Pastors, Anxiety, and Burnout
From the outside, we as pastors and church leaders probably seem like we have it all together. God’s calling is on our lives, and we’re doing the most important work in the world. How could we be stressed out? After all, we only work on Sundays, right? Wrong. Working in ministry is tough. In fact,...

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...

All About Honor
In a series we did called Forgotten Virtues, the first message I taught was on honor. If you're interested, you can download the messages here. When Jesus said, "a prophet is without honor in his hometown," the Greek word he used was “atimos” (pronounced at’-ee’-mos). It means to dishonor, to...

Message Support: Relationship Goals
The #perfectmarriage isn’t always as easy as it looks. People often look at happy images of marriages on social media and say, “I want that,” but they don’t really know what “that” is.

The Code: What Matters Most
The Code. It's what we call our set of core values here at Life.Church. This is different than our statement of faith—it has more to do with focus and perspective. As the church grew and changed over the years, we realized...

Letting Go of What People Think
Becoming obsessed with what people think about you is the fastest way to forget what God thinks about you. My mom taught me the common truth, “You can’t please everyone.” From my observation, ministers seem to be more vulnerable to people-pleasing than most professions. In reality, we should...

A Christ-Centered, Others-Oriented Challenge
When crisis strikes, as believers our light shines bright. The Church was created to minister to and meet the needs of people filled with fear and doubt. During the COVID-19 outbreak, Pastor Craig Groeschel preached a midweek sermon to encourage Life.Church attenders to do seven things to serve peop...

How to Talk with Teens about Suicide
Teens deal with serious, real-life issues in their day-to-day lives, which is why we aren’t afraid to tackle heavy topics at Switch, our youth ministry at Life.Church. Suicide can be a tough topic to address, but starting the conversation with students might help alleviate some of the stigma and ev...

Strategic Disruptions
The longer you do ministry, the easier it becomes to minister from memory. You tend to do what you've always done. It is safe, comfortable, and convenient. To stay spiritually and creatively fresh, I suggest “strategic disruptions.” To me, this is intentionally disrupting the routine, mundane,...
Leadership
Spirit-Led Instead of Model-Driven
Many pastors operate on certain models. There is the “seeker-sensitive” model, the “purpose-driven” model, the “emergent church” model, the “contemporary church” model, the “spirit-filled classic charismatic” model, the “small group” model, the “multi-site” model, the “missional inner-city” mod...

3 Values that Lead to Evangelism
“How do I inspire my church to be involved in evangelism?” At Alpha, that’s the one question we most often hear from church leaders—and it’s an important one for a couple of reasons. First, if we mobilize our whole congregation to engage with their community, the message of Jesus will find its way...
