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 Paul Dundas. Leaders may have heard it before but Paul gives an important reminder to not allow ourselves to be distracted from our focus on God, or how he is growing and pruning us for growth.
