Behind the Music: "We Lift You High"
What we've learned: We were created to worship God. It was His original plan for us, to commune with Him and praise Him and bring Him glory. As worship leaders, we're tasked with creating the songs and opportunities for God's people to serve Him through music. Try to find worship elements that c...

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 “...

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...

Letting Go of Old Assumptions
The world is changing faster every day. Too many Christian leaders are working off of old assumptions rather than new revelations. When we assume that our way of doing ministry is best: ●We stop learning from others. ●We rarely try something new. ●We quickly see faults in new ideas rat...

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...

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...

30-Second Theology

In this training, we'll talk about ways you can use the big game to reach more people for Christ in your community. Get th...

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...

An Outsider's Words Often Mean More
I see it as one of my biggest roles to encourage and strengthen our staff. Almost every time we gather, I remind them they are part of something special. But no matter how often I say it, it doesn’t mean as much as when an outsider tells them. We’ve been blessed to have Dr. Sam Chand, Chris...

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...

Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast: 3 Questions for Anticipatory Leadership
The difference between a good leader and great leader is that great leaders learn to anticipate rather than react. So how can you determine where things are going? Start by asking: 1. What is happening? This is also known as situational awareness. Assess the current state of your organizat...
