Leadership in Context

Today, we conclude our archived series, Responding to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit reveals the things God has prepared for those who love Him. One of the marks of a Spirit-filled life is that the love of God flows in us and through us. The Holy Spirit also works to bring order and clarity to our hearts, removing confusion and helping us see things from God’s perspective. He brings clarity, not...

Today, we continue our archived series, Responding to the Holy Spirit. There are times in life when what we feel doesn’t line up with the Truth. We are the stewards of our feelings, and we must choose what we will believe: our feelings or God’s Truth. As followers of Christ, we are called to be led by what we believe, not by what we feel, and to yield ourselves to the leadership of the Holy Spirit...

Today, we’re pulling Responding to the Holy Spirit, Part 1 from the archives. Just as we have passions for the world or our flesh to have its own way, the Holy Spirit who dwells within us has a holy passion to have His way in our lives. The Holy Spirit is jealous for our attention. As we humble ourselves and allow Him to reign in us, we find victory over our own desires and our passion for having...

Today, we’re pulling Reaching the Next Generation, Part 2 from the archives. The Church misses something vital when it overlooks the “dew” of youth that God has given to bring refreshment and life. Too often, we wait for young people to mature instead of helping them mature. Rather than counting them out until they are older, we can give them opportunities right where they are and walk alongside t...

Today, we’re pulling one from the archives: Reaching the Next Generation, Part 1. Each of us plays a unique role in the lives of the next generation. Brothers and sisters connect and understand. Fathers and mothers teach, guide, and help prepare them for what’s ahead. Grandfathers and grandmothers bring affirmation, encouragement, and perspective. Every role matters as we invest in those coming be...

The command to be thankful and give thanks is overwhelmingly one of the most repeated commands in Scripture. Thankfulness is an exercise of the will that helps us see life more from God’s perspective. It becomes an antidote to bitterness, and the more we practice it, the more we strengthen and develop that seed of thankfulness in our lives.

As followers of Jesus, there should be fruit in our lives. Those who follow Jesus should be hearing from God, and those who hear from God should be following Jesus. Servants are followers, and followers are servants. Serving is not passive or waiting for an invitation to obey God. Serving is proactive.

The greatest thing a believer has to conquer is self. To follow Jesus, we must deny ourselves, and we never outgrow that calling. This is not the throne of self, but the throne of Jesus Christ. As we leave self behind, our true identity is fulfilled in Him.

There is a reason why Jesus picked people who were working when He was choosing His disciples. Today, we’re pulling one from the archives: Discipleship Nuggets About Work. Work is redemptive because it teaches us responsibility, allows us to benefit others, gives us the ability to be generous, and trains us to solve problems, overcome obstacles, and live under authority.

Jesus’ message was repetitive and clear: "Follow Me." Why would we lower the gospel to self-improvement? Even if someone didn’t believe and simply followed biblical principles, their life might improve—but that isn’t the gospel. Too often, we focus more on what we’re stopping than where we’re going. Jesus said, “Follow Me.” It really is that simple. Is there anything you’re waiting on be...

In God’s system, there is an obligation to pay off debt. Today, Keith continues the conversation on God’s economic system. It’s not just about giving God 10%, but about not doing whatever you want with the other 90%. There is giving, but there is also a greater call to wise management.

The Bible encourages helping people get out of debt. God has an economic system. While the government is not equipped to practice it, the Church is. And His economic system starts with the tithe.

God has an economic plan that much of our culture has overlooked. When an economy is broken, people don’t just lack resources, they lose responsibility and often the ability to sustain themselves. The answer isn’t throwing money at the problem. The Biblical model is personal investment—investment that calls something out of people, not just meets a need in them. That’s why what’s happening in Ukra...

We have a voice and we need to use our voice. Don’t be mad—do something righteous. In this episode, Pastor Keith dives into some of the tensions shaping our culture today. From an NFL ref wanting equal treatment without being seen as a woman, to an NBA player calling Pride Month unrighteous, the question is: what do we do? We speak out, and we speak up.

True teachers motivate people to do good things. Your speech should be so solid that it stirs people to action. In Titus 3, Paul instructs us to avoid foolish controversy. If it doesn’t edify, change lives, engage people, or motivate them toward good works, it only creates a disruptive culture. Measure the fruit of it, and then take action. Be a leader, not just a listener. Don’t cultivate a cultu...

God’s Word is amazingly wise. We should take His precepts and apply them. In this episode, Keith Tucci unpacks more biblical principles about immigration. To those who are diametrically opposed to you or who refuse to assimilate, we should not seek their peace and prosperity. That is different from offering a drink of water or treating them with basic humanity. Be kind to them, but do not empower...

Kindness and equity are not the same thing. I can give a stranger a sandwich without giving him the keys to my house. God has given us specific understanding in Scripture about how a nation can live together cohesively, and we need to consider how to apply those principles today. Immigration is one of those cultural issues that we need to examine through the lens of biblical thinking.

It’s important to know how to have sincere conversations, even if they are uncomfortable. Remember that each conversation involves three people: you, the other person, and God. Ask clarifying questions, and come into the conversation open-hearted, open-minded, and ready to listen. Don’t prejudge the conversation, feel pressured to resolve everything in the moment, or put it off altogether. No one...

Scripture shows us the beauty of both leadership and management working together. Leaders help us see where God is calling us next, while managers help care well for what He’s already entrusted to us. One leans toward vision, growth, and forward movement, while the other leans toward stability, faithfulness, and wise stewardship. Both matter deeply. When conflict arises between leadership and mana...

“Even on my worst days, it doesn’t change God’s immense goodness toward me.”—Keith Tucci. These are the seeds of rebellion (Psalm 106): forgetting God, losing wonder at His majesty, overlooking His abundant kindness, quickly forgetting His Word, envying others, and grumbling. A rebellious heart becomes a hard heart. It won’t hear God, won’t flow in thanksgiving, and a heart without thanksgiving do...

Leadership is about vision, clarity, sacrifice, and the ability to make the path forward simple enough for others to run with confidence. Real leaders don’t just see where they’re going. They help people understand why it matters, invest personally in the journey, and remove unnecessary complexity so momentum can build.

Tithing is a practical way to put God first and train your heart to actively participate rather than passively receive. It builds discipline, creates a shared culture of giving, and frees leaders to lead without hesitation. Over time it forms a testimony in your life, strengthens your spiritual confidence, and invites God’s active involvement in your finances.

The priesthood of Melchizedek that received the tithe is still in operation because Melchizedek and Jesus are one, and they have not changed. Even though the earthly priesthood has faded away, we still bring our tithe to Jesus.

Tithing isn’t a side note in Scripture. It runs through the covenants, from Abraham’s promise, to Moses’ process, to Jesus’ covenant that gives us the power to obey and then to share the blessing. Tithing isn’t merely an Old Testament command; it is clearly addressed in the New Testament.

God is not against you having things; He is against things having you. There are over 2,500 Scriptures that speak about money. Together, they reveal five clear truths: God wants us to prosper and is able to help us prosper. God wants us to enjoy Him and enjoy His blessings. God is generous, and He wants us to be generous. God does not want us living in debt or bondage. God wants us to work hard an...
