Hard to believe that my new Sr. Pastor Tele-Coaching Network begins in just 7 days – next Thursday, August 25!

You Are Never Too Old to Learn – What One Pastor is Learning After a Lifetime of Ministry
With my new Senior Pastor Tele-Coaching Network beginning to fill up (it begins August 25), I keep thinking about the reasons why people apply.

My Crazy Travel Day Yesterday
I was flying back from Atlanta yesterday after speaking at The Velocity Conference and I had to take the underground train to my gate. You know which one I’m talking about, right?
