Last updated on: May 8, 2014 at 7:34 am By Marcus Goodyear

On Sunday, eight aerialists fell 35 feet onto a dancer below when their rigging collapsed above them during a performance of the “Greatest Show on Earth.” Investigators have already tracked the problem down to a single caribiner that failed. Thankfully, none of the nine performers suffered deadly injuries. They are still in the hospital recovering from broken bones and shock, but the latest news is that they are doing well. In some ways, this accident can feel like it is a... Read more

Want to Be Missional? Equip Those in the Workplace

Last updated on: May 1, 2014 at 9:05 pm By The High Calling

by Bob Robinson I was recently invited to teach a session of a seminary class called “Pastoral Functions” at an extension of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. In this class, the pastors-in-training had been discussing such topics as Worship, Disciplemaking, Evangelism, Visitation, Funerals, Weddings, Pastoral Counseling, Children’s Ministry, etc.—topics we’d expect in a class like this. But I was invited to talk about something significantly different and paradigm-shifting. Pastors need to recalibrate their ministry philosophy so that the members of their congregations are...

What challenges and obstacles do you face that prevent you from accomplishing big things? I don’t know about you, but I’ve long wrestled with my (perceived) shortcomings. I’ve always felt like I could accomplish more if I was smarter, had more education, or could get better connections with influential people. If we’re not careful, then our limitations can become a ceiling preventing us from reaching out potential. What it would look like if we leveraged our limitations and obstacles to... Read more

Three Reflective Questions to Improve Your Job Performance

Last updated on: April 28, 2014 at 10:22 am By The High Calling

by J.B. Wood I recently spent a couple of hours thinking about my job instead of actually doing it. I mulled over the current state of affairs at work, my priorities, my recent accomplishments, where my time is being spent, and so on. I guess you could say I was reflecting. To some of you, this may sound like a colossally assinine waste of time, but self-reflection is actually one of the defining qualities of a high-performance leader. Which I am attempting to...

Measuring Up

Last updated on: March 27, 2014 at 10:18 am By The High Calling

My 82-year-old neighbor says, “Sam, you worry too much.” My spiritual director echoes, “It’s okay to let go a little.” My supervisor affirms, “Don’t pull an all-nighter trying to make better what is already great.” As much as I’d like to hear their counsel, I can’t help but ask, Don’t they care?
