		<title>What Got Us Here Won&#8217;t Get Us There, Part 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In an occasional series, we&#8217;ve been addressing the issue of insecurity in leadership. Perry Noble came out today with a great list of ways you can determine whether or not you are a leader who struggles with insecurity. Quick disclaimers: We ALL struggle with insecurity when it comes right down to it. There is only [...]]]></description>

		<title>7 Ways to Deal with &#8220;Worcations&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Can you say &#8220;worcation&#8221;? Apparently, President Obama can! In this article from Fox News, President Obama&#8217;s current vacation to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard is referred to as a &#8220;worcation&#8221;. The word is not new to our culture. UrbanDictionary.com has it in their list. I didn&#8217;t need to look it up. My hunch is that you didn&#8217;t either. [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Got Us Here Won&#8217;t Get Us There, Part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve posted on this issue of insecurity in pastor and leaders. Recently, I read something that Mark Batterson (pastor of National Community Church in Washington DC) wrote about the topic: He wrote: I think influence and insecurity are opposites.  Insecure leaders don’t hire high competence people thereby limiting their influence.  [...]]]></description>

Today, I introduce you to Scott Couchenour. You can get to know him here. I encourage you to get to know him better by following him at his blog, Twitter, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Got Us Here Won&#8217;t Get Us There</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few recent conversations with a pastor friend of mine have raised an issue that I&#8217;ve found true for my life. Maybe you can relate to it as well. My friend has been in full-time ministry as a Senior Pastor for over 30 years. He&#8217;s served in his current assignment for about 25 of those [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is There Such A Thing As Christian Pornography?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I admit the title of this post is extreme. Let&#8217;s get that out of the way right now. I think there is such a thing as Christian pornography. I could probably have thought of a better term for what I am thinking, but I suspect that many pastors will relate to what I&#8217;m saying. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Transition Plan</title>

While we don&#8217;t catch them all, we try to highlight some of the notable transitions and let you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Francis Chan Next Steps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over on the Mars Hill Church blog, an interview with Francis Chan by Mark Driscoll and Joshua Harris was posted. It&#8217;s one of the most candid interviews I think I&#8217;ve seen. Many people have wondered, &#8220;What&#8217;s Francis doing now that he&#8217;s not at Cornerstone?&#8221; This video interview answers some of that and more of &#8220;Why [...]]]></description>
