  • Some biblical thoughts on hiring personnel
    2025/06/16

    In organizations I have had the privilege of leading, I have had to make numerous hiring, firing, and promotion decisions. As a Christian, I needed to go to the Scripture to help me make biblically-sound, God-honoring decisions. If you are a Christian leader thinking about hiring somebody in your organization, I’ve got some thoughts for you on this episode of The Podcast.

    Check out the video version of this episode.

    I’ve shared a couple of other blog posts and videos about this idea of our ladder of success versus what the Bible calls success. You may want to check out:

    • An unimpressive but praiseworthy resume
    • Whose ladder?

    You can watch more videos based on Shepherd Leadership here. I would also encourage you to check out my new book When Sheep Bite.

  • A book for church and business leaders
    2025/06/12

    On a recent episode of The Craig and Greg Show, Greg noted that my book When Sheep Bite isn’t just for church leaders, but business leaders can benefit from reading this as well.

    Check out the video version of this clip.

    You can check out the full conversation Greg and I had on this episode of our leadership podcast.

    I recently shared a series of messages for all Christians about how to handle the painful bites that sometimes come from other Christians. The series was called When Sheep Bite Sheep.

    Please check out both of my books Shepherd Leadership and When Sheep Bite.

    2025/06/11

    Far from damaging or ending a relationship, a rebuke delivered in love can strengthen, enhance, and honor a relationship for years to come.

  • The Father’s business
    2025/06/09

    Jesus used more work examples to talk about the Kingdom of God than He did worship examples. He also said the Holy Spirit would teach us to work as Jesus did while we are on earth.

    Check out the video version of this sermon.

  • The Craig and Greg Show: Unity not conformity
    2025/06/05

    If you’re leading a team, then Greg and I feel pretty confident in assuming that you’ve got them all working, thinking, and behaving exactly like you work, think, and behave, right? Of course not! The differences in personality and thought within your team are what makes it special.

    Check out the video version of this episode.
