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...
Giving & Finance
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...

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...
Leadership
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...
Leadership
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...
Staff Development
Developing Staff: Bring In. Build Up. Train. Send Out.
The purpose for our staff here at Life.Church is to bring in, build up, train, and then send out. We recognize that great staff aren't found but developed in the right environments. That's why we create those environments and bring people in. While they are with us, we build our staff up and train t...

What we worship shows what we value. True Worshipers is a one-week team-teach weekend focused around three things you need to be a true worshiper of God: awe, abandon, and intimacy....

Message Support: "Ghosts of Christmas Past"
For many, the most wonderful time of the year isn't so wonderful. A painful past or our own insecurities can overshadow the joy we’re supposed to be feeling. What if this year could look different? It’s time to let God heal the Ghosts of Christmas Past. Join us as Tome Dawson and Brandon Donaldson...
Leadership
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...
Worship
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...

Church Online: Reaching Past Physical Limitations
What we've learned: As Earth's population grows by leaps and bounds, God has equipped the modern church with tools that never before existed. It's our duty to do what no one else is doing in order to reach the people no one else is reaching. That's why we're so passionate about leveraging techno...

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 Do You Handle Criticism
One of the most common questions that I’m asked by young pastors is, “How do you handle the critics?” I’ve realized that no matter what a leader does, he or she will be criticized. For example, I’ve been criticized a lot for building the church around my preaching. When I started using more tea...

How to Partner with Local Christian Counselors
As pastors, we can help people understand what the Bible says about the issues they're going through, and we can help them draw closer to God. But sometimes we need to combine our efforts with the work of qualified Christian counselors to truly help someone heal. Join us as we explain how your churc...
Leadership
Be Good at Something Different
In ministry, most churches and leaders try to be good at what everyone else is good at doing. We’re all trying to improve our preaching, youth groups, kids’ curriculum, worship, environments, and countless other areas. The problem is that we’re not all blessed with the same gifts, and we're not...
