Nobody is certain of the future, but this year is more uncertain than most.

The importance of spiritual disciplines and discipleship remains, but they alone are not leadership.

Prioritize quarterly and six-month strategies above long-term vision.

Be intentional about enhancing a celebration culture but don't neglect the care of those who are hurting.

Now is the time to seek outside counsel and inside accountability.
