Be Unreasonable

I bet you have heard this many times: “be reasonable.” Truthfully, under many circumstances, “be reasonable” is sound advice—but not always. As Christian leaders, there are some times to be unreasonable. • When you pray, you might ask God to do something most would consider impossible or unrea...

The Power of Feedback

One of the greatest tools for a leader or speaker is truthful feedback. Unfortunately, in our church cultures, we often develop feedback-averse environments. People might find themselves in one of two wrong extremes: 1) We believe that a leader (or preacher) should have heard from God and n...

Go Inside an "At the Movies" experience

At the Movies is a 4-week summertime series where our Senior Pastor, Craig Groeschel, uses movies to illustrate biblical truths. These photos illustrate the hard work and creativity that our campuses exude during this special time of year. If you want to dive deeper into how we do At the Movies, che...

Letting Go of What People Think

Becoming obsessed with what people think about you is the fastest way to forget what God thinks about you. My mom taught me the common truth, “You can’t please everyone.” From my observation, ministers seem to be more vulnerable to people-pleasing than most professions. In reality, we should...

Worship Team Structure at Life.Church

One of the questions we get here at Life.Church is how we’re able to keep 28 campuses (and counting!) across the country organized and consistent. The truth is that we couldn’t do it without our incredible teams, so we’re very intentional about how we approach team construction. This is especially...

Leading New Believers Through Tithing

At Life.Church, we like to say we will do anything short of sin to reach people for Christ. That might include things like using movies or popular TV commercials in church to illustrate truths from the Bible. As a result of being really focused about reaching the lost, we often have a lot of visitor...

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...

Writing, Producing, and Singing: "Breaking the Silence"

Join Life.Church worship leaders for a conversation about creating the new album Breaking the Silence—and the planning, the production, and the purpose of writing new worship songs. As the newest release from Life.Church Worship, "Breaking the Silence" is an electric set of original worship songs...

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...

5 Days of Leadership with Pastor Craig | Day 5: Lead Yourself

Day 5: Lead yourself.The most important person you will ever lead is yourself. We've discussed leading and growing our church, but in this new year it's important not to forget yourself in the process. One of the biggest factors in growing as leaders is your inner dialogue. When you wake up and be...

How to Have a Strong Developmental Conversation

At some point in your leadership, you’ll encounter a staff member or volunteer who isn’t cutting it. And if you’re a part of any growing organization, your organization is eventually going to outgrow someone on your team. The hard part, especially for those of us who are spiritual leaders, is that...

Message Support: "I Want to Believe, But..."

In this four week series, we'll look at some of the barriers that keep people from believing in God. It’s often difficult to believe in a God we cannot see. We wonder why God didn’t answer our prayers, why God allows suffering, or why we can’t feel His presence. God may not meet all your expectatio...

Why It's Important to Track Church Data

Here at Life.Church, we put a lot of stock in gathering and analyzing data throughout the organization. We use Church Metrics to keep track of all the data that's important to us—like salvations, baptisms, giving, and attendance. But what's more important than tracking data is the heart behind it. I...

The Right People

Asking the right questions is necessary to get valuable feedback. It’s also important to direct the right questions to the right people. When it comes to feedback, not all people are equal. Two groups that shouldn’t always be trusted include: ●Your greatest critics ●Your greatest fans...
