[Kid Inspiration]

Okay, so as you may be aware we are working at this moment on our first Hillsong Kids Curriculum. So that has me up late writing content and messages and scripts and stuff.
The one site I visit regularly is Desiring God which is the teaching ministry of John Piper whenever I need a shot of [...]

Haven’t read this yet… but it’s on the reading list.
From Brian Mclaren’s blog, links to research from Dave Csinos about children in the Bible.
BTW reading Brians book at the moment Everything must change.

There are VERY few veterans when it comes to ministry to children, especially in Australia… so it was a real honour to meet Dick Gruber last weekend. He was in town for a conference and popped in to one of our Sunday morning services.
Got to meet Dick and his son Tim, both incredibly tall indiviuals.
Although, [...]

“If there’s one thing I just don’t have time for, it’s delegation”…

He noted a poster describing the seven-step career path that McDonalds offers.
This is a great lesson for all companies and churches!  You need a career path or a leadership pipeline and leaders need to know about it! One [...]

Rick Warren article: How to get more out of your reading time
I may be a little biased about reading here. I never had a TV until I was 12… a curse at the time (very embarrassing to try and do an assignment about your favourite TV show), but a blessing looking back. So I got [...]

Right now over at the swerve blog (from lifechurch.tv) Craig Groesche is writing a 5 part series on mentoring. I was talking to a friend of mine who I thought would be right with me in the need for every leader to have great mentors in their lives.
He hadn’t really thought about it.
