Blackstone is more than just a country club

A TREND THAT’S NEVER OUT OF STYLE

“There’s not a better fundraising venue than golf,” said Patrick Denney, general manager at Blackstone. “It has a unique way of bringing people together for a con siderable amount of time with a unique purpose. So, people can donate their time, their money, their efforts, without really feeling like they’re doing, so it’s a fun event.“People enjoy themselves while they’re out there. Golf just has this innate ability to one bring people together and raise a significant amount of money at the same time.”

The South Scottsdale resident followed in her mother’s footsteps and became a nurse. Her instincts kicked in when her 37-year-old Goodyear firefighter husband, Cory, was diagnosed with ALS on Oct. 19, 2020, forcing him to med ically retire late last year. She took on a second job all the while making time for their blended family and Cory’s doctor’s appointments.

Kimberly Nochta is a natural caregiver. Taking care of others comes easily to the North Phoenix native, who was dubbed an “old soul” as a child.

For the guests attending and donating at these events, Denney said the response is positive. In addition, the consistent willingness to donate is im pressive.“People donate to these causes be cause one, they’re happy to do so, but two, they want to get out there and en joy the event,” he said. “So, not only is it filling an entertainment void for them, where they can come out and spend a nice morning afternoon on the golf course, so it doesn’t really feel like“Ongiving.the back end, when all these proceeds are going to these causes, combined with a charity auction, silent auction or fundraising efforts, people are more than happy to donate.”

The work that Blackstone has done to give back to the community has indirectly garnered interest for new members. To that end, Denney wel comes anyone who is willing to “be a part of something larger.”

For Denney, being able to give back to the community based out of the West Valley is a big deal for Black stone. He said representing Peoria is a huge part of what they do.

“Anytime that you can tickle some body’s sense of pride to say, ‘Hey, I want to belong to something that’s giving back to the community,’ I think I think it really attracts the type of members that we’re looking for at Blackstone,” he said. “Those that are willing not only to come into a club for the amenities and the benefits, but also want to be a part of something larger and say we can do a lot of good things here with our platform.” When deciding which charities to hold events for, Blackstone’s primary focus is to stay local. Denney said the goal is to “benefits families only in and around Maricopa County.”

“You hear a lot about these things happening in the Scottsdale clubs where there’s a lot of golf courses, there’s a lot of affluent people who are able to give and give and give,” Den ney said. “We really wanted to make our mark in the West Valley. We’re not just benefiting Arizona in general, but we’re really taking care of the people at home in Peoria. “It’s just an important place for us to establish ourselves in that communi ty, and we understand that the people who run and help with these events at Blackstone are really giving back to the community and want Peoria and the city to thrive.”

Blackstone opened its doors back in 2007, and ever since has looked to support charitable causes. Today, Den ney said there are close to 1,000 mem bers at the club, and they take pride in being a member and supporting the events Blackstone has helped put on. “They take pride in their club; it’s their home,” he said. “Even if they might not be directly involved in the planning and execution of these events, they still have a sense of pride to say that the club that I belong to is helping with these efforts.”

The Peoria Chamber of Commerce’s Third Annual First Responders Golf Tournament held in January raised more than $10,000 for Peoria first re sponders.InDecember 2021, a Toys for Tots event raised $5,980 in donations, plus 1,278 toys and 71 bikes. “We always feel like we want to give them (charities) a nod, or at least a priority, to understand their mission, understand their drive, and really see where Blackstone can fit into the picture to help raise money for these causes,” Denney said.

Denney said Blackstone is always looking for ways to help out charities trying to raise money for their own causes and will continue to do so. “Golf is a perfect vehicle for charita ble work, and we’re happy to listen to other charities out there who are look ing for a venue or who are looking for an opportunity to bolster their own ef forts,” he said. “We will always take those meetings and take those calls and see how we can help.”

“I thought it was strange,” said Cory, who played football at Phoenix College under Ron Wolfley. “It happened again and again, and then all of my toes start ed not working properly. That’s when I knew something was definitely wrong. From the many different tests I had, we ruled out everything. I made sure that they weren’t going to miss anything.

Inspired by their service careers, the couple advocated for a correct diagno sis for Cory. “I think it helps that we have a medi cal background,” Kimberly said. “Not everyone goes into appoint ments like that. Cory had a fairly quick diagnosis. Some people spend years and have multiple surgeries before they find out it’s ALS. It’s a tough diagnosis to get. It’s by exception.” A cure isn’t available for ALS, but Cory has stem cells infused monthly to slow the progression. It worked initial ly, but Kimberly said she’s not sure it’s making a difference now. The disease is fatal, but doctors give Nochta hope.

“They’ve been helping us from the time I was diagnosed to now trying to help raise money,” he said slowly. “The guys and gals I worked with are incredible.”Goodyear firefighter Michael Gugel, who lives in Peoria, went through the academy with Cory in 2018, and that’s when he met Kimberly. “She’s always been like the fun mom,” Gugel said with a laugh. “A lot of us were a little bit younger who were getting hired. We could call Cory ‘dad’ as a joke. She would come in and she’d always take care of us. She has a very sweet personality and is very giving of her time. She’s a labor and delivery nurse. She works there most of the time. “Then she picked up a second job as a mobile IV person. She’s the light behind the scenes. She’s taking care of Cory. She’s always positive. She nev er gets down — even when the times are hard. She’s never once complained. She’s never once felt sorry for herself. They always have the most positive outlook on everything. They have tons of support and love.” She rarely asks for help either, Gu gel said. The family is trying to save more than $150,000 to purchase a van to transport Cory when he needs a power chair. So far, the Arizona Cardinals and Desert Financial Cred it Union donated a total of $25,000.

“We help families after a tragedy,” Harrolle said. “But our hope is that fam ilies never need us because their first re sponder comes home safe every night. So, we also work closely with donors and agency partners to prevent as many tragedies as possible through lifesaving equipment.”TheSafety Enhancement Stipend (SES) is a protective program providing financial support to law enforcement and fire departments to make them safer. In 2021, the Safety Enhance ment Stipend program provided nearly $500,000 in safety equipment and train ing to law enforcement and fire depart ments throughout Arizona.

A lesson of hope from Manuel the spider

An example: Not a day goes by that I don’t think about my father, who died in March last year in a strange hospice bed. I was 2,000 miles away when he passed, not there to hold his hand, not there to tell him one more time that I loved him. His mind was gone by then, and his body, too, addled by dementia, wracked with Parkinson’s disease. Did I do enough for him? Did he un derstand in those final moments how much I cared, how proud I was to be

Never give up. Because just when you think the game is over, that all is lost and things will never be the same — a small miracle might oc cur. And it gives us hope. For years I have been writing about my New River friend, Diane Wilson, and her visiting tarantula, Manuel. For over 25 years this hairy beast of the desert would migrate to Diane’s house, usually in July, make himself at home and stay for about three or four months. Except for this year. We were worried. Did something terrible hap pen to our friendly spider? Manuel, where are you? Well, the mystery has beenHe’ssolved.back!

Chances are good, dear reader, that you and I will never cross paths in the world. You know me only from my columns, which I assure you is a dis torted view of who I am. On this page, I offer some opinions, a few tales, but not much at all about the kind of man I am. Which, frankly, suits me fine. Be cause the truth is, I have shamed my self many times in my life, because I have failed to do right in moments that wereThesedifficult.failures are things I have car ried with me no less tangibly than my wallet and car keys — and they’re much harder to lose.

No matter how hard it is, learn to let go

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist O ne of my dear friends, a men tor throughout my adult life, shocked me a few days ago with a confession. In his 70s now, he is among the wisest humans I know, an oracle of smart advice people pay vast sums to hear. The subject of one of his books arose — a self-help title that is on my bookshelf in a place of honor — and his face grew sullen. “I wish I had never written it,” he told us. “I wish I had never told that story.”Thestory concerns his being shot in Vietnam. He was 19 years old, 9,000 miles from home with his guts ex posed, courtesy of three enemy bul lets.Once, that tale was a pillar of his storytelling arsenal, a testament to his ability to survive whatever life threw at Now,him. almost 60 years later, he had a different perspective: He was no lon ger that person, and had not been for decades — almost since the moment he was Rathershot.than set down that story for the world to chew over, he wished instead that he had made peace with the moment and moved on, as he has made peace with every tribulation everHissince.message to us was simple, but supremely wise — which is why I am passing it along to you. “We need to let go of what’s both ering us and move on,” I wrote in my notebook.“Willyou let challenges steal all the joy from you? Or will you let go, get over it and move on?”

Yes, the big, old spidey was found sitting on top of Diane’s washing machine, enjoying an after noon nap. Had he come into the house months earlier and just stayed hidden? One year, we must remember, Manu el decided to crawl inside Diane’s big, Velcro hair curlers. Sleeping like a baby, imagine Diane’s shock when she goes to put one in her hair and finds a tarantula curled up inside! Perhaps a scream, but Manuel just walked in dignantly away to find another “secret spot.” And so it goes. When you let a spider rule of the house, tiptoe careful ly and be prepared. Of course, nature is puzzling. Manu el should be getting ready to leave, not just arriving. Oh dear, if only he could talk… there would certainly be a story to Itell.did have my own tarantula experi ence. Down in my barn, in the corner of a stall was a big, beautiful taran tula just sitting on the ground. Since my 1,200-pound mare was close by, I thought I better relocate the furry arachnid to a safer place. How would I do this? I got a lightweight shovel and gently placed it under spidey till he walked on. I took him out of the stall and he stared at me with big, black eyes and did not look happy. He didn’t look so friendly like our Manuel. Where would I put a big tarantula to be safely out of the reach of horses? Into the barn breezeway we go! Oh, yeah, like the spider was on an amuse ment park ride, I carried him around until he was carefully placed in the safety of the breezeway.

BY J.D. HAYWORTH Peoria Times Columnist It wasn’t exactly “small potatoes.” That was just part of it. It was small po tatoes, diseased po tatoes and, in some areas, no potatoes — all combined in the Great Irish Po tato Famine, which was the scourge of the Emerald Isle from the mid to late 1840s.Also known as the Great Hunger, close to a million Irishmen died, and over a million fled the country. In fact, in the 10 years from 1845 to 1855, more than 2 million people left Ireland. Many of them emigrated to the United States — including the ancestors of the current occupant of the White House. Undoubtedly, Joe Biden has the gift of blarney; he also has the curse of ad vancing age and retreating cognition. Whatever his intellectual challenges, a half-century on Washington’s political stage has endowed him with a reflexive muscle memory. That comes in handy when he slings rhetorical mud — and worse — at his opponents, but also in his single-minded quest for greater power.One area where Joe and the rest of the Biden Bunch remain resolute can be found on our southern border… at least what’s left of it. The erasure of our national boundary, the erosion of our national sovereignty, and the eventual extinction of our nation itself appear within the grasp of this administration. That’s what National Public Radio — yes, you read that right, NPR — dis covered in a recent poll. Much to its collective editorial and administrative chagrin, the leftist ra dio “service” financed in part with the tax dollars of “nonlisteners like you,” found that a clear majority of 54% of Americans believe the border crisis is, in fact, an invasion. True to its “open borders ideology,” NPR sought to minimize the impact of the findings, and disparage the use of the term, claiming that “immigrant ad border crossers by the legal term “im migrants,” it’s fair to question NPR’s insistence on framing this through the dubious premise that using the word “invasion” will somehow inspire vio lence against illegals. What of the violence committed by il legals against law-abiding Americans? Is that underreported or, worse, rou tinely omitted from NPR’s coverage? What cannot be omitted from the re sults of the NPR/Ipsos poll, conduct ed in late July with a sample of 1,116 adults, is the fact that 40% of self-iden

Arizona families with a dispropor tionate impact on low-income and mi norityArizonans,communities.byand large, are more concerned with health care costs than costs related to retirement, housing, child care and higher education, as previous CQC research has shown. According to the new research, 83% of Arizonans report that the amount of money they pay for health care is going up every year. In addition, 75% believe that their health care costs are going up more than the other things theyUnfortunately,need. in today’s econom ic environment the cost of receiving quality care is compounded by per sistent inflation, higher gas prices and more expensive grocery bills. This demonstrates the need for legislators, at both the state and federal level, to enact policies that lower health care costs so Arizonans aren’t faced with two bad options — forgoing treatment completely or falling into debt to re ceiveDiggingcare. further into the research, Arizonans outlook on health care is grim:•42% said they received a medical bill for something that wasn’t cov ered by insurance.

Simply put, their health care costs are too high. According to the research, by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, Arizona voters believe the single biggest issue when accessing health care is skyrocketing out-of-pocket costs. Rising premiums, high deductibles, hidden costs and surprise medical bills are burdening

• 52% said they, or someone they know, have had their finances se riously affected by medical bills in the last two years. Medical debt is particularly present in low-income and minority commu nities. Nearly 40% of the Latino pop ulation in Arizona currently have an unpaid or overdue medical bill, com pared to 29% in the general popula tion. That percentage rises to a stag gering 53% when it comes to families strugglingFortunately,financially.Arizona voters are pro viding their elected leaders with a roadmap on how they would like to see policymakers address the prob lem.Sixty-seven percent of Arizonans believe capping insurance deductibles at a level that is low enough that peo ple don’t go into debt to get the care they need. Seventy-two percent think requiring health insurers and pharma cy benefit managers to pass the re bates or discounts they receive on to patients is another way to lower the burden — this includes 83% of Dem ocrats, 62% of Independents, and 69% ofTheRepublicans.bottomline is Arizonans are de manding that our elected leaders take bold action to lower health care costs.

This is the way I have come to define myself — as a bad son, selfish, broken in some profound way. My friend’s life was shaped by his great grandma, who, in the days be fore her death, exhorted him to get over her loss immediately and not one moment later. How long will you mourn me, she demanded? Three weeks, he suggest ed — because what do you say to such a question? She scoffed. “Life is for the living,” his great grandma insisted. “Life is for the liv ing.”Somewhere out there, one of you is carrying the Sisyphean weight of shame.

HEALTH CARE

The process starts with someone fill ing out an intake form online, answering basic questions about the patient’s needs, medical history and allergies. Boyle said any time someone fills out a form, she service improves health with hydration

All IV blends have a base of lactated ringers, which is used to replace water and electrolyte loss; zinc, which helps with immune support; magnesium, which helps the muscular and nervous systems; and B-complex, which boosts energy. The only exception to this is the Pure Hydration Mix ($125), which, as the name suggests, is just a liter of lac tated ringers for those who need fluids. According to the Mayo Clinic, nearly all of the body’s major systems depend on water to function and survive, and losing even a fraction of the body’s water stores can negatively affect the body and mind.

Just a few of the important benefits of staying hydrated include improved brain function, weight loss, increased energy, decreased joint pain, better temperature regulation, kidney stone prevention and a healthier heart. Mayo Clinic recommends a daily min the body to lose water is through sweat, which is why it’s critical for Arizonans to continually be mindful about hydra tion.“We lose so many vitamins and min erals through sweat or dehydration … and it’s just too hard to replace it oral ly,” Boyle said. “So, this is such a game changer.”

Anyone who has ever been to the doctor and diagnosed with some kind of ailment — cold, flu, COVID, infection — has undoubtedly been told to make sure they drink lots of fluids. Water isn’t some kind of univer sal cure, but its benefits go far beyond what most people realize, according to Taylor Boyle, owner of an iDrip Therapy franchise in Peoria. Boyle travels all over the Valley to bring IV services directly to patients suf fering from a variety of ailments from a viral illness to hangover. A longtime RN with advanced life support certifi cations, Boyle administers a variety of IV formulas containing essential fluids, electrolytes, vitamins and antioxidants designed to help clients reach their op timal“It’shealth.onyour time and at your comfort level.

And it’s a quick and simple process that is purposely designed to take as much stress off the patient as possible.

IV vitamin treatment delivers more of those nutrients that the body can absorb and immediately use.

The exact com bination and strength of each blend is meant to target a specific issue, so Boyle said she helps patients determine what the best treatment is for them. “A lot of people see the names of the nutrients and vitamins that we offer and know that they’re good for them, but they don’t really know what they do,” Boyle said. “Once we’ve chatted about what their primary complaint is, then I can kind of recommend products based onWiththat.”some of the IV blends, patients can choose to add vitamins, supplements or medications. For instance, iDrip has an Emergency Migraine and Headache Blend ($259) that adds in toradol, an anti-inflammatory, and zofran, an an ti-nausea medication. iDrip even offers anti-aging and weight management IV blends.According to Boyle, the most popular IV blend is the Myer’s Cocktail ($199), which contains a high dose of vitamin C, glutathione, magnesium and B vitamins. She said this IV blend is a great option for cold/flu, fatigue, boosting energy or hydration.Somemay think the same benefits can be obtained by just taking some supple ments, but Boyle said when taken orally, the liver fields about 90% of that dosage.

Boyle said her typical patients are anywhere from their early 30s to early 60s, but are usually people who are more wellness inclined. She said she gets a lot of requests from people who are current ly sick or recently recovered from being sick and may be dealing with fatigue or muscle aches.

Once the initial intake form is filled out and further information is gathered, the patient just has to pick a time, date and location and Boyle or another iDrip-cer tified nurse will be there to take care of them.“We can almost always cover a sameday appointment request or short notice request. We always have nurses avail able; it’s a very on-call job,” Boyle said. “We go to their home, their office, their gym, hotel — the location is up to the patient. The service itself takes about 25 to 35 minutes total.” Based in Peoria, she covers all of Phoenix, Anthem, Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Glendale and Surprise. However, iDrip has a wide network that can cover most of the state.

That much was clear this year at Arizona Coyotes development camp, where they worked as assistant coach es under coach André Tourigny during the team’s intrasquad scrimmage in July. Koelzer and Cheverie’s partici pation was made possible through the Coyotes’ diverse coaching internship, which launched in September and aims to create more diversity in the coaching talent pool. Keolzer and Cheverie took full ad vantage of the opportunity to show they belong, regardless of gender or race.“We want to prove that we’re not just good female coaches, we’re just good hockey coaches,” Koelzer said. “That’s something that we each bring. Every person brings a different wealth of knowledge to the table.” Cheverie agrees, saying, “I’ll be really excited for the day where we don’t have to have an interview about this being an amazing opportunity for a woman. It’s just an amazing oppor tunity as a hockey coach.” Tourigny acknowledged the differ ences women face while coaching in a male-dominated league and the chal lenges minorities face entering a room where they are few and far between.

Born in French-speaking Quebec, the Coyotes coach can relate to the desire to earn a job solely on merit. “I’m a French guy, and the first time I coached for Team Canada, people were saying they needed a French guy on the staff,” Tourigny said. “I didn’t want to be on the staff because I was French. I wanted to be on the staff be cause I’m a good coach. The goal is to have the best coach period. No sex, no gender, no nothing, just good coach ing.”Koelzer became the first Black fe male head coach in NCAA ice hockey history in September 2019, when she took over the Arcadia University wom en’s ice hockey program. Her resume includes more first-time accolades as the first-ever first-team All-American of Princeton women’s hockey and the first Black player picked first over all in a professional North American hockey league draft.

“I think any time you can coach at the highest level, that’s where I want to be,” Cheverie said, “whether it’s on the men’s side or the women’s side.

“When I was growing up, I knew I would go to college, but playing col lege hockey was not something that I knew was in the cards for me. Once I had that knowledge, once I had that confidence to say that’s my end goal, it really helped to propel my game.” Koelzer and Cheverie hope their success stories, groundbreaking ac complishments, and efforts in creat ing more opportunities will help break barriers for women with goals to succeed in the male-dominated sport in the future.

Men outnumber women 9 to 1 in participation across the country, according to a study done by Zippia. Access could be one reason for the imbalance between men and women.“Ididn’t have a girls’ team; it was not an option,” Koelzer said. “I had no other choice but to play with the guys if I wanted to play hockey.

The Nest offers a spacious, easygo ing game day gathering spot for Cardi nals fans. Serving typical bar fare, The Nest has 28 televisions and five super screens. That’s not all, however, as it also features dart boards, pool tables and off-track betting. On top of that, it resides just 2 miles from State Farm Stadium.

GIANTS Social Tap Scottsdale Social Tap Scottsdale is the official home of the local Giants fan club, Big Blue of Arizona. This two-story bar features seating on its first floor and on its second rooftop floor.

The 2021 NFL season was chockfull of excitement. The 102nd season of the Na tional Football League was the first to feature a 17-game schedule. It also saw Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers win his third MVP and second in as many years, the Joe Burrow-led Cincinnati Bengals make an improba ble run to the Super Bowl, and the Los Angeles Rams win their first Super Bowl since the 1999-2000 season. Despite having to follow all of that up, the 2022 season, however, is cer tainly looking like it will hold its own, as it is filled with eye-grabbing head lines.Tom Brady retired, then unretired this offseason, and is back for another Super Bowl run with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This season could be the last one for the five-time Super Bowl champion and three-time MVP. Many stars were traded this offseason and will certainly impact their new teams. Among them were Russell Wilson from the Seattle Seahawks to the Denver Broncos, Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans to the Cleve land Browns (though he won’t play the first 11 games of the season), Davante Adams from the Packers to the Las Ve gas Raiders, and Tyreek Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs to the Miami Dol phins.And for the first time in recent mem ory, there isn’t a clear-cut Super Bowl favorite. A third of the league, give or take, has at least an outsider’s shot to win Super Bowl LVII — which will be played at State Farm Stadium in Glen dale.All of that to be said, numerous spots around the Valley are ready to host fans of America’s Game to watch the season play out. Depending on who you root for, pay these bars a visit on Sundays to root for your favorite team with like-minded fans.

Peoria Times Columnist E very once in a while, you meet some one special. Such was the case a few months ago when I received an email from a reader of The Foothills Focus. His name is Paul Fredericks, the pas tor of Heritage Bible Church in Phoe nix.He explained how much he and his wife enjoyed my weekly articles. They wait each week for their news paper to arrive so they can read the ar ticle. He wanted to set up a time with me to meet for coffee. We met, and I think I gained more from the meet ing than he did. I want to share with you what made our meeting so special and transforming. I hope that what I learned from this casual meeting will elevate you as it did me. Paul and I had never met before, so we both entered unchartered territory. But the moment I met Paul, I liked him. He walked to me with a deter mined gait. “Are you Ed Delph?” I was right at home. I liked his vibe. I knew this encounter was going to be good.Let’s pause for a moment. Observe the first minute of our meeting through the lens of leadership and partner ship. Leaders create an atmosphere. Leaders don’t depend on the weather. They bring sunshine with them. Tru ly influential leaders can make their presence felt in any situation. Leaders understand that magnetism is one part inherited and two parts developed. Magnetic personalities create a posi tive energy flow. After some small conversation and a cup of coffee (with me, nothing hap pens without coffee), Paul, with his eyes twinkling, held a list of questions he had prepared for our meeting. Paul was motivated and ready to listen. So, off we journeyed into a list of 20 ques tions he wrote for me. Later, Paul re marked that we only made it through the first question. So, here’s a list of his“Whatquestions.isyour background, and how has it influenced you in your career, writing today? What is your faith journey? What is that one book that has influenced you the most (besides the Bible)? Why did you start writing your column and 10 books? What ad vice would you give someone think ing about writing articles and books? “Who are your mentors, and why? What are the most influential lessons your mentors taught you? How did you incorporate those into your life and your writing? How do you artic ulate and pass those lessons on to oth ers? What is something you look back on and wish someone would have told you during your career? Describe a time when fear paralyzed you in your career — how did you overcome it? “What leadership qualities are you trying to improve? What has been the most challenging? How do you remain inspired when inspiring others? What are your daily disciplines to keep yourself and your writing on track? Are there specific questions you ask others that have helped you? What has been your greatest challenge? How did you work through that? What do you do during your personal time that enables you to become a better writer, pastor, husband, etc.? What books or resources would you recommend? “What questions should I have asked that I have not? What can I do for you?” (I love this last question.)

Today, most conversations with peo ple are shallow. But not with a learner like Paul. We quickly moved from an acquaintance friendship to a casual, perhaps even close, relationship. He didn’t want to know me. He wanted to know all about me. He wanted to know who I am and what I do well enough so that some of me could rub off on him. He accessed the gift. Here’s some sage advice from au thor Stan Tobler in his book “Minute Motivators for Leaders today.” “Lead ers and learners ask for direction.

The leaders don’t know each other yet. So, I’ve chosen 16 of Paul’s ques tions for each leader. Each leader will pick eight questions to talk about to the other leaders. This way, they will know one another, not just about one another. Thank you, Paul. If you are wondering why I listed all of Paul’s questions, it’s so you read ers can use some of these questions to ask others and get to know others who could be a resource with insight for you. After all, the wisest leaders are those with the wisest advisers. PT

DELPH FROM PAGE 22 every area. Leaders know what they don’t know. They know they have skills but also know they are with in a question’s reach of even broad er skills. People who don’t ask for counsel make unnecessary mistakes. On the other hand, good leaders are not bashful about asking for advice.

I’ve been a pastor since 1979. Yet no one has ever asked me “deep-diving” questions like Paul. Not one of Paul’s questions was about him looking for an opportunity to speak about himself to me. Instead, he wanted to listen and learn, not have a preaching contest with me.
