Every major organizational initiative needs proper planning, and designing a Balanced Scorecard is no exception. Chapter three is important for those who have never attempted strategic planning before.

After two years of writing Thinking Christian I’ve recognized a need for a different blog, one whose purpose is to encourage fellow believers who want to have a real impact for Jesus Christ.
Thinking Christian has become, for the most part, an apologetically-oriented blog, a place for lively discussion about whether Christianity is true as claimed. I’m not planning to slow down on that discussion one bit. But there are topics worth thinking about among those of us who are already quite satisfied with the truth of Jesus Christ.
My “day job” is as a strategic planner for a mission agency. My inclination is, almost constantly, to write. This is a place for writings on Christian strategy. It will not always be about “how to do it,” though, for the heart of Christian strategy is the heart of the Christian.
Thanks for visiting here, early on in the life of this blog. I hope you’ll be back often.
