A The Way Reflection on 1 Samuel 9–15 There are leaders who fail because they rebel openly against God.And then there are leaders who fail because they never learned how to fully obey Him. Saul belongs to the second group. Saul did not grow up in a season of spiritual stability. Israel itself was fragmented. The tabernacle at Shiloh had fallen silent. The Ark rested offstage. Worship took place on hills instead of at the center. The priesthood had been discredited, and the people were tired of waiting. Fear pressed in from outside, impatience brewed within.

Main Scripture: “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” — Proverbs 13:20 (NIV) When Rehoboam became king, he stood at a crossroads. The people asked him to lighten the heavy burdens his father Solomon had placed on them. Rehoboam did something smart at first—he asked the elders, leaders who had seen victories and failures up close. Their advice was simple: serve the people, speak kindly, and you’ll earn their loyalty. But then Rehoboam turned away from that wisdom.

A New Year Reflection | The Way Every New Year carries a quiet question: What now, Lord?Scripture gives us a powerful answer through one of the most meaningful transitions in biblical history—the passing of leadership from Moses to Joshua. Moses’ season was ending. Joshua’s was beginning. Yet God’s purpose remained steady. Moses had faithfully led the people out of bondage, through the wilderness, and into covenant identity. Joshua would lead them forward—across the Jordan and into the Promised Land. This moment reminds us that while seasons change, God does not. As we stand at the threshold of a New Year,…

By Dr. Kevin HallThe Way – Walking Faithfully in Leadership Ethical leadership is rarely tested when conditions are ideal. It is tested when people are tired, under pressure, dissatisfied, or feeling unseen. The real question is not whether leaders face hardship—but how they respond when they do. Consider this true-to-life case. A Cautionary Story Brown’s Shoe Store was a successful specialty retail brand serving urban communities. Its appeal rested on trendy footwear and competitive prices. One of the ways the company maintained affordability was by keeping payroll lean—meaning salaries sat on the lower end of the market. One evening, a…

❖ THE WAY — Christmas Apologetics & Reflection ❖ Seeing Christ in History, Humility, and the Human Heart “While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born.”— Luke 2:6 Honoring a Faithful Voice Each Christmas season, I return to a message that has deeply shaped my thinking and preaching—John MacArthur’s The People Who Missed Christmas. Dr. MacArthur has been a teacher, mentor-from-a-distance, and one of the pastoral voices I grew up listening to. His clarity, conviction, and commitment to Scripture have left a lasting mark. This message is offered in that spirit—not as imitation, but as…

Celebrating the legacy of Dr. John MacArthur – From his message entitled “The People who missed Christmas.” Featured Scripture “…there was no room for them in the inn.” — Luke 2:7 Bethlehem throbbed with noise the night Christ came. A census had swelled the population beyond anything the small Judean village could bear. Travelers pressed into every corner, merchants shouted over one another, families scrambled for space, and the air pulsed with exhaustion. At the center of this frenzy stood an innkeeper—overworked, overwhelmed, and probably frustrated. When Joseph and Mary appeared asking for lodging, they were not the first, and…

Christmas Edition · Devotional 1 Luke 1:30–31“Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God… You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” Entering the Scene as a Leader Before there was a manger, shepherds, or wise men… there was a moment of calling. A young woman, quietly living her life, suddenly found herself invited into God’s greatest redemptive assignment.Mary’s story begins not with greatness—but with availability. And that is where every leader’s story begins too. Leadership is rarely birthed in comfort.It begins in disruption, in divine interruptions, and in…

Scene 1: The Promise of a Messiah – The Angel Visits Mary Luke 1:30–31“But the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God.You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.’” Entering the Scene Imagine being a teenager in a quiet village, doing everyday tasks, when suddenly heaven breaks into your world.That’s Mary. Young. Unknown. Ordinary. But chosen. For hundreds of years, Israel waited for a Messiah—someone who would break oppression, restore hope, and bring salvation. Every family prayed, “Lord, let the Messiah come.” But no…

Educational Leadership Series — The Way Bahamas (Based on my Community Presentation Plan for Palm Beach Lakes High School) After analyzing a diverse, high-needs U.S. high school community, I discovered that communication—not curriculum—is often the root of chronic absenteeism, low achievement, and fractured trust. In this feature, I explore those insights and apply them to The Bahamas and Caribbean school systems. Introduction — A School Struggling to Be Heard When I began analyzing the Palm Beach Lakes High School (PBLHS) community, I expected to focus mostly on academic challenges and student performance. Instead, something else emerged with startling clarity: Communication—not…

Educational Leadership Series — The Way Bahamas Parents bring their lived experiences—sometimes painful—into the schoolhouse. In this feature, I explore how stereotype threat, racial profiling, and cultural memory shape parental expectations of teachers, and how Caribbean educators can respond with empathy, cultural competence, and leadership. Introduction — A Conversation Behind the Conversation When I first examined this case study, what struck me most was the power of a single parental story. During a classroom conference, a mother described an early childhood experience of being racially profiled while shopping with her own mother. Although years had passed, the emotional residue of…
