Today’s Christian Executive Fellowship is underway and the room is already full of meaningful conversations, bold leadership, and Kingdom-minded encouragement.

Grateful for leaders who choose to be equipped, fortified, and encouraged alongside one another. Iron sharpens iron, but only if it actually makes contact.

“Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”
-Hebrews 10:24

We are 24 hours out!

Tomorrow morning, Laura King will lead us through a timely and necessary conversation:

Leading from the Inside Out.

Because leadership is never just about what people see on the outside. It flows from what is being formed, healed, guarded, and surrendered on the inside.

Proverbs 4:23 says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

For leaders who are building companies, carrying responsibility, leading teams, making hard calls, and trying to stay faithful in the middle of pressure, this matters.

You can have strategy, skill, and momentum and still be hollow if the heart is neglected.

Tomorrow is about slowing down long enough to let God deal with the part of leadership we cannot fake: the inner life.

Christ-centered. Rooted in Scripture. Strengthened through worship, prayer, and fellowship.

Joshua 21:45

This week you rolled it over. You listened for the next step. You led from weakness instead of pretending you had it all together.

Now it's Friday. Look back.

"Not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass."

Every meeting you walked into unsure. Every decision made with incomplete information. Every moment you chose faith over performance.

Not one word failed.

That's not a motivational finish line, that's a record. A track record that belongs to God, proven again this week in your work, your leadership, your life.

Close your laptop a little lighter tonight. The One who established your plans, directed your steps, and showed up in your weakness didn't miss a single promise.

He never does.

Have a great weekend, CEF. See you next Wednesday.

Proud to be in the room this morning.

Bethany’s Excellence in Leadership gathering brought together some sharp, faith-driven leaders – and CEF was honored to show up and support. This is exactly the kind of community we love being part of.

When Christian leaders gather to sharpen one another, something moves. That’s not a tagline – that’s what we’ve seen over and over in the Twin Cities.

Grateful for the work Bethany is doing to develop leaders who lead with conviction.

2 Corinthians 12:9

Monday you surrendered the plan. Tuesday you started walking. By Wednesday, the weight is real.

And that's exactly where God meets you.

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

Every leadership culture tells you to project strength. Hide the uncertainty. Absorb the pressure. Never let them see you sweat.

But Paul is saying the opposite. The leader who acknowledges their limits isn't failing -- they're creating the exact conditions where God's power shows up most clearly.

Your weakness isn't a liability. In the right hands, it's the whole point.

The strongest thing you can do this Wednesday is stop pretending you have it all together. CEF exists for leaders who are done performing and ready to lead from a place of genuine dependence.

Yesterday, you rolled it over. Now what?

You listen.

Isaiah 30:21
“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’”

Notice the image. The voice isn’t ahead of you, mapping out the whole plan. It’s behind you – steady, close, speaking into the next step as you move.

Executives want the full roadmap before they commit. God often gives you the next step, and the confidence to take it.

Stop waiting for the whole plan. Walk, and listen as you go.

This is exactly why we gather. Christian Executive Fellowship exists for the leader who is willing to surrender the plan, tune out the noise, and walk by faith in the middle of real decisions with real stakes. You’re not doing this alone.

Proverbs 16:3
“Commit your works to the Lord, and your plans will be established.”

Monday morning is typically a planning meeting with yourself. Priorities, goals, outcomes – all mapped before 9am. Sound like your typical Monday morning or even Sunday night?

But there’s an order problem most leaders never catch: we build the plan, then ask God to bless it. The verse flips that. Commit first. Then watch what gets established.

The word “commit” here is the Hebrew galal – literally, to roll. Roll your work onto Him. Like a burden too heavy to carry alone, you transfer the weight before you take a single step.

What would change today if you rolled it over before you picked it up?

05/15/2026

Most leadership development hands you a system and tells you to execute.

Laura King asks a different question first.
Not "what's your strategy?" But "who are you becoming?"

Her 4A Framework has guided thousands of executives through that shift. Four movements that don't just improve your leadership. They reorient it.

Awareness. Acceptance. Action. Accountability.

It starts with seeing clearly. What's actually driving you. What fears are quietly running the show. What God has been trying to get your attention about.

Then it moves. Not in giant leaps, but in what Laura calls "micro-moves." Small, deliberate, faithful steps that don't look like much from the outside but compound into something you can't ignore.

The leader who finally has that honest conversation. The one who stops performing long enough to pray. The one who says yes to the nudge they've been avoiding for two years.

That's how trajectories change.

Not in a moment. In a series of small ones.
"Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." James 2:17

May 27th. Westwood Community Church. Come ready to move.

Yesterday, Rick had the privilege of joining the Minnesota Christian Chamber of Commerce event at the Edina Galleria, and what an encouraging reminder of what happens when faith and business stop sitting in separate rooms.

We LOVE supporting local Christian organizations like the Chamber that are helping leaders across the Twin Cities build businesses with purpose, integrity, excellence, and Kingdom impact.

Because business is not just about transactions. It is about people. Stewardship. Influence. Courage. And occasionally remembering where you parked at the Galleria.

Grateful for the work being done through the Minnesota Christian Chamber and for every leader showing up to make a difference in the marketplace.

30,000 conversations.

That's not a stat. That's a life's work.

Laura King has sat across from executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders at every level. People who had built something real, achieved something meaningful, and still felt like something was missing.

She didn't hand them a framework. She listened. She asked better questions. And over time, she developed something that actually works. A way of helping leaders move from performing to becoming.

Her 4A Framework isn't theory. It's built from the trenches of real leadership conversations with real people navigating real tension between what they've built and who God's calling them to be.

Her concept of "micro-moves" are the small, faithful steps that quietly shift the trajectory of a life. The kind of insight that sounds simple until you realize you've been waiting for a massive sign when God's been nudging you all along.

This is who's in the room with us on May 27th.
If you've been waiting for the right moment to show up for something like this, this is it.
