Leading Your Church Out of Crisis
Pastors, if the way you're leading your church today is similar to your pre-pandemic plan, you probably have a bad plan. Your church has been through two years of extreme trauma. We’ve had countless tragic deaths, political division, ongoing racial tension, economic inconsistencies, and we’re...

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...

The Other Side
Romans 8:28 offers the amazing promise of God bringing good out of all situations for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. I’ve watched God bring good on the other side of many difficult times. Today, I’ll talk about the other side of financial trials. One month, out of n...
