This Valentine's Day, get ready to be bombarded with images of love. Every TV show, tune you hear on the radio, and person you see in passing, will be giving their thoughts on love and romance.
Jesus did, too.
He told his 12 disciples in John 13:34, "A new command I give you: Love one another as I have loved you."
What is 'new' about the command? That they should love how Jesus loved. How did He love?
LEADERSHIP BLOG #15: “the enslaved leader”
by TJ Marrow
Leaders are not servants, or so it would it seem that way. A leader is in charge or elevated above other people where everyone is looking at him or her. Why would the leader be serving? It is how things are and how things should be…not really.

Jesus.
LEADERSHIP BLOG #14: “under the influence”
When you look up to someone you tend to be influenced by the things they do- whether it is the way you communicate, your work ethic, your attitude toward others or the way you handle a problem.

We are all busy people. Between school, family, sports, theater, friends, Facebook, church, work, chores, volunteering, sleep, food, and more Facebook, we are all living 30-hour days.
Who has the time to stop and pray?
LEADERSHIP BLOG #12: “Leaders Follow.”
by Morgan Moore
Thus far in your life, you have probably seen your fair share of bad leaders.
They are the types who only care about themselves and their own goals; they manipulate others for their own gain, or they delegate a task only to micromanage the entire process. These types of leaders aren’t only bad at being a leader, but they are also really bad at being a follower.
