In 25 years of ministry and 30 years of leadership, I have seen a great deal. I have experienced many incredible moments of God moving, moving through leaders, organizations, and also experienced being outcast and oppressed from leaders and their organizations for saying no to them. Prior to Covid, I have only asked two people…

Introduction The Sound of Leadership by Dr. Jules Glanzer is analogous to a ‘little black book’ for leadership.

Books find me. It’s happened since I was a child. Whether it’s a book I stumble upon at a library, a recommendation by a friend, or in this case, a book assigned for a weekly doctoral reading, I often find that a book I’m reading will speak to a specific problem I’m facing in a…

I was blessed with the opportunity to attend a leadership cruise this week and I can hear the waves breaking behind the boat as I type this blog post. There is a consistent rhythm in the rear of the ship where my room is, like a peaceful song looping repeatedly – offering instant joy and…

“How many of you think that you are God’s favorite?” What I thought was an easy, playful opening to my sermon was more revealing than I could’ve imagined.

I was listening to a top 100 pop radio station while driving with Anya the other day when I made a comment that anyone who is unfamiliar with what they’re listening to might make: “ew, music just isn’t as good as it used to be”. We switched stations and a song from “our time” (which…

Through this program we are transformed into well differentiated leaders. We no longer are reactive emotionally but respond in a professional precise way. To be apart of the solution and not add to the problem. I am a little challenged by Peterson. I have great respect for his education, and to be willing to ask…

When I was a member of another church there were times that the pastor (our leader) would read Psalms 150. When he would get to the verses that read: Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments…

“Listen. See. Learn. Do. Love. Five words, like the chromatic scale in music, are the leadership notes upon which all God-honoring, kingdom-seeking, biblically rooted leadership activity is built. The sound of leadership repeatedly plays these tones, creating a song for all to enjoy.”[1] The Sound of Leadership Jules Glanzer, in his book, The Sound of…

Introduction I had never heard of DO-RE-MI Leadership before, thanks to Dr. Glanzer and his Sound of Leadership. “All music is a series of sound waves filling the air from these tones. God-honoring, kingdom-seeking, biblically rooted leadership has a scale too.”[1] Jesus drew me to my knees through the beautiful sounds of music. Living in…

Less than two minutes was all it took. I was at a women’s retreat and they had just started worship. The sound was so bad that I did not even have the time to put in my earplugs. I ran out into the hallway, but it was too late. I could feel the migraine coming…

The search for Truth has been at the center of war, politics, religion, science, technology, art and most of the conflict that our world has experienced over millennia. In this sense, it extends far beyond the philosophical realm into the very fabric of our lives. Stephen Hicks, Professor of Philosophy at Rockford University, sets out…

“Lloyd powerfully joins a growing and urgent literature on the relationship among civic ideals, political and social morality, racial identity, and the emotions. I suspect Black Dignity will quickly become a fixture in conversations concerning visions of America against the backdrop of racial violence and inequity.”—Christopher J. Lebron, author of The Making of Black Lives…
