Where Do We Grow from Here
No matter the size, age or denomination of our churches, there’s one question we should all be asking. It’s simple yet significant.

How Do You Handle Criticism
One of the most common questions that I’m asked by young pastors is, “How do you handle the critics?” I’ve realized that no matter what a leader does, he or she will be criticized. For example, I’ve been criticized a lot for building the church around my preaching. When I started using more tea...

The Death of the Five-Year Plan
When I started in ministry two decades ago, everyone I knew was making five-year plans. While thoughtful planning is wise and biblical, I’ve changed how I plan. Instead of planning for specific buildings, campuses, staff roles, and outreach, I plan to be prepared for opportunities that I can’t...

Worship Team Structure at Life.Church
One of the questions we get here at Life.Church is how we’re able to keep 28 campuses (and counting!) across the country organized and consistent. The truth is that we couldn’t do it without our incredible teams, so we’re very intentional about how we approach team construction. This is especially...

Don’t Fight Back
Some criticism of our ministries will be valid. Others will come from partially informed people who might never understand or endorse our philosophy of ministry. With the explosion of online critics, it is tempting to jump into a conversation to tell your side of the story. While there might be...

How to Neighbor: Partner with Local Missions
At Life.Church, we’re passionate about being the hands and feet of Jesus to those around us. Our message series How to Neighbor shows us just how to do that by reaching out to the lonely, those who are different than us, the orphans, and the poor. One of the best ways "neighbor" is to partner...

A Christ-Centered, Others-Oriented Challenge

Does the Size of Your Church Matter? (Part 1)
Why do some people go to small churches? Why do others go to large churches? This is certainly an oversimplification, but bear with me. People tend to stay at small churches because they are: 1) Needed. Each week, someone is counting on them to pass out the red attendance folders, vacuum...

Leading Into the Future
When I want to lead into the future, I usually look into the past to see what I can learn from any patterns. Sensing it was time to make some changes in our church culture, I prayerfully reflected over the different seasons of our church.I noticed a distinct pattern that repeated itself at least se...
