Friday’s List | January 27

Every Friday I post a short list of the things I’m reading, listening to, loving and wrestling with:

Here’s what I’m reading right now:

7 Ways To Live Out The Gospel In A Post-Truth, Post-Fact Culture by Carey Nieuwhof. As always this is great and a must-read.

Top 5 Benefits of the Small Group Network by Judy Colegrove

4 Practical Ways to Cultivate a Creative Church by Tony Morgan.

John Maeda on Creative Leadership, Talking vs. Making, and Why Human Relationships Are a Work of Craftsmanship by Maria Popova (HT Tim Stevens).

Beyond the E-Myth: The Evolution of an Enterprise: From a company of 1 to a company of 1000 by Michael E. Gerber. When you listen to Rick Warren or Andy Stanley, they will tell you about the role Michael Gerber’s E-Myth played in their organizational thinking. This is Gerber’s latest version (and it’s on sale for $1.99 in the Kindle!).

Here’s what I’m listening to:

Dave Evans on the Catalyst Podcast: Design Your Life. I listened to this again, it was so good.

The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Performance by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. I’m testing out Audible for absorbing an additional book every month.

Quote I’m wrestling with:

“What’s the one thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?” Gary Keller, The One Thing

App I’m using:

I’m committed this year to increasing my effectiveness. Nozbe is a leading productivity app. First heard about it from Michael Hyatt. It’s already making a big difference.

My own post I hope you’re reading:
