Examples of Destiny In Bloom

I’ve been inspired by some incredible ladies. What makes them incredible is that, from the outside looking in, they’re completely normal; but they write with utter abandon, complete transparency and total authenticity. This is a group of women who are leading through the reflection of Jesus in their lives. My own bride is one of these lady bloggers and I couldn’t be more proud.

As a man, I’m inspired to live my life more fully for Jesus. Now to learn to open up – even more – on my own blog.

Thanks for the leadership, ladies. You truly are examples of Destiny In Bloom.

Culture Always Wins

I may be just old enough to remember this, but there used to be commercials from E.F. Hutton that said “When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen.” Today, one of the guys that has quickly earned that reputation with me is Allan Kelsey, a former pastor who now consults with churches and organizations.

I first met Allan at Gateway Church where we both serve on a leadership advisory group for one of the ministries of the church. He said something profound in that meeting that impacted me: “Culture always wins.” In just one meeting, I knew this was a guy I’d like to get to know and made a point of connecting with him frequently afterward!

I tend to resonate with only a few people; it’s an instant connection that just happens on rare occasion. Allan is one of those people. I’m promoting him on my blog because I believe so strongly in his leadership and authority that I want my church friends to know about him and his company, Leading Leaders.

Here’s a snippet from his website that I believe authentically summarizes his work:

“Leading Leaders’ primary focus is to create dramatically improved performance and life satisfaction for people, by helping them understand who they are first and then where they are gifted. Then turning those abilities into their strongest contribution to the world, work, passions and life.”

I recommend following Allan on Twitter: (@AllanKelsey) and subscribing to his E-Newsletter. He can help your church understand how to leverage the talents and unique identity & gifting of your staff. He’s someone I listen to – I recommend you do the same.
