Lynch on Leadership: New Year’s Day is mark for measurement. We tend to look at summarizations of the previous term. Reports are generated for various reasons because the turn of the year is a marker. So, leaders should embrace this opportunity to analyze the available data. Every goal must be measurable to have real meaning. […]

People and Process, Part 2
Leaders make decisions and solve problems. These aspects of leadership operate in tandem. At whatever level a person makes decisions, they solve problems. To what the reach of influence a person’s leadership extends, their decision-making and problem-solving also extends. Beware the leadership fumble that wishes to make decisions and hire or appoint others to solve […]
People and Process, Part 1
Lynch on Leadership: Leaders make decisions and solve problems. As simple as that sounds, most leadership successes and failures can be analyzed by these fundamentals. For most leaders, these foundation stones are expressed in people and processes so that things get done, goals get fulfilled, and mission gets accomplished. In this same way, these touchstones […]
The Next Seven Years, Part 2
If you don’t know where God wants you in seven years, you may be having a difficult time knowing what to do right now. Clarity of purpose is fundamental to fulfilling calling and destiny. Clarity of purpose will produce passion for purpose and serve as a basis for cutting off distractions and eliminating substitutes. Long […]
The Next Seven Years
I like to ask people who are leaders about their sense of purpose. I ask, “Where will your be in five years?” This usually stumps 98% of the people with whom I talk about ministry and leadership. Some are a bit perplexed because their sense of “living by faith” doesn’t include long range goals or […]
Word for Brasil Entering 2014
Word for Brasil Entering the New Year Any strategy for Brasil must be international in its level of spiritual authority and power if it is to properly represent God in Brasil and represent God to other nations. God tested Israel with no water once again. Numbers 20: “The whole company arrived at the Wilderness of […]
Understanding Dreams: Simple Conclusions
Dreams from God are awesome! The way He reveals things in dreams often involves code. Often, the dream produces intense feelings and thoughts. However, dreams are often very simple in their messages, and the tendency to complicate them by making the details “walk on all fours” can put God dreams out of reach. Most of […]
The Pioneering Spirit, Part 4
Beware the tendency of the enemies of pioneering to glamorize previous pioneers. At the same time, beware the tendency of the enemies of pioneering to demonize previous pioneers. The enemies of pioneering, and the pioneering spirit, marginalize this foundation of leadership in more than one way, in other words. Turning pioneers into super heroes or […]
The Pioneering Spirit, Part 3
Paul and Barnabas Barnabas and Paul walked together because Barnabas went and got Paul when no one else had a level of trust in Paul’s salvation experience. They walked together for years, it seems, and when they ministered together as representatives of the Jerusalem Ecclesia and council of apostolic leaders, they were on the same […]
The Pioneering Spirit, Part 2
Pioneering after Pentecost Many believers get a message of community from the conditions and behaviors they observe in the Early Church after Pentecost. That is not the message that dominates the landscape of the Ecclesia. The message that dominates the landscape screams pioneering. For example, the response of giving that is interpreted as communal is […]
The Pioneering Spirit
Jesus is our Pioneer. The NIV uses this term to translate Hebrews 12:2 with reference to running the race set before us. That is, to finishing the course that He designed and defined by His own pursuit of purpose. “Looking to Jesus, the Pioneer.” Pioneering isn’t something that fades into the setting sun as bygone […]
David the Sheepherder in the Valley of Giants, Part 4
Saul sits in his tent. The squeak of the polishing cloth, his armor bearer buffing his battlefield attire, irritates him because it reminds him that he is the one a head taller than anyone else in Israel, that he is the one the people chose to fight for them, that he is the only one […]
David the Sheepherder in the Valley of Giants, Part 3
David finds smooth stones in the valley. He carries none with him in the shepherd’s bag. Perhaps he didn’t anticipate the valley – it appears that he didn’t even know whole giant-defies-Israel scenario was going on when his father sent him to feed his critical brothers. He carried what a shepherd would carry but didn’t […]
David the Sheepherder in the Valley of the Giant, Part 2
God is showing off the preparation of David, not the giant; but Saul the king like the other nations, sees war with the eyes of the world: “You can’t face the giant because he has been preparing for battle for years. You haven’t had any preparation at all.” [Duh. Refer to previous posts about “How […]
Vetting Kingdom Leaders
“Vetting” was originally the use of the shortened term for a veterinarian applied to the action or activity associated with examining a racehorse to determine the animal’s condition prior to it participating in a race. The horse was said to have been “vetted” because of this veterinarian “OK.” In business, “vetted” means ‘a comprehensive and […]
