Governing God's Way with Dorothy Burton

If not careful, we will let people and self-doubt talk us right out of our purpose and we will miss "the it" we were given life to fulfill. "You're too old," "You don't know enough..." don't let the doubt in your mind keep you from pursuing what God has purposed in your heart.

They wouldn't be talking if you weren't impactful. Don't let their words worry you. There is never a need to retaliate or try to explain yourself to people who are are not looking for understanding, but who are looking to bring you down!

As a former black evangelical, nothing has been more disappointing in the age of Trump than the discovery by non-white evangelicals that it was never about being sisters and brothers in Christ. It was all a rouse. White evangelicals have proven it by their idol worship of Donald Trump and by their silent consent of the cruelest policies that are in direct contrast to scripture and the teachings of...

The Adversary will come to us when we have a legitimate need and tempt us to meet that legitimate need in an illegitimate way. Why? To cause our downfall by signing over our God-given authority to him which gives him opportunity to rule over us by using what he knows about us to wield illegitimate authority over us. He doesn't keep secrets and he doesn't fight fair. Let's learn from Je...

Why protests and politics can never bring about lasting change.

Don't limit yourself! The greatest leaders have the greatest curiosity to explore, learn, stretch and grow.

As a leader, people will use your good name, courage and position for cover. Two leaders. One important battle. One operating in authenticity - the other in trickery. Learn how God covers us when we are unaware and unsuspecting.

As a leader you need a 7th sense to discern who is really for you and against you. How to know!

A conversation with Amanda Tyler and Frank Schaeffer

We never know how things can come back to haunt us. This is a short but powerful episode.

How to handle attacks and how God turns them around to our favor without us having to do a thing! When we take matters into our own hands, we are taking the opportunity to surely fail. Don't retaliate. Wait. What every leader should know.

The Adversary gets us. He knows the bait to entrap us. Do not believe you are strong enough or smart enough to believe you are immune. You're not. None of us are. There is a trap with your and my name on it. Here's how we avoid and escape.

Learn from Nehemiah how to masterfully answer and neutralize your critics.

Jesus exhibits one of the most important, but lacking characteristics of an exceptional leader - compassion. A classic that in today's environment, deserves a repeat!

In one sentence -- make people feel as though they matter, not just when you need them to matter.

We can retire from a job, but never from our work. A job pays the bills. Work fulfills the purpose God gave us. Only He can retire us from that. As long as we have breath, we have work to do.

God never calls anyone or anyone he calls to make it a point to be liked. In fact, the opposite will be true. As long as you stand for right, do not expect to be liked. You won't be by most. It is one of the costs of true leadership.

Don't let small people sweat you!

Jesus teaches his disciples and us a valuable lesson on jealousy. A brilliant twist. An excellent teaching moment for us all. "For he who is not against you, is for you," Jesus. Wow.

Where you are is not mere happenstance. You have been positioned by God for a far greater purpose.

What every leader can learn from Daniel. Not about lions, but those in your orbit who seek your destruction and demise. Before you face the lions --- spend facetime with God.

"Alla fine della partita, re e pedone finiscono nella stessa scatola." "At the end of the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box." No matter if we are rich or poor, president or prince... no matter our race or gender, class or age -- we all will someday experience the same fate. A sobering lesson in leadership.

How the Adversary, Satan takes out the best of leaders. His methods are sure, have worked since the first humans and no matter how good of a leader or strategic - he is superior. The one exception. Jesus. And we learn from Jesus Satan's method and how we too can beat him at his own game. What every leader should know. Because every leader is a target.

Learning about the character of God through the life of his chosen leader, Samson. No matter what we do, God keeps His word and He is a God of second, third, fourth... chances.

Three most important lessons in leadership every leader should learn from the life and leadership of three powerful kings.
