The Talent Training Technology Triad
A work-in-progress model for connecting the dots that make for mission success in a worship ministry. There is a conspicuous absence of the “heart of worship” because I assume one is present.

Anyway, I welcome feedback because I’m not certainContinue reading “The Talent Training Technology Triad”

Humility IS NOT how small you perceive yourselfContinue reading “The Race Relations Solution”
