Behind the Music: "All Around"
It’s easy to claim the title “Christ follower” when things are going good in our lives. But what do we do when we face true adversity? We look to the cross. The accompanying resources and YouVersion Bible Plan for “All Around” encourage readers to examine the Bible as a growing, living part of God...

Message Support: Not a Hostage with Steven Furtick
In this one-week message from Pastor Steven Furtick, lead and founding pastor of Elevation Church in North Carolina, he'll teach us that we do not have to be hostage to our situation. Like Paul, who chose to worship even when he was in prison, the reality of our situations is determined by God's Wor...

Original Worship Songs: Writing the Lyrics
When writing a song—or creating anything for your ministry—stay true to the culture and purpose of your church. For us, that means writing songs that incorporate key phrases and principles that are already familiar to our attenders. That familiarity helps them move past the "newness" of the song str...

Higher Threshold for Chaos
When we’re entering into a new season, I always challenge our leaders to have a higher threshold for chaos. Systems tend to produce predictable outcomes. When we are innovating and growing, we never know what the outcome will be. Many ideas we think will be great turn out to be duds. On the...

Why Data Has a Seat at the Table
At Life.Church we say that data "has a seat at the table." This means that we acknowledge the power of data and take it into account when making decisions, but we also never make decisions solely based on data. There are other voices at the table, too. The absolute most important voice is always God...

Church Now | Church Next Event
Pastors and church leaders are facing some of the most unexpected and difficult circumstances in our most recent history. The way our churches operate and lead has been turned upside down, but hope is alive and well. During this event, we came together to understand where we’ve come up to now, and h...

Why It's Important to Track Church Data
Here at Life.Church, we put a lot of stock in gathering and analyzing data throughout the organization. We use Church Metrics to keep track of all the data that's important to us—like salvations, baptisms, giving, and attendance. But what's more important than tracking data is the heart behind it. I...

Be Good at Something Different
In ministry, most churches and leaders try to be good at what everyone else is good at doing. We’re all trying to improve our preaching, youth groups, kids’ curriculum, worship, environments, and countless other areas. The problem is that we’re not all blessed with the same gifts, and we're not...
Staff Development
Developing Staff: Bring In. Build Up. Train. Send Out.
The purpose for our staff here at Life.Church is to bring in, build up, train, and then send out. We recognize that great staff aren't found but developed in the right environments. That's why we create those environments and bring people in. While they are with us, we build our staff up and train t...

Message Support: Things Jesus Never Said
Jesus shared a lot of wisdom in the Bible. And lately, He also seems to share a ton on Instagram, on screen-printed mugs, and in those images your aunt posts on Facebook, too. But how much of it is true? Where’s the line between what He actually told us, and the Things Jesus Never Said? Jesus cam...

Behind the Music: "Irresistible"
What groups do you think are least worthy of your time? What about unworthy of love? It’s natural for us to draw the line somewhere, but there’s no stopping the irrational love of Jesus. That’s the heart behind “Irresistible,” a lighter, pop-tinged anthem with a catchy chorus. Use the accompanying Y...

What the Church Should Learn from Google
Most of us would say Google is pretty big. Eighteen years after it launched its search engine, it is one of the top 10 most well-known brands in the world. But despite how big it’s become, Google’s leaders continue to think bigger. Instead of looking back at what they’ve accomplished, they look ou...

Fully Devoted: Recording Live or in the Studio
What's the purpose of your project? It's a simple question, but it will help guide the creation of any new asset you're creating for your ministry. When it came to recording "Fully Devoted" to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of Life.Church, we knew that the purpose could be better served by record...
Multi-site
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...
