Welcome to the lead To Lead now. The pie cast is the Texas ___ for effective leadership. Last fall participants in our emerging leadership listening sessions identified specific leadership questions and challenges they're currently facing in ministry. Each week during this ___ our guests provide answers to this leadership questions and provide helpful resources to help you lead. The recent economic down turn and financial crisis have increased the frequency with which we've heard from you that pastors and ministers are experiencing concern related to church and personal finances. This week we welcome Cecil(?) Deadman, director of the Bible ___ and smaller church ministry for Texas Baptist to help us address this challenge. Thanks for joining us Cecil(?). Glad to be with you. Cecil(?) is a minister just can't live on what the church offers and salary. Is it appropriate to ask for a raise. I'd say yes it is.

Lead Now - the podcast for the Texas Baptist Center for Effective Leadership launches in two weeks to address your specific ministry challenges and leadership questions.

Special Guest Becky Biser discusses using powerful questions as a leadership tool to get people moving in a new direction even if they don't necessarily respect your age or position.
