Series Verification

10 Skills Every Man Should Have

  • More Than Skills, A Way of Life correctly functions as the conclusion at series_order: 11.
  • Its source front matter lacks the required scripture field. No reference should be invented during metadata migration; the editorial selection must be made explicitly.

Lead Like This

The December snapshot contains a complete nine-part sequence:

  1. Lead Like This, Series Introduction
  2. Called to Serve, Not Control
  3. Humble, Not Hidden
  4. A Listening Leader
  5. Lead With the Fruit, Not Just the Fire
  6. Vision That Lasts
  7. The Strength of Letting Go
  8. The Leader God Trusts
  9. Before You Lead Anyone…

The ordering is internally consistent and should be preserved.

December-Specific Issues

  • Add a Scripture reference to More Than Skills, A Way of Life through an explicit editorial decision.
  • Add the missing subtitle to The Weight of Offense.
  • Add Samatra Thomas as contributor to The Weight of Offense.
  • Verify /img/posts/eths-letting-go.jpg.
  • Verify /img/posts/-lead-like-this-leader-god-trusts.jpg.
  • Protect published URLs before renaming files with title case, typographic punctuation, Offence, or other inconsistent filename patterns.
  • Remove empty contributors, blank series, and null series_order fields.
  • Remove residual StackEdit metadata comments.
  • Verify C. S. Lewis attribution and source framing.
  • Review theological absolutes and interpretive claims flagged above against the approved humble-claim standard.

Completion

December 2025 is audit-complete and ready for the controlled front matter migration after the remaining months are reviewed.
