Does the Size of Your Church Matter? (Part 4)
I love small businesses. I bought my only television from a local, small business. They delivered it, set it up, and called a week later to see how I liked it. Great service. I decided to get a second television so I could watch football while my kids watched whatever reality show they watch. S...

Micro Churches, Mega Vision
I love to challenge myself to think about things from a different perspective, especially things I’ve taken at face value. For years, when people referenced our church, Life.Church, as a megachurch, I never gave the term a second thought: I simply thought it meant a big church. Upon more reflection,...

Good Social Media or a Prideful Heart?
We know God opposes the proud. But some forms of social media seem to have redefined what pride is and what it’s not. For example: Imagine if I stood before our church and repeated things I had heard others say: “Joe Smith said, ‘Pastor Craig, you are the best preacher ever! Your sermons change...

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...

Battling Discouragement as a Pastor
As pastors, we can boldly believe and trust God and His promises—or believe lies whispered by the enemy. If you’re feeling disappointed, under utilized, or confused in this season, let’s be reminded of Romans 8:28. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who h...

The Other Side
Romans 8:28 offers the amazing promise of God bringing good out of all situations for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. I’ve watched God bring good on the other side of many difficult times. Today, I’ll talk about the other side of financial trials. One month, out of n...

Behind the Music: "All Around"

The accompanying resources and YouVersion Bible Plan for “All Around” encourage readers to examine the Bible as a growing, living part of God...

Why Lead a Married Small Group?
Joining a small group is a great opportunity for married couples to grow, learn, and experience life together. But leading a small group can open a couple to a whole new level of blessings and joys. To encourage potential leaders to take the plunge, Dr. Kim Kimberling discusses the importance of mar...

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...

Church Online: Different Lobby, Same Ministry
No matter the "lobby"—whether it's a brick-and-mortar church building, a mission, a shelter, a park, an orphanage, or a grocery store—the ministry is always the same. As pastors, church leaders, and fully devoted followers of Christ, we're able to bring our mission field with us wherever we go. For...

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...

We've discussed leading and growing our church, but in this new year it's important not to forget yourself in the process. One of the biggest factors in growing as leaders is your inner dialogue. When you wake up and be...

Don't Wait for Perfection
When launching anything new, most people want it to be perfect. But, opening before it is perfect is often better than waiting for perfection. One of my friends opened a yogurt store before he had signs, pictures, or decorations. Instead of a cool clock on the wall, he put up a piece of paper w...
