In most cases, I have provided the resource link for the series from which a post is taken. Just click on the title to read the post. There are also podcasts for most of the posts. To listen to the podcast, click on the title, and scroll down the post to the podcast link.
1. 8 Qualities of Shepherd-Leaders. This has been the most-read post for several years. It is also the all-time-most-read-post on biblicalleadership.com, with over 60,000 views and counting. It is part 6 of the series “Reclaiming Leadership.”
2. The Dangers of Yeast is the second most-read post in 2022. I have wondered whether people might be attracted to the title for reasons unrelated to what this post is about. It examines the ‘here and now’ implications of the ancient Festival of Unleavened Bread in the series “Festivals of the LORD: Celebrating God’s Grace.”
3. Arguing with God is the first post in the series, also titled “Arguing with God.” This has been a popular series on a topic we might be afraid to broach in “polite church” company.
