What do they got? A big team, lots of money, a strong brand, seemingly unlimited resources, panache, reputation, all that. They’re established. They’re your competitors. You want to look away, but you see them everywhere. Their ads on your social, their name in the media, your dream clients on their website. But you know what else they got? Bigger company bloat. Overflowing obligations. Narratives to uphold. Appearances to maintain. Entitlement. Too much overhead. They’re slow. They’re conservative. They talk too much. They’ve stopped taking risks. They’re resting on their laurels, gliding on their reputation. They’re on defense. What they’ve really got is a lot to lose. What do you got? Hunger. Drive. Grit. Scrappiness. Independence. You’re on offense. You don’t have enough, which is why you’re dangerous. You have no choice but to be clever and creative. To make up for what you don’t have with something they can’t have: The underdog spirit. You can move. You can adjust. You can adapt. You can get it done while they’re still stuck deciding what to do. Small is not a stepping stone. Small is not less than. It’s greater than. It’s faster than. It’s better than. Savor your position. You don’t get to be the underdog forever. The baton will be passed. But for now, it’s your magic wand. Use it. We stand with the underdogs.

In my work with ministry teams and team cultures, I've come to recognize three essential truths - both positive and negative - that have significant implications: 1. FIGHT for healthiness. 2. WORK on disfunction. 3. FLEE from toxicity.

WORK on disfunction. Let’s be honest… every team is a different flavor of disfunction. There’s no perfect teams or cultures out there. Healthy team culture is one that identifies these dysfunctions and makes a concerted effort to fix them.

FLEE from toxicity. Toxic cultures are where unhealthy and toxic behaviors are not only tolerated but celebrated. If you find yourself in a toxic culture, step out and seek a team that aligns with your values and principles.

RT @JonTyson: Asbury Outpouring tonight. Just simple devotion to Jesus. Purest thing I've witnessed in a long time. Zero hype, confession,…

The gift of encouragement is free, life-giving, and underutilized. Leaders, make sure that your team isn’t only hearing from you when something went wrong.

What really is a Communications Ministry and what's the role of a Communications Director? How do ministries best utilize and truly, come alongside our communications leaders? I hit on these topics (and more) in this conversation with Becky Ykema. anchor.fm/becky-ykema/episod…

I’ve been a long-suffering, life long Bengals fan. This week, my 7 year old son Ethan and I got to experience a memory we’ll never forget: Seeing the Bengals play their way into the Super Bowl. Pure joy. Will never forget that moment. x.com/JimIrsay/status/148853…
