Kairos: Trusting God’s Perfect timing
Kairos – God’s Perfect Timing There is something deeply comforting about knowing that God is not bound by our clocks or calendars.

Kairos refers to the appointed time, the divine moment, the God-ordained intersection where His will unfolds exactly as it should. We find a beautiful reflection of this in Ecclesiastes 3:1,…

The Power of Connection in a Remote World
The Power of Connection in a Remote World In today’s fast-paced, digital-first environment, the concept of connection has never been more relevant. As Mark Cole highlighted in Minute with Maxwell, the difference between being remote and feeling isolated comes down to how well we stay connected.

Maxwell reminds us that growth is possible—even if we start off struggling in a certain area, with persistence and a willingness to learn, we can improve. His story is proof that recognizing our weaknesses is the first step to becoming stronger leaders.…
