		<title>Pursuing Reality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Too often, churches and ministry organizations allow themselves to be distracted by things other than the real issue.

		<description><![CDATA[Every leader knows very well that there are never enough hours in the day to invest personally in all the issues that are competing for his attention.

		<title>Nurturing the Leader’s Inner Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Romans 8, Paul contrasts the old inner life with the new inner life in Christ:

		<title>Looking at God #2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our last Letter looked at the first, and most important, element of transformational thinking: looking at God.
