Tuesday
After a team member fails, the first question you ask sets what the relationship is built on, and the question Jesus asked Peter after his failure was about love. Picture the conversation on your calendar this week: someone key missed a commitment the client noticed, and you are deciding how to begin. John 21 records…
At work and in life, the next goal will always move the finish line, so your peace has to rest on something that does not move. Say you hit the number you set in January: as a regional vice president, you have watched how quickly Tuesday’s leadership meeting turns from celebrating the win to naming…
Some truths about God’s love reach your heart faster as a melody than in a paragraph. Picture your drive to work: a hymn you almost skipped is playing, and for the first time all week a line about God’s love does not just make sense, it lands. Nothing about the commute changed, only the way…
The way your spouse is wired differently from you is not a problem to manage; it is a gift God placed on purpose. You may know the differences well, how your spouse decides, recovers from a hard day, or spends a free Saturday, and have settled into working around them. Have you ever considered that…
A direct report walks into your office with a problem, lays it on your desk, and before she has even finished the sentence you have already started solving it in your head. It feels like leadership. Half the time it is actually theft — you are taking a growth opportunity that belonged to her. C.H.E.W.…
Wanting something a lot has never been the same thing as having a plan. The gym membership you bought back in January, unused since March, is proof. Most Christians are running their whole spiritual life on intentions that felt real the day they were made, but fade under the real stress and busyness of life.…
Nobody clapped when you answered that one email carefully instead of firing back what you actually felt. No one saw you choose patience with the barista, or when you took the extra two minutes to actually read the memo instead of skimming it. You noticed, though — that it didn’t seem to matter to anyone.…
Many leaders could recite their Tuesday one-on-ones from memory — who’s on the calendar, what carried over from last week, which follow-up you still owe someone. Ask the same leader when they last had a real, structured conversation with their spouse about how the week actually went, and the answer gets vague fast. Not because…
You already know who’s going to talk first in your 9 a.m. You could write the transcript before the meeting even starts — same opening line, same confident tone, same person filling the first thirty seconds of silence before anyone else gets a foothold. Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s someone else. Meanwhile the person who…
Most executives treat August like a waiting room. The inbox thins out, half the leadership team is somewhere with a pool, and the whole month gets filed under “slower” — which quietly becomes shorthand for “less important,” a stretch to survive until September’s real momentum kicks back in. A regional VP I worked with called…
