You Got Mail...For Thanksgiving - #6488
We're pretty good at thinking of things we don't like about someone. But something good happens in your heart when you make yourself sit down and you start writing about that person's strengths, and their contributions to your life, to others' lives. And something good happens in their life when they get your gratitude in a letter. You are indeed building them up.

How Not to Be a Scary Giant - #6384
The Good News has to be delivered from across from the person, not above the person. See, most of us don't realize we have to come down to their level. Not to do what they do, but to let them know that this is a sinner who's talking to them; a sinner just as in need of saving.

Communicate your message effectively so others will own it
Simon Sinek offers a vital insight into effective communication in an 18-minute TED lecture. Why do some people communicate better or achieve more than others? This presentation deserves analysis and discussion by pastors, leadership teams, or mission advocates. It's not about 'selling products', though that is one illustration he uses. It's about communicating ideas from 'inside out', in such a way that people will own them.
