clear views for pastors, educators and community development leaders
DESCRIPTION
Since before the founding of our young country, U.S. pastors are strategically aligned with what became known as economic development, community development and workforce development. Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) is wise to bring together in certain regions of the state pastors, educators, economic development professionals, and business leaders. Deeper, wider and higher definitions and descriptions of "fully responsible leadership" and "strategic alignment"TRANSCRIPT

“The Law of Connection” —John Maxwell, Bestselling Author and Coach
Speakers, teachers, entrepreneurs and other leaders are wise to use best-effort words to connect with individuals in personal ways — before engaging in other discussion. By genuinely forging personal connection, higher levels of engagement are achieved.

Should We Return CHRIST to Christian?
Christian is a softer sounding word for religion.
CHRIST . i . an is a respectful term for His name.
CHRISTian teachings must remain central to all Christian religions.
A Christian follows a religion’s ways to reach God.
A CHRISTian ALSO follows Christ’s teachings.
A Christian is also a CHRISTian when she or he is aligned with (i.e., “right with”) God’s will.

“Lifting your mind’s eye into the hills takes you out of the ‘close-up’ and deep into the ‘wider shot’ you simply could not see from keeping your head below. You’ll see where you’ve been, where you are, and where you can be through clear-sighted leadership. You’ll know which direction will take you and others the distance. Scale each hill expecting to eventually see the next hill you will climb. From perspective of higher ground, you will grow stronger, become more engaged, and increase your overall performance. from hill-to-hill keeps your thoughts focused.” —JRDjr

Wired to persist or wired to resist? Do you push-back more than you pull-forward? Wired to accept or wired to reject? Do you find more strength in rejecting than accepting? Wired to reflect or wired to jump to conclusions? Do you need strong opinions instead of want views? Wired to work hard or wired to pretend to be working? Do you lie to yourself about your daily productivity? Wired to be a victor or wired to remain a victim? Do you find upside-down safety in remaining a victim?
How are You Wired? Is it Time to Pray for Re-wiring? Questions for Individuals , Communities and Churches . . .
