Lead On article by Graham Archer. Macaroni and cheese. Pen and paper. Pins and needles. Leadership and preaching. All go hand in hand, right? Perhaps not. Graham explores how different leadership and preaching actually are and how the two can effectively work together. 

Lead On article by Charles Burgess. We all have different skills and preferences, and often these can influence how we lead. Charles explores how differences amongst people in church can work together, and what we can do to recognise our practical responses.

Lead On article by Tamsin Merchant. The place we lead from affects everything we do. Tamsin explores how her experience of adopting children has led her to reflect on what it means to lead from a place of being an adopted child of God.
