Do you recognize transitions in groups or ignore them? 

I've found that recognizing and discussing the transitions is better than ignoring them and being disturbed by the resistance, anger, and sabotage accompanying them.

What do you do when you are tired, burned out, and don't even have time to eat? Jesus said, "Come away...and rest awhile."

A sabbatical in the summer of 2000 was the most helpful gift a church has given me.

How can we encourage ourselves and others to practice this principle?

Jerrie's cousin, John Whitwell, tells how he went from Cow Holler near Centerville, Tennessee, to be the Director of Bands at the University of Michigan. Although he had never heard of a school band when his family moved to Michigan, he first saw one in a 4th of July parade. 

Hear how that event and the events following changed his life, his stuttering, and the thousands of others he influenced and encouraged throughout his life.

Why do we have trouble with having peaceful, productive conversations?

Could it be because it would be challenging to have an enjoyable game if some played by basketball rules, others by baseball rules, and another part of the group played by football rules?

Different groups can have different rules of engagement for different purposes. However, the same group needs to have the same communication rules for each occasion.

For a list of the rules without comments, click on Discussion Guidelines. 

For a PDF eBook of these rules with the commentary, click on Guidelines for a Good Discussion: how to lead a peaceful conversation about powerful things.

How can a young, inexperienced preacher do well? What if your young preacher doesn't understand some of the fundamental principles of finances, how to do the work of ministry, how elders work, and how to have a good preacher-elder relationship?

My best answer is to tell how three elders dealt with me and taught me essential lessons by word and example with gentleness.

What do you do when you can't fulfill your promises? That was my challenge when I resigned from a church less than twelve hours after I agreed to move to their town and work with them.

But the principle applies to anyone who discovers they have promised what they can't do.
