Through classrooms, boardrooms, church leadership, middle management, or senior team leadership, I believe that relationships are the key to any success.

Hey, I have a podcast. Here's the latest episode :-) https://t.co/Tw1FCTYOOo

Wrestling with hard questions about faith? You are far from alone. Navigating deep doubt can be terrifying, but it can also be the catalyst for a much firmer foundation.

What happens when the thing you are actively preparing your life for is the very thing you start to doubt? I’m opening up about a season of questioning during my ministry training, and why doubt isn’t the end of the road.

True faith isn't the absence of questions; it's the willingness to seek answers honestly.

Here's a personal look back at a season of profound uncertainty during my ministry training, and how navigating that tension changed everything.

Compare perspectives:

At home David is the youngest child overlooked when an esteemed guest arrives.

Elsewhere his reputation is of a handsome warrior.

When the time is right, the right people will call you out.

The 'Noise of the Now' is brilliant at making us feel highly productive, even when we are moving in the wrong direction. Sometimes the most strategic move is simply to stop and observe.

@Codyjayartistry @TubeBuddy Wow that’s an insight! Thanks for sharing that one!

[Jon Petts @jonpetts]

@ChurchLead Yeah I started to doubt God’s existence while at Bible College!! It’s one of the enemy’s schemes to make doubt a taboo rather than have us talk openly which leads through to even deeper faith :-)

[Jon Petts @jonpetts]

Is it possible to hit every metric at work whilst feeling quietly overwhelmed behind closed doors? If you are managing the noise but losing the foundation, when did you last pause to look at the structure?

Loved this quote. I love change - as long as it helps us all to thrive!

[Jon Petts @jonpetts]

"You know the adage “People resist change.” It is not really true. People are not stupid. People love change when they know it is a good thing. No one gives back a winning lottery ticket." (Ronald Heifetz, Marty Linsky, and Alexander Grashow, The Practice of Adaptive Leadership)

I am beginning to wonder if we have outgrown the need for more productivity hacks. What if the answer is not a better calendar app, but simply creating the space to figure out what is actually happening?
