Resources: Leading Ideas E-Newsletter

Leading Ideas is a free biweekly electronic newsletter issued by the Lewis Center for Church Leadership. Thousands of clergy and lay leaders from across the US and around the world make use of this important leadership resource.

Leading Ideas is built around the premise that leaders don't need answers. They need to know the right questions. Each week, it features a helpful "right question," an insightful quote about the nature of leadership, and an article by Dr. Lovett H. Weems or a guest author.

Leading Ideas also includes vignettes lifting up the real-life experiences of leaders and congregations, and book reviews.
