In modern Western Christianity, we have a number of words that are so commonly used that the ideas they convey have become part of our culture, are rarely questioned, and, as a result, have changed our behavior in ways that are detrimental to our spiritual growth and the growth of the Kingdom.  On top of that, they are non-biblical!           This is the first of a series on words that should be banned from Christianity.  Here's the first: "Ministry."

Goal setting is one of those hallowed practices that belong in every leader's arsenal. We've all heard that people who set goals are far more successful than those who don't.  And every well-run business has a policy and a practice of setting annual goals for its various operational departments.  And yet, there are times and situations where it may be appropriate to do something else. *********************************        Dave Kahle's goal is to provide sales leaders and small businesspeople with practical actionable ideas that can make an immediate impact on your sales performance.          Dave is a B2B sales expert, and a Christian Business thought leader.  He has authored 13 books, presented in 47 states and 11 countries and worked with over 500 sales organizations.  In these ten-minute podcasts, his unique blend of out-of-the-box thinking and practical insights will challenge and enable you to sell better, lead better and live better.        Subscribe to these ten-minute helpings of out-of-the-box inspiration, education and motivation.
