When We Sound Like Kanye West (Or How Honor Doesn’t Work)

Brian Dolleman — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 15:31:32 +0000

You’ve probably heard all about it already. Over the weekend, Kanye did another one of those Kanye things that makes him look like a self-important jerk. Quoting from The Independent: The star stopped the show in Sydney on Friday night and insisted that every member of the audience got up and danced. Kanye told the […]

Your Twitter Bio Makes Me Feel Like A Total Loser

Brian Dolleman — Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:17:57 +0000

Because I’m a pastor, I pretty regularly get followed on Twitter by other Christian leaders (that I don’t know) from all over the place. And for some reason, I receive a weekly e-mail from Twitter showing me these new followers – along with their profile picture and Twitter bio. These Twitter bios make me feel […]

The Underbelly Of (Christian) Leadership

Brian Dolleman — Wed, 11 Jun 2014 17:23:28 +0000

Several years ago, I read the book “Overcoming the Dark Side of Leadership” by Gary McIntosh and Samuel Rima. To be honest, the big idea of the book scandalized me. Basically it said, You know that thing about you that you’re known for? The thing that makes you strong and effective? That gift, strength, or […]

Things I Dislike About Ministry Pt. 3

“Work it, make it, do it—makes us harder, better, faster, stronger.” —Kanye West, Stronger I really do wish ministry was always “Work it, make it, do it—makes us harder, better, faster, stronger,” but the truth is, sometimes it’s also, “Work it, make it, do it—and we still end up with little or no progress at […]

Things I Dislike About Ministry Pt. 2

Brian Dolleman — Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:20:03 +0000

Are you interested in the full time ministry? You might want to enroll in some acting classes. There’s quite a bit of acting that goes into being a pastor or ministry leader in the church. We act like we didn’t see that movie. We act like we don’t know that Miley Cyrus / Kanye West […]

Can Spin Be Redeemed?

Brian Dolleman — Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:42:18 +0000

Can spin be redeemed? I’m not talking about the stuff that advertisers, politicians, and religion in general are pitching. The question is aimed at us. Can our spin be redeemed? Maybe I should just personalize this. Can MY spin be redeemed? I honestly don’t really know. If I asked Sister Angela, the nun my family […]
