“The signs of outstanding leadership appear primarily among the followers reaching their potential. Are the followers reaching their potential? Are they learning? Do they achieve the required results? Do they change with grace?” - Max DePree #leadership

“What would you say to a young Christian who is nervous about the future?”

I love @TimKellerNYC’s answer. I think about it every Easter.

@lead2purpose Thanks for sharing. Also I really miss Keller.

@JeffVanderstelt It's the only thing we have seen and don't know how to do anything different and scared to experiment with something new.

When I teach on Spiritual Gifts I share: 1) God gives people as gifts (Eph 4 - people gifts APEST); 2) God gifts people with gifts (Romans 12 skill gifts); and God gifts /empowers people for a given moment (1 Cor. 12 manifestation gifts).

[Rob McDowell @mcdowell_rob]

@lukedsimmons Totally agree, same for me.

[Rob McDowell @mcdowell_rob]

@stevecusswords @reachjulieroys Great points for us to be aware of.

@BluejaysAlways What year was this picture taken?

[Tullian Tchividjian @TullianT]

When you start blending the gospel with nationalism, you don’t just confuse categories—you corrupt the message. The gospel isn’t about reclaiming a country; it’s about redeeming people.

This kind of distortion doesn’t stay contained. It ripples out—generation after generation—leaving behind a trail of disillusioned people who think Christianity is about moral superiority and cultural dominance instead of forgiveness and grace.

Lord have mercy.

@lukedsimmons Fun isn't the worth I would choose...

“You know, the Yankees are not a good team. I don’t care what their record is. They have a lot of wild pitches. They make a lot of mistakes in the field. They don’t run the bases very well. And if they don’t hit home runs, they don’t have a chance to win.”

-Buck Martinez

@revchadbrooks @CliftonStrength Did it back in 2002 and have used it since then. Such a great tool.

The biggest ministry resource your church needs isn't money.

It's the time and ability to be strategic.

@dmack4949 @JesseBarfield29 @YouTube Hentgen was a surprise for me.

When the church becomes a brand, honesty becomes bad PR.

[Rob McDowell @mcdowell_rob]

It's interesting to hear American broadcasters speak about the @BlueJays and @Yankees and suggest it was an utter collapse of NY. Toronto being a good team had nothing to do with it.

[Rob McDowell @mcdowell_rob]

@mbird12 I'm guessing it's not like the difference between Baptists, Pentecostals and Lutherans?

[Rob McDowell @mcdowell_rob]

@BlueJaysDad @DannySpxp So cool. Thanks for sharing.
