Keeping Things in Perspective

Why We Don't Do Church Membership (New)
At Life.Church, one of our goals is to be spiritual contributors, not spiritual consumers. We've found, however, that church membership does not necessarily encourage this attitude in the most effective way. Instead, we believe that when people feel needed and known, they are drawn to engage and co...

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...

Prepare for Attacks

Second Chance Sunday Toolkit
No life is beyond God’s reach. Just as God forgives our sins and offers us a second chance, the Bible shows us that we can offer a second chance to people who have paid their debt to society.

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...

Questions to Ask If You're a Creative

All About Honor

Riding the Wave
I pray God blesses your ministry at some point with what some call “the wave.” The wave is when God seems to do more than you can handle! During the wave, your buildings aren’t big enough, you can’t hire fast enough, and you’re just hanging on for dear life. Just remember: ●You don’t crea...

Good Social Media or a Prideful Heart?
We know God opposes the proud. But some forms of social media seem to have redefined what pride is and what it’s not. For example: Imagine if I stood before our church and repeated things I had heard others say: “Joe Smith said, ‘Pastor Craig, you are the best preacher ever! Your sermons change...

The Take Back Offering
At Life.Church, one of our values is irrational generosity. But what does it mean to be irrationally generous? If we’re giving something away that goes above and beyond what’s expected, that’s probably a good start. One of the things first-time attenders might be surprised by is something we call t...
