Millennials in the Workplace on 5 Leadership Questions
There are big differences between the Millennial generation and others in the workforce, do you know what they are? This podcast by Barnabas Piper and Chris Martin sheds light on this important topic.

Millennials tend to be more fulfillment and cause driven in their work as opposed to results and monetarily motivated. They want to do a job that matters.

What It Means to Love Someone by Angela Nazworth
To really love someone, what all does that mean? Angela beautifully walks us through what that looked like in the early stages of her marriage.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

In short, love is powerful. So very powerful. Use that power as it was intended to be used. Wield love not like a weapon, but like a healing agent.

You see, when you exchanged promises and rings with the love of your life, you signed up “for better and for worse, as long as you both shall live.” And sometimes, there is a whole heap of worse before you see more of the better. But if you hold onto Christ and love as He commands, your marriage will be draped with grace and blessing.

The Best Routes in Life Find You Dodging Geese Poop by Ron Edmonson
Often in life and leadership, the best and most beautiful path means you have to deal with some obstacles. Enjoy Ron’s funny analogy:

It’s a choice. You can choose where you want to run. You can stay on the boring and safe treadmill of life if you want, but, as for me, no doubt about it, whenever I get the chance, I’m choosing to run by the body of water.

I’ll just watch out for and endure the geese poop, because I know it’s a part of the path.

10 Proverbs for Leaders by Eric Geiger
Often, as a leader you don’t need the next leadership book, but rather to reflect on the truth of the Word. Eric shares 10 proverbs for leaders:

While the Bible is not a book about leadership (it is God’s self-disclosing story of His creation, pursuit, rescue, and restoration of a people for Himself), there are incredible nuggets of leadership wisdom within the Bible. Because our faith should impact every aspect of our lives, including our leadership, we find great truth within the Scripture that should form how we live—including how leaders lead. Here are ten wise sayings from the Book of Proverbs that should impact how leaders lead.

Politics Aren’t Worth Your Friendships by Trillia Newbell
Politics are everywhere we turn during this election year, but there is a danger to our friendships and relationships when all the political talks settles.
This election season has been one for the books. The results so far have taken many of us by surprise. It’s also brought out fear, anxiety, and a great deal of tension. I am certain that we will experience the effects of this election season for years to come. But what I wonder (and fear) is that our political responses, discussions, and beliefs might do damage to dear relationships. At the end of 2016, will we see carnage from the battle of political ideologies and differing opinions among brothers and sisters in Christ? Will those of us who were united in friendship become enemies as a result? Is it possible that we can disagree and still continue to love one another or is this where our paths diverge from each other?
