Why a book of prayers? 09/10/2026

Why a book of prayers? It’s a good question: Why would I put all of this effort into writing yet another book? The simple answer: This book basically wrote itself! Watch of this interview. In their book Spiritual Leadership, Henry and Richard Blackaby wrote, “Biblical praying can be the most challenging, exhausting, laborious, and yet rewarding thing leaders do. … More than any other single thing leaders do, their prayer life determines their effectiveness.” This is exactly why I wrote Amen Indeed—I wanted to help shepherd leaders with this laborious yet rewarding discipline. .

The grind to excellence 08/13/2026

The grind to excellence When I would be struggling with stick-to-it-iveness, my Mom would say to me, “Anything worth having is worth working for.” From a young age, she was encouraging me to grind through the tough work to get to the payoff on the other side. This is a great leadership principle, not only for leaders but for the teams they lead as well. Check out this clip where Greg and I talk about the grind necessary to achieve greatness. Watch of this clip. My book will help pastors who are trying to grind through the painful experience of biting sheep. This book has helped so many pastors see the factors that led up to the bite, the biblical responses to bites, and the resilience we can discover to help these shepherd leaders stay faithful to God’s calling.

The heavy responsibility of pastoring 08/06/2026

The heavy responsibility of pastoring Even Charles Spurgeon—a man called “the prince of preachers”—recognized the heavy responsibility of God’s call on someone to serve as a pastor. The best resource a pastor can tap into is prayer, and I would suggest that the first person a pastor should pray for is himself. This is where my book can be a huge blessing. This is a book that helps pastors turn the Scriptures into prayer.
