The Phases of My Faith
When God wants to change my life, he changes my perspective. As He reframes the way I see the world around me, I start to think and act differently. When it comes to my faith, three phases stand out as particularly formative in the continuing journey of becoming who God has created me to be. Phase...

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...

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...

Does the Size of Your Church Matter? (Part 3)
One option for those who prefer small churches is to pray like crazy that you don’t reach new people, so your church will stay small–just the way you like it! Here are some more options: ●Start new churches. Instead of trying to bring people in, let’s send some people out. ●Start or parti...

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....

Meaningful and Organized: Baptism Weekends at Life.Church
Baptism is one of the most memorable moments in the life of a believer. They’ve made the decision to follow Christ, and they’re ready to show the world what God has done. It’s a beautiful symbol of dying to their old life and being made into a new creation. Since it’s such a special occasion, we wa...
Staff Development
Being Open-Handed with Our Staff
We believe our greatest resource is our people, our staff, and it is our job to steward them well for the season they are with us. Seasons have beginnings and ends, so we are intentional about developing and equipping our staff for whatever God has next for them. And when the time comes for a staff...

Does the Size of Your Church Matter? (Part 4)
I love small businesses. I bought my only television from a local, small business. They delivered it, set it up, and called a week later to see how I liked it. Great service. I decided to get a second television so I could watch football while my kids watched whatever reality show they watch. S...

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...

The Code: What Matters Most
The Code. It's what we call our set of core values here at Life.Church. This is different than our statement of faith—it has more to do with focus and perspective. As the church grew and changed over the years, we realized...
Leadership
Higher Threshold for Chaos
When we’re entering into a new season, I always challenge our leaders to have a higher threshold for chaos. Systems tend to produce predictable outcomes. When we are innovating and growing, we never know what the outcome will be. Many ideas we think will be great turn out to be duds. On the...

Is Anyone Listening?
With social media, many people express what’s going on inside their hearts with the same level of transparency as sharing what they had for lunch. “Out too late partying last night = overslept my alarm this morning. Guess I’ll be having ‘car trouble’ again.” “Yay, lunch! It’s burger & fries day!!!...
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...
