10 Secrets of Many Senior Pastors

Ron Edmondson

I get to hang out and know many senior pastors. I have a great heart for them and understand, firsthand, some of the pressures, frustrations and joys, which are unique to the role of a senior pastor. In my recent blog survey , over half my readers are in ministry and half that number are senior leaders. I previously shared this post over a year ago after sharing these points at a conference for executive pastors.

5 Reasons Delegation Fails

Ron Edmondson

I encounter many leaders who claim to be good at delegation, but are frustrated with the results they receive on delegated projects. Of course, they often claim innocence, feeling they have done their job by delegation. The blame then naturally shifts to the delegate. The problem, however, in many cases, rests not with the delegate, but with a leader’s failure to delegate properly.

I, like many in America, am becoming a huge Tim Tebow fan. I loved this YouTube I saw my friend Jonathan Pearson tweet. It’s worth the 10 minutes. Be honest, are you a Tebow fan? No related posts.

Good Leader: Let Them See You Sweat

Ron Edmondson

Never let them see you sweat… Or, so they say… Apparently the phrase, “ Never let them see you sweat” came from a 1984 Gillette company deodorant commercial. I looked it up so I could give proper credit in this post. It’s a great phrase. When I was younger, it was a popular cultural saying in some circles. The idea was used for much more than a deodorant.

True Sayings that Are True #Wisdom

Ron Edmondson

I’m the old guy on our team, so young whipper snapper leaders like Ben Reed , Adam Bayne and Brandon Reed love to mess with me at times. Brandon loves to point me out in emails as the old guy, Adam recently squirted me with a super-soaker water gun (in front of a crowd of people), and Ben tweets funny things he thinks I say. Recently Ben Tweeted, “ Just heard @RonEdmondson say, “The reality is the reality.” #ProfoundWisdom” Punk!

If God had a Suggestion Box…

Ron Edmondson

God’s ways are not my ways…I know that’s true, but still, some days I wish He took suggestions. For example, I’d suggest: It should never rain on Mondays…. In fact, can we do away with Monday’s altogether? There should be some times where time really does stand still… Eating should be an exercise and burn calories…. Love should never fade….
