I just published a new post on my @buymeacoffee Moses Went Up to God buymeacoffee.com/tomsims/moses-…

You are not called to be strong. You are called to trust the One who is. Psalm 18 is a testimony of survival, trust, and a God who comes down. 🔗 tomsims.substack.com/p/refuge-stren… #BibleChat #Psalm18 #TrustGod

I didn’t come early to technology. In fact, I started late—and stumbled more than once along the way. From floppy disks and DOS commands to smartphones that sometimes misunderstand me completely, I’ve watched technology change rapidly over the decades. But in the middle of all that change, I’ve noticed something: Some things endure. There is a continuity—a trackable progression—from where we started to where we are now. Technology doesn’t jump from A to Z. It moves step by step. And so do we. Keeping up isn’t about being first. It’s about not missing the steps. If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or frustrated by how fast things change—this reflection is for you. 👉 Read the full Substack (with the “Keeping Up Grid” and coaching framework): open.substack.com/pub/tomsims... 👉 Read the companion Medium article (my personal journey with technology): @tomsims/i-didnt-c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@tomsims/i-did…... 👉 Read the LinkedIn article (leadership focus): 📷 / staying-current-without-pretending-know-ev...   👉 More resources, coaching, and connections: linktr.ee/tomsims #Technology #LifelongLearning #DigitalTransformation #KeepLearning #PersonalGrowth #Leadership #ChangeAndGrowth #Adaptability #Innovation #WritersLife #Communication #WorkshopsToGo #TomSims #Reflection

Keeping Up Without Falling Behind, by @tomsims open.substack.com/pub/tomsims/p/…

You don’t have to be an expert on everything to lead well. In fact, most “experts” are still learning—just a few steps ahead, asking better questions, and paying attention to what matters most. In a world where technology, ideas, and systems are changing faster than any one person can master, leadership is not about knowing everything. It’s about staying current in the right ways: • Tracking the subject headings • Listening to the questions people are asking • Identifying credible, current voices • Building a thought team that sees what you don’t And perhaps most importantly… Asking the questions that keep you honest: ✔ Is there anything I should know? ✔ Am I missing something? ✔ Am I making decisions while ignoring my blind spots? We don’t have to know everything. But we do have to stay aware, curious, and connected. That’s how leaders keep climbing. #Leadership #LeaningLeadershipLadder #ExecutiveLeadership #BusinessStrategy #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #LifelongLearning #AdaptiveLeadership #Curiosity #CriticalThinking #ProfessionalDevelopment #LeadershipDevelopment #TomSims

Bible Chat: Mutual Identification — Standing with Christ… and Christ with Us, by @tomsims open.substack.com/pub/tomsims/p/…

#QuestionForGroup: What does faithful pastoral leadership look like in a divided world? It means leading people into truth that both unites and divides—and forming them to stand with Christ, whatever the cost. #PastoralExcellence #ChristianLeadership #ChurchLeadership #FaithAndLeadership #Discipleship #SpiritualFormation #ClergyLife #MissionalChurch #LeadershipDevelopment #TheologyInPractice linkedin.com/pulse/standing…

Standing with Christ isn’t always easy. Jesus said we would face pressure—but also promised we are never alone. When you stand with Him… He stands with you. 🔗 Full message: tomsims.substack.com/p/bible-chat-m… #BibleChat #Faith #ChristianLife #Courage #FollowJesus

Juana Inés de Asbaje y Ramírez de Santillana lived a truly notable life. She stands as a powerful example of strong womanhood and Mexican identity—centuries ahead of her time. Nun. Writer. Philosopher. Composer. Student of science. Poet of remarkable depth. A central figure in what is known as the Spanish Golden Age, she rose to the forefront among writers and scholars, contributing significantly to both Spanish literature and Mexican culture. Her gifts were recognized early. She was a prodigy—given unusual opportunities (for a girl in the 1600s) to study, learn, and fill her mind with great ideas. She mastered the classics, Greek, Latin, and theology. By the age of eight, she was already composing poetry—writing on the Eucharist. As a woman and later as a sister in the Order of St. Jerome, she continued to write, to serve the poor, and to think deeply. She also spoke boldly—advocating for the intellectual and spiritual dignity of women. That boldness came at a cost. She was eventually silenced and condemned by ecclesiastical authority for challenging the misogyny of her time. Still, her voice endures. This is a life worth bookmarking… and returning to. I will.

Majesty Above Us, Trouble Around Us, Refuge Within Reach - Bible Chat: Psalms 8–11, by @tomsims open.substack.com/pub/tomsims/p/…

Psalms 8–11 move from awe to anguish to trust. Look up: God is majestic. Cry out: God hears the afflicted. Tell the truth: God can handle your questions. Stand firm: when foundations shake, His throne does not. #BibleChat #Psalms #Faithy @tomsims open.substack.com/pub/tomsims/p/…

From Languishing to Confidence, by @tomsims open.substack.com/pub/tomsims/p/…

Some prayers are polished. Psalm 6 is not. “I am languishing… How long, O Lord?” But then: 👉 “The Lord has heard my weeping.” Nothing changed… except everything. By Psalm 7: 👉 “In you I take refuge.” Faith doesn’t always fix things immediately. But it re-centers everything. 🔗 tomsims.substack.com/p/from-languis… #BibleChat #Psalms #Faith #Prayer #ChristianTeaching #SpiritualGrowth

You can prepare for battle… but you cannot manufacture peace. “Safety is of the LORD.” (Prov 21:31) Have you looked up today? 👉@tomsims/you-can-prepare-for-battle-but-you-cannot-manufacture-peace-83915c0bcb0d?sk=ad0bed757eface8d185683e16849e657" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@tomsims/you-c… #BibleChat #Faith
