we have done so with Daniel’s life, there is a thread that traces down from beginning to end: the thread of consistency. We will see the outcome of a consistent life as we continue our series “Long Haul Leadership" and look at one of the most famous stories in the biblical narrative in Daniel 6.
Presumption Prevention
We often talk about our need to learn from the past. But what happens if we take the wrong lesson? We will see how we, as leaders, can ensure that we learn the right lessons from the past.
Speaking Truth
It can be tough as a leader to give hard or difficult news to the people around us. In this week of our series, “Long Haul Leadership”, we will be looking at how Daniel explained hard news to Nebuchadnezzar and what lessons this gives to us today.
Speed Limits
People who have had a huge impact over time are those who have stood out from the crowd, who have had the courage to stand alone. Their actions are so stark that it cannot go unnoticed. This week we will see how one act of courage can impact a whole nation, and that act of courage could be yours.
Where the Rubber Meets the Road
Truckers spend long hours alone, delivering the goods for the rest of us. But when issues start happening on the road, you find the truckers band together to assist each other. This contributes to the safety and longevity for each of them for the long haul. This week we will see how banning together for the common good is a key to longevity in our faith journey.
Proper Inspection
Longevity. It takes persistence, consistency, and desire. It takes always doing the next right thing. What habitual practices aid us in choosing what the next best thing to do is? It all starts with a good foundation.
