Life with Attitude, by Harold Bullock

A high-performance team! A community that really cares! These groups sound like opposites—but they actually have several things in common. Members of each group keep on making certain types of choices. In this book you will discover seven attitudes of the heart that, when put into practice, can lead to high performance teams and to caring communities. Of these attitudes, the first four deal with personal relationships and the last three attitudes with relating in an organization. Whether you are concerned about your family, your work team or your church or ministry organization, the Biblical principles that you discover in the daily readings will give key insights into building unity, strengthening esprit de corps and moving forward in life.

Attitudes of Success, by Randal Lanthripe

In the pages of the Bible, one discovers that our attitudes toward people, goals and circumstances determine, to a great degree, the level of real and lasting success we enjoy. The Attitudes of Success found in the pages of Scripture are the focus of this book. The aim of this book is to help you to intentionally adopt the mental framework that brings God’s blessing. There are 30 daily readings that look at these attitudes from various angles to help us adopt this valuable framework. This book can be used with the movie, "Sometimes It's Funny" to enhance discussion in groups.

Sometimes It's Funny - Companion DVD for Attitudes of Success

Sometimes it’s Funny follows Zack and Al, two stand-up comedians, as they pull material for their acts from events in their lives. Along the way they discover that sometimes it's funny... and sometimes the joke is on them. Their very different approaches to career and relationships highlight the importance of our attitudes in shaping our success. This movie can be used along with the book Attitudes of Success by Randal Lanthripe. The DVD includes a series of clips to facilitate use of the movie in a discussion group setting.

2011 Wisdom Conference - Building Wealth God’s Way

The advantages of money are fairly clear to most of us. Less obvious, however, are the secrets to accumulating wealth. In this conference we will detail the Bible's sane, God-given guidelines for how to build wealth.

Trouble is a part of life. However, when trouble suddenly erupts, many people panic, react foolishly. They can quickly destroy the resources that they have built over years. Or, on the verge of achieving great results, they may become discouraged and abandon the very things that will bless them in the future. In the second part of the conference, we will look at what the Bible says about how to deal effectively with serious problems.

5 key roots to problems that keep cropping up in church life—and ways to shrink the roots.

2010 How Church Works Conference - Consumer 2 Commando

Consumer 2 Commando: Raising Up Leaders in a "Me" World
Consumers build their lives around themselves. Soldiers build their lives around a mission. Consumers look for the best deal for the least cost. Soldiers will endure a raw deal: for the sake of the mission, they are willing to suffer. Consumers do what they want. Soldiers do what their commander wants (2 Tim 2:3-4). Ours is now a "consumer" society. Its people join a church with a "what's in it for me" mentality.

How can "me-oriented" people be turned into spiritual warriors and spiritual leaders? Consumer 2 Commando will look at the processes by which that can happen.

2007 How Church Works Conference - Systems Thinking

SYSTEMS THINKING: Decisions Without Disasters

Leading in church life means dealing with at least four layers of "systems." Most leaders are aware of the organizational system and try to lead in such a way that all facets of the organization work together well. However, three more layers of systems underlie the organizational system and impact it. Trouble often rises out of them to undermine the work of the organization. This conference looks all four systems and how they interact with each other. It lays out guidelines for dealing with each in order to enable leaders better foresee problems and make more effective decisions.
