Keeping Things in Perspective
While uneducated or cruel critics can be distracting, try to keep things in perspective. Where I live, Christians are rarely in danger for being Christians. Countless believers have suffered gravely for their faith in Christ. If all we have to do is endure a few people complaining, blogging, or wr...

Fasting From Church Stuff
For years I tried to learn from and be like other ministers. I listened to messages, attended conferences, and devoured every Christian book I could. Each time I met a new leader, I tried to become more like them. A few years ago though, God led me to do something very different. (I'm not neces...

Be Unreasonable
I bet you have heard this many times: “be reasonable.” Truthfully, under many circumstances, “be reasonable” is sound advice—but not always. As Christian leaders, there are some times to be unreasonable. • When you pray, you might ask God to do something most would consider impossible or unrea...

Behind the Music: "Savior Forever"
“Savior Forever” examines the idea that God is continually pursuing us, even when we fall short of pursuing Him. This song is all about celebrating Christ’s victory over sin, and his victory over us, and that’s the heart of the accompanying resources and YouVersion Bible Plan. Readers will learn a...

How to Neighbor: CarePortal
At Life.Church, we believe the local church is the hope of the world. That’s because the church isn’t just a building. The “capital C” Church is all about showing Christ’s love through its people. Scripture specifically calls us to care for orphans and widows (James 1:27). We looked closely at...

Leading the Way with Small Groups
“Church” is much more than a weekly experience. Being the "capital “C” Church includes serving, giving, and engaging with God and others. A healthy, thriving, small group ministry is a necessary component to Christian community, but can be difficult to build effectively. At Life.Church, we enco...

LifeGroups & Small Groups: Know, Feel, Do
Whatever you call them in your church—Bible studies, home groups, LifeGroups, small groups—they are where life happens. We're all designed by God to live in community with each other, and LifeGroups are a great place to plug in with other Christians. As pastors and leaders, we can do a lot to crea...

Starting Church Online: Why, How, and Who
Modern technology gives us a chance to reach the world in a way that’s never been possible before in history. By doing online ministry, your church can reach every part of the world that has internet access—from your own community to far-flung countries that don't have access to Christian churches o...

Message Support: "Under God?"
What dominates the headlines doesn't have to dominate our hearts. There’s only one name that can bring the world together, and you won’t find it on a ballot. Are you ready to discover the hope and freedom we’ve been given Under God? Instead of focusing on politics, this series will ask what it real...

The Beginning of Multi-site
Innovation happens where passion meets constraints. At first, it's a strange concept, but we've found that when you're backed up against a wall, you come up with some of your most ingenious solutions. For us, being constrained by a budget and a growing congregation forced us to think about alternati...

Writing, Producing, and Singing: "Breaking the Silence"
Join Life.Church worship leaders for a conversation about creating the new album Breaking the Silence—and the planning, the production, and the purpose of writing new worship songs. As the newest release from Life.Church Worship, "Breaking the Silence" is an electric set of original worship songs...

Personal Generosity
Several pastors have complained to me that most people in their churches are not generous. I’m guessing that the churches are a reflection of its leaders. If our ministries aren’t generous, it is probably because we aren’t either. Several years ago, God started moving our family toward a much m...

Message Support: "This Is What We Do"
Do you do "this?" This opens doors and solves problems. This inspires others to do this, too—it’s the good kind of contagious. When they tell our life stories, we want them to put this at the top. We are hardwired for this. This is who we are, and This Is What We Do. "This" is all about the joy of...

The Phases of My Faith
When God wants to change my life, he changes my perspective. As He reframes the way I see the world around me, I start to think and act differently. When it comes to my faith, three phases stand out as particularly formative in the continuing journey of becoming who God has created me to be. Phase...
