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...

Kids Ministry: Know, Feel, Do
What we teach in our kids ministries is obviously extremely important, but the environment we create for our kids is almost just as important.

Does the Size of Your Church Matter? (Part 1)
Why do some people go to small churches? Why do others go to large churches? This is certainly an oversimplification, but bear with me. People tend to stay at small churches because they are: 1) Needed. Each week, someone is counting on them to pass out the red attendance folders, vacuum...

Personal Generosity
Several pastors have complained to me that most people in their churches are not generous. I’m guessing that the churches are a reflection of its leaders. If our ministries aren’t generous, it is probably because we aren’t either. Several years ago, God started moving our family toward a much m...

Lazy People Don’t Need Vision to Be Lazy
Churches who decide to go multi-site often do so by adding campuses in nearby cities. Sometimes, churches will promote these new locations to their attenders as a convenience: “Now you can get to church in half the time!” Those same churches are somewhat surprised when the evangelism temperature f...

Strategic Disruptions
The longer you do ministry, the easier it becomes to minister from memory. You tend to do what you've always done. It is safe, comfortable, and convenient. To stay spiritually and creatively fresh, I suggest “strategic disruptions.” To me, this is intentionally disrupting the routine, mundane,...

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...

Church Social Media: Volunteers
What could church social media volunteers do? Churches can be run on volunteers, and at Life.Church, we couldn’t do what we do as a ministry without volunteers. But, how do you use volunteers as part of your social media team? Volunteers can play a variety of roles on your social media team, depen...

Breaking Up the Systems
Even a good ministry system will eventually limit what God wants to do if the system doesn’t evolve or totally change. (By system, I mean any program, structure, philosophy, or culture that shapes and helps produce a desired outcome.) Once people operate within a system long enough, they often...

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...
