Leadership
The Most Important Word
In many cases, the word “no” is more important than the word “yes.” To say “yes” to the best things, you’ll have to learn to say “no” to the good things. In ministry, you will be overwhelmed with many good opportunities. But if you say “yes” to all of them, one day you won’t be able to say “...

Obeying God in Spite of the Data
What we've learned: "Data has a seat at the table"—it's something we say a lot here at Life.Church. The distinction is that even though we place a high value on collecting and analyzing data (that's why we created Church Metrics, after all), it still only has one seat at our decision-making ta...

Worth Revisiting: Excellence/Effectiveness
There are several principles that I seem to revisit when talking with pastors. A couple of these are the cost/excellence curve and the cost/effectiveness curve. If I gave you $100,000, could you make your house or apartment excellent? I imagine that with some careful investments in furniture, p...

Letting Go of the Fear of Failure
The fear of failure paralyzes too many people. I’ve found one of the best gifts God can give a leader is the gift of failure. Too many of us are not doing what we feel called to do because we’re afraid to fail. As I observe the people around me, it seems the most effective have failed far more...

Multi-Purpose, Multi-Benefit
Multi-purpose rooms can be one of the most valuable assets your church creates. At Life.Church, we keep our spaces efficient and our budget frugal by planning rooms that serve multiple purposes. When constructing new space, keep things as simple as possible. Try to only create rooms that can se...

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...

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. It applies to your church as a whole, but also individual ministries. It compels you to develop vision and strategy, and keeps you outwardly focused. The answer isn’t...

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...

Leading in the Right Role
Before you step up to speak, before you have a developmental conversation, and before you cast vision, there’s one thing you have to do first. You need to clearly define the purpose. There are three important things to consider to define your purpose: • What you want people to know. Too oft...

Think Ahead: Anticipate on Purpose
Successful people are often great at anticipating—the needs of others, the trends of the future, and the next steps that need to be taken. Make it a priority to intentionally practice anticipation in the following ways: • If you want to be promoted as an assistant, anticipate how you can bet...
