The Right Questions
In the church world, you will almost always get feedback. But not all feedback is equal. Finding the right feedback is vitally important. A key to finding the right feedback is asking the right questions. Here are a few questions that won’t be very effective: ● What did you think of the s...

Three Tips for Stage Communication
It can be scary—having only a few minutes to convey all the news, initiatives, and stories that you want to share with your congregation during a service. But if you think of communicating from stage less as making announcements and more as casting vision, you'll be able to craft stronger, more cohe...

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...

Church Online: Different Lobby, Same Ministry
No matter the "lobby"—whether it's a brick-and-mortar church building, a mission, a shelter, a park, an orphanage, or a grocery store—the ministry is always the same. As pastors, church leaders, and fully devoted followers of Christ, we're able to bring our mission field with us wherever we go. For...

A Year at a Glance
When you work as part of a team, everyone has different things they're focused on and contributing to, and it's important to stay organized. Many of our teams use a program called...

Solving Small Group Challenges
There are a few common problems every small group ministry faces. At Life.Church, some creative solutions have helped us learn to conquer these obstacles. StaffingOne familiar predicament is how much staff should be devoted specifically to small groups. We always lean on the side of a smaller staff...
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...

Promise and Deliver
A couple of years ago, we opened a new campus, and on launch day had three times the attendance we were expecting. As a result, we ended up behind the curve on many things: • We didn't have enough LifeGroups. • We recruited new volunteers on the fly. • We needed more staff to fill in the gaps...

Message Support: Things Jesus Never Said
Jesus shared a lot of wisdom in the Bible. And lately, He also seems to share a ton on Instagram, on screen-printed mugs, and in those images your aunt posts on Facebook, too. But how much of it is true? Where’s the line between what He actually told us, and the Things Jesus Never Said? Jesus cam...

A Prayer: Submit Yourself to God
This excerpt is from the series "A Way Out." Many of us are familiar with the phrase "resist the devil and he will flee," but we overlook the sentence that precedes it in James: "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil and he will flee." Submit to God daily in prayer; when you're submitt...

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...
Leadership
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...
