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...

Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast: Motivating Your Team

When we think about motivation, it’s easy to start with the wrong assumption about people. People are not unmotivated.

Hoping for a Win vs. Creating a Win

There’s a big difference between hoping for a win and creating a win. I want the team to feel positive, like we’re getting somewhere and doing something.

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.

Kids Ministry: Creating Cohesion Across the Ages

Years ago, our early childhood, elementary, and youth teams created their own curriculums. They operated largely independent of each other and focused on different topics at different times. But after much research and strategizing, we realized we could be more effective if we aligned our stude...
