Before anyone thinks I’m about to slam Walmart greeters, I’m not. I go to the Walmart by my house almost three times a day (it seems) and know most of the greeters there by name. I think they are great people and do a fine job. Here’s what I’ve noticed though and what church greeters need to be on guard [...]

It’s impossible to connect the dots looking forward but you can always connect them looking back. Today, I can look back over the past two days and connect the dots and see how God was at work. Two nights ago I received a message via Facebook from someone that is simply a “Facebook friend”. In the message he asked me [...]

If you happen to be one of the people that read my blog then you have probably noticed that I haven’t posted anything over the holidays. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to it’s just that I’ve been so busy. At least that’s what I’ve been telling myself. I then considered the alternative. Maybe I’m just lazy. Lazy? Not me. [...]

A few weeks back I had the chance to hear Dr. Larry Osborne, pastor of North Coast Church in San Diego county, speak several times at the RightNow Conference. I also had the chance to ask him a few questions about small groups as well. If you’re trying to figure out who he his you may know him as the [...]

 I’ve been slacking big time on posting anything this week because it’s been one of those crazy busy weeks. Today while I was driving and listening to the radio I heard a story about all of the uproar caused by the atheist group that is going to run ads in four transit buses in Fort Worth starting next week.

I came across this article on Relevant Magazine’s website completely by accident. I started off reading a post on churchmarketingsucks.com and then another, then ended up clicking on a link, and bam! there it was. I’m a big believer in, and user of, social media, primarily Facebook and Twitter. I’ve made some great connections, reconnected with several old friends, and [...]

When I wrote my first book in 2005, I wanted to be the next Zig Ziglar. I had no idea that over the next five years in addition to speaking for Zig and his employees (“Bobby Minor brought a message that opened my eyes in a significant way.” ~Zig Ziglar, Motivational Speaker and Author”) three times as a result of [...]

In case you’ve never heard the name Kemmons Wilson, don’t worry, you’re probably not alone. Wilson was the founder of the Holiday Inn chain of hotels. Wilson initially came up with the idea after a family road trip to Washington, D.C., during which he was disappointed by the quality and consistency provided by the roadside motels of that era. The [...]

We all have expectations. It’s a way of life. If you are a pastor or church leader you deal with expectations everyday. The expectations of your people, your staff, other leaders, and even yourself. It’s good to have expectations but I want to challenge you to keep them in perspective. We all want to grow and get big as fast [...]

Here’s a list of all of my tweets for the week. The idea just came to me to post them on here weekly as a summary of all that had my attention. Read them and let me know if you think what had my attention was worthwhile or a waste of time. Be honest…don’t be scared. bobbyminor We’re called to [...]
