In a liminal season, it simply is not helpful to pretend we understand what needs to happen next. But leaders can still lead.
As a young minister, I often wondered, “How am I doing?” It was a good question! But at midlife I began to ask, “How am I helping others to succeed?”
In a month, I will retire after eleven years as a non-profit executive. Now that it is finally happening, I’m forced to make up the rules as I go.
I set a goal for myself this summer that is quite atypical for me. I decided to read every page of the Mueller Report.

There is no one right way to evaluate the performance of a senior minister. However, there are many ways to do it that can harm the relationship between minister and the congregation and impair, rather than enhance, the minister’s performance.
The key is helping all of us to unplug from our devices so we can plug into the realm of God.
