No margin, no ministry. It’s one of the most common obstacles people face in the halftime season of life. How do you practically go about eliminating things from life so you have the extra time, energy, and money to re-deploy toward things you care most about?   The pathway is to get clear, then get free and then just get going… and as you get going you gain even more clarity which helps you get even more free.   It sounds simple – but putting it into practice may not be […]

Two Halftime Alumni bringing hope to people in isolation. Our culture is under siege. Isolation and economic collapse are weighing heavily on many people around the globe as isolation leads to mental wellness challenges and the current state of the economy pushes millions into unemployment, eventually leading to financial hardship. But in the midst of crisis, there is always hope. Halftime Alumni are uniquely equipped to respond to these converging needs in times of crisis. This timely webinar is part of a series in which we will ask fruitful […]

Many Halftime Alumni are deeply invested in businesses, nonprofits, and ministries that are struggling today as a result of the current crisis. As social entrepreneurs, business owners, and board members, many are facing unexpected layoffs, forfeiting incomes, and other cost-cutting measures to survive and carry on with producing valuable (and in many cases faith-focused) work. Do you find yourself facing these challenges or others like them? Are you asking how to best navigate so that you make it through to the other side even stronger? Please join us on […]

Please join us on THURSDAY, APRIL 16 at 7:00PM CT for a 30-minute webinar.  From local charities and churches to the world’s largest non-governmental organizations (NGOs), most – if not all – nonprofits are struggling today as a result of the current crisis. Reduced funding, work-from-home restrictions, and workforce limitations put significant pressure on their ability to stay mission focused: serving others to meet various needs. As one of the world’s largest NGOs, World Vision finds itself fighting the same battles many of us are facing as leaders today – but on […]

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 […]
