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...

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...

Creating an illumiNations Campaign Strategy for Your Church
Imagine if you tried to share the Gospel with someone, and they couldn’t understand any of the Bible. This is a reality for more than a billion people who still don’t have a complete Bible in their language. And more than 165 million people don’t have even one Bible verse in their language. Life.C...

The Death of the Five-Year Plan
When I started in ministry two decades ago, everyone I knew was making five-year plans. While thoughtful planning is wise and biblical, I’ve changed how I plan. Instead of planning for specific buildings, campuses, staff roles, and outreach, I plan to be prepared for opportunities that I can’t...

Creative Media: Celebrating 20 Years
The Life.Church brand update coincided with our 20 year anniversary in 2016, and we had a blast celebrating everything God has done. Perhaps the most poignant thing about our rebranding process was realizing how the brand isn’t just art elements that we create. The brand actually embodies the Life....

The Nobility of Stewardship
In his closing remarks, financial expert and best-selling author Dave Ramsey asks us to ponder what the people of God could do for the Kingdom if they were living debt free. This video is part of the Stewardship Conference—thanks to our partner, Financial Peace University, for sharing with Open Net...
Leadership
Letting Go of Control
To move forward, you often have to let go of something significant. Too often, what we hold tightly keeps us from following God’s promptings toward something new. Many leaders try to control too much. Our perceived need to control is one of the greatest limiting factors to what God wants to do....
Leadership
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,...
Kids
The Philosophy of Kids Ministry at Life.Church
A kids ministry can be so much more than babysitting or entertaining children. In our experience, kids of all ages have a God-breathed capacity for understanding the bigness, fullness, and depth of who He is. It's our job as kids, student, and youth leaders to help them engage with the Bible, with e...
Online Ministry
Church Online: Different Lobby, Same Ministry
No matter the "lobby"—whether it's a brick-and-mortar church building, a mission, a shelter, a park, an orphanage, or a grocery store—the ministry is always the same. As pastors, church leaders, and fully devoted followers of Christ, we're able to bring our mission field with us wherever we go. For...

Message Support: Anxious for Nothing
This series reminds us that despite the uncertainty of the world and the pressure we place on ourselves, Scripture directs us to release that anxiety to God. When we do, we don’t have to lie awake at night. Our shortness of breath can be replaced by life-giving rest. We can feel a peace that goes be...
Small Groups
Alpha Online
If churches are not able to physically run an Alpha course, we recommend moving Alpha online! We firmly believe that as churches innovate in these unforeseen circumstances, God can reach an even greater number of people. Here is everything you need to run Alpha online!...
Small Groups
Solving Small Group Challenges
There are a few common problems every small group ministry faces. At Life.Church, some creative solutions have helped us learn to conquer these obstacles. StaffingOne familiar predicament is how much staff should be devoted specifically to small groups. We always lean on the side of a smaller staff...

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...

Church Now | Church Next Event
Pastors and church leaders are facing some of the most unexpected and difficult circumstances in our most recent history. The way our churches operate and lead has been turned upside down, but hope is alive and well. During this event, we came together to understand where we’ve come up to now, and h...
