WHY LEADERS NEED THE BODY OF CHRIST
By Lisa Hosler

Your schedule’s jammed. Your mind’s packed. And you’re headed into an important prayer meeting for your organization. How do you shift gears? That was me a few weeks ago. There was no margin in the day, no time to take a walk before the meeting, and—truth be told—not much time to even breathe. Another staffer […]

WHY LEADERS NEED THE BODY OF CHRIST

By Lisa Hosler

Your schedule’s jammed. Your mind’s packed. And you’re headed into an important prayer meeting for your organization. How do you shift gears? That was me a few weeks ago. There was no margin in the day, no time to take a walk before the meeting, and—truth be told—not much time to even breathe. Another staffer was leading the meeting, so she laid out the topic, we discussed it a bit, and we worshiped. Even so,...

HAVE YOU HEARD GOD’S FULL HEART ON THE MATTER?

By Lisa Hosler

As Christian leaders, we want to know God’s heart for our ministries and obey His will. But exactly how do we discern His heart, and how do we know when we’ve received the full download? Let’s lay a little groundwork, and then I’ll share a scenario from our ministry. Our...

ARE YOU SLIPPING?

By Lisa Hosler

Let’s be honest. As leaders, there are days—sometimes seasons—when we feel like we’re losing ground. Our brains are foggy. Our decision-making is dull. We feel one step off with the Lord. Fortunately, God has a remedy. When I’m doing my morning stretch routine—supporting most of my weight with one hand—occasionally...

STAYING ATTUNED TO GOD’S HIGHER WAYS

By Lisa Hosler

Leaders are busy. Wise leaders are busy doing the right things. But how do you know what’s right? At the ministry where I serve, we’ve found that what’s “right” is determined not by our own human wisdom, but by God’s higher ways and thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9 says, “For my thoughts...

DO YOU HAVE A WE/THEM MENTALITY?

By Lisa Hosler

As leaders, besides wrongly categorizing our days into ministry and non-ministry segments, we also tend to categorize people. There are the people we relate to on deep level, those we’re just friendly to, and those we typically wouldn’t associate with. Problem is, Jesus didn’t function this way. Yes, there’s wisdom...

HOW TO DEAL WITH DELAYS

By Lisa Hosler

Note the plural on the word delays. If you’re like most leaders, there’s not just one project or hire or goal that’s on hold—there’s a plethora. Aaaaaaaah! How do we embrace delay and displace angst? I’ve been working on a big project for several years. Seasons of great progress have...

WHEN YOU’RE UNDER THE GUN

By Lisa Hosler

Ha! As leaders, when are we NOT under the gun? Every week is busy. Every project is urgent. But we can learn to step away from the barrel and steal away with our Father. A few days ago the gun was pointed at my head. I needed to write a...

HOW TO WALK ON WATER TOWARD OTHERS

By Lisa Hosler

If you want to talk to people about Jesus, you’ll have to get out of your comfort boat. And it gets harder from there. You’ll have to do some water-walking. At the ministry where I serve, God is impassioning us to see everyone with His eyes of compassion—not just the...

ARE YOU TOO COMPARTMENTALIZED?

By Lisa Hosler

Good leaders are organized and have healthy boundaries. But have we segmented portions of our lives that God never meant to be separated? Let’s take a look. 4 Areas I Used to Segment 1. Worship. Truth be told, I viewed worship as something that was relegated to a Sunday morning....

HOW TO HONOR GOD WITH MORE THAN YOUR LIPS

By Lisa Hosler

Christian leaders are famous for saying, “We give God all the glory.” And most of them mean it. But is there a deeper place—a place beneath our words—from which God wants to receive honor? And how does that play out in the workplace? Conviction is a funny thing. Until it...

SO YOU WANT TO BE A DISTINCTIVE LEADER

By Lisa Hosler

Leaders want to be known for something great. To leave a lasting mark on their organization. To exercise their giftings in transformative ways. Let’s look at God’s pathway to distinction. Thirteen years into my personal quest for leadership distinction, I’d demonstrated vision, good communication skills, and the ability to rally...
