		<description><![CDATA[White collar workers punch in at 8 o’clock and punch out at 5. In between they have a routine set of responsibilities, most of which revolve around managing people who are responsible for tasks. Blue collar workers are also punching the clock but spend their days producing very tangible results that directly correlate to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had two conversations recently that caused me to consider a question: Are pastors blue collar workers or are pastors white collar workers?  The question first came in a conversation with a mentee who was concerned maybe he doesn’t put in enough “time” at his job. As I was talking to him I figured out that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many pastors and other staff leaders spend a great deal of their time working in the church, sometimes at the expense of working on the church. Summertime often provides opportunity for sabbaticals from preaching, teaching, or other responsibilities. The result is margin to work on the church.

		<description><![CDATA[For many people, summertime means vacation, traveling, relaxed schedules, and a break from the regular routine. For churches this can mean volunteer leaders are taking a break, taking a step back, or just simply not present as often. Our natural response to this is typically to put programs and activities on “cruise control.” But, summer [...]]]></description>
