Naturally, our hearts are drawn to making a difference in our own community – particularly in times of crisis. But we may easily tire of the constant request for funding, especially when we feel that we have so much more to offer. The idea of writing a check for meals or funding rent for a family about to be evicted is a privilege, but it’s not leveraged.    David Weekley is Chairman of one of the largest privately owned home builders in the US, David Weekley Homes. When he encountered his

Please join us on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29 at 8:30AM CT for a 30-minute webinar.  How can you prepare for the next season, post-coronavirus? What have you learned and what are the implications? What did Jesus say that might help you navigate the days ahead? Bob Buford, the founder of Halftime Institute, boiled his life mission down to fit on a T-shirt: 100X. The concept comes from a parable Jesus told about the soil (Mark 4). He taught us to view our life like soil– soil that has the potential to produce 100X yield. Bob Buford wanted to prepare the soil of his life to allow

To say that this season has been disruptive may feel like an understatement. Most businesses, ministries, and individuals have been forced to make difficult decisions. What to stop doing, who to let go – now, when to re-open? It’s much like pruning. Halftime Institute Alumni around the world are leading some of the most critical, compassionate and impactful organizations serving quite literally millions of people – and we wonder: How could this pruning be part of God’s bigger plan? Could it be that our best years of impact are

This episode is part of our special webinar series on Using Your Platform For Good In Crisis.   If you are the parent of a Young Adult (18-35), or have a parent-like relationship with a Young Adult, you can likely relate to the challenges and opportunities for connecting with them as your role shifts from “authority” to “guide”.   During this disruptive season, many Young Adults are wrestling with the first large-scale crisis of their adult lives. This gives Halftimers a unique opportunity to provide wisdom, perspective, and guidance – but

Please join us on THURSDAY, MAY 28 at 8:30AM CT for a 30-minute webinar.  We need people around us to finish well. The people we surround ourselves with and the books we read shape who we become. So, have you considered these questions as you've pursued your next season of impact? Who are the people you need around you on this journey to finish well? Who are the people you love the most and how can you help them thrive on this journey? How can you include them in your exploration now? You’ve

This episode is part of our special webinar series on Using Your Platform For Good In Crisis.   If you find yourself in a season of exploring what’s next, and looking back you see that you were driven to success, this short 30 minute webinar will help you explore how the pain of your past might be driving you, and how that can be transformed into purpose.   Success is often driven by pain. Pain of feeling like we could never measure up to someone’s expectations. The pain of childhood poverty.

There is a difference between financial independence and financial freedom.  If you are wrestling with the question how much is enough?, take a moment and ask yourself, “In a few words, what does money mean to me?” If you are married, ask your spouse to answer this question, too.  If the word ‘freedom’ surfaced, with accompanying words like ‘lifestyle, security, control, influence, travel, leisure’ … then mark your calendar for this helpful conversation. In this 30-minute webinar Ron Blue, Founder of Kingdom Advisors, CEO of Ron Blue Institute, and Halftime Alum, will join Lloyd Reeb and Doug Piper to discuss five fundamental questions for financial freedom.
