I was the founding pastor of that church in 1982. Pastor Rick Paladin has done a great job leading the church for a number of years now. I spoke there for their anniversary service. Pastor Rick asked me to specifically speak on 2 Timothy 2:2, “The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust t

Increase Capacity, pt3 Leadership in Context with Keith Tucci Episode 212 SHOW NOTES Increasing your capacity is using your capacity to the fullest. 1. Convictions The edge of your leadership is built on convictions. Convictions override feelings. Convictions cause you to do things that you don’t feel like doing because they are the right thing to do. Convictions put something in you that sentence you to a certain lifestyle. Are there any convictions in your life that have go

SHOW NOTES Increase Capacity, pt2 Leadership in Context with Keith Tucci Episode 211 Increased capacity is using the capacity you have—it’s that simple. 2 Timothy 4:13 When you come, bring the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments. Paul is in jail, waiting to be executed. There are 9 verses that follow, about 130 words, and then we never hear from him again. Winter is coming, so he asked that his coat be brought to him, some books,

If you are going to increase your capacity, you have to take advantage of what you already have. People tend to complain about what they don’t have, but they don’t fill up what they do have. The greatest mark of a leader is that a leader leads himself.

SHOW NOTES Increase Capacity, pt1 Leadership in Context with Keith Tucci Episode 210 Capacity is a buzz word in a lot of leadership circles. How do you increase your capacity? How do you use your capacity? Are you operating at your fullest capacity? Capacity is what you can take hold of, what you can handle. Over 15 years ago, I lived in the country in an old farm house that I had added onto. On that property, there was a building that I converted to a home that we used for m

Capacity is what you can take hold of, what you can handle. Increasing your capacity doesn’t mean you have to get a new talent. It means you have to use the talents you have more effectively. For leaders, the key way to drill down is learning the power of “yes” and “no.” If you say no to the right things, you’ll be able to say yes to the right things—that increases your capacity.

SHOW NOTES Vision Considerations, pt3 Leadership in Context with Keith Tucci Episode 209 Vision Ownership Vision ownership is the root of how you breed vision. Great vision bearers are not necessarily dynamic personalities, but they have a dynamic plan and invite people to go there with them. In vision ownership, you have to be saturated with the vision yourself. It has to get down inside of you. When I took over the leadership of NRP 2.5 years ago, our apostolic team laid ha

SHOW NOTES Vision Considerations, pt2 Leadership in Context with Keith Tucci Episode 208 Vision Integration Integration means making things one. If things aren’t integrated, they aren’t speaking the same language. When integrated, everyone and every ministry is on the same page. The Church is described in Scripture as a body. We have many parts, and those parts are required to work together. When those parts work together, we have health. When those parts do not work together

The Church is described in Scripture as a body. We have many parts, and those parts are required to work together. When those parts work together, we have health. When those parts do not work together, we have dis-ease. Vision integration is vital to all of the parts working together.

SHOW NOTES Vision Considerations, pt1 Leadership in Context with Keith Tucci Episode 207 One of the first huge mistakes people make in communicating vision is to overcomplicate it. The clearer, more obvious, easier it is to grasp, the better chance you have of your vision coming to pass. It is easier to increase a vision than it is to get somewhere and have to shrink vision. Vision used to never be talked about, and now it is talked about all the time. But sometimes when you

The clearer, more obvious, easier it is to grasp, the better chance you have of your vision coming to pass. It is easier to increase a vision than it is to get somewhere and have to shrink vision. Vision used to never be talked about, and now it is talked about all the time. But sometimes when you talk about things a lot, you don’t define things clearly and everyone leaves the room with their own definition. Vision is your preferred future. It is your destination.

SHOW NOTES How to Endure, pt2 Leadership in Context with Keith Tucci Episode 206 How do people you admire—in Scripture, in history, in your life—endure? What is the secret to endurance? It’s important to understand these things or we will fall into the trap of thinking that others can endure because they are wired a certain way or tougher than we are. There are things we can learn from others that can be replicated. We are all called to endurance. We are all called to finish

When in a season where you have to endure, identify what the enemy is trying to take, and fight back, refuse to be separated, do not neglect your commitments and patterns, and lastly, get refreshed and stay refreshed. This is how you plow your way through the land mines that are happening around you. God wants you to endure. He doesn’t want you to just make it through. He wants you to be prosperous and effective.

SHOW NOTES How to Endure, pt1 Leadership in Context with Keith Tucci Episode 205 Endurance is a part of life. Endurance is a mark of a disciple, a follower of Jesus Christ. In 1 Peter, Peter is writing to people who are about to experience persecution. He is prophetically preparing them. 1 Peter 1:6 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials... Peter is not saying that trials are pleasant or even t

Endurance is a part of life. Endurance is a mark of a disciple, a follower of Jesus Christ.

We ought to be gospel detectives that unveil the mystery of God.

The disciples are asking Jesus a question ab

Twice in Revelation, the word “mystery” is ascribed to the great harlot. Once in Revelation it is ascribed to the churches. Once in 2nd Thessalonians, it’s ascribed to the mystery of lawlessness. There is a difference between a mystery and a secret. A secret
