Church Leaders are Behind the Curve

Leaders Need A Way Through the Wilderness

One of the greatest gifts in Christian leadership is discernment of the times and the ability to offer wisdom to those in leadership. The Sons of Issachar were said to "Understand the times" and "Jonathan was a Counselor to King David" as to how to plan a wise strategy for the future". (I CHR 26-27)

It has long been said that wisdom and counsel were my spiritual gifts and call. I am not a "Top Banana" that wants to be King or President. So, despite the fact that I have often served as CEO, Founder, President and "Top Dog" in several organizations it is not my desire or gift.

I much prefer to advise, counsel and offer insight to people in charge. For many years I have served as a consultant/coach to Pastors, Business Presidents and CEOs and I am still doing it.

I see a lot of need for wisdom and counsel right now among Ministry Leaders. Almost every church is trying to build on old fashioned ideas that fit the young Boomers well but have changed over the decades. It reminds me of the song that says: "When Will They ever learn; When Will They Ever learn?"
