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!!!...

The Most Important Word
In many cases, the word “no” is more important than the word “yes.” To say “yes” to the best things, you’ll have to learn to say “no” to the good things. In ministry, you will be overwhelmed with many good opportunities. But if you say “yes” to all of them, one day you won’t be able to say “...

How to Talk with Teens about Suicide
Teens deal with serious, real-life issues in their day-to-day lives, which is why we aren’t afraid to tackle heavy topics at Switch, our youth ministry at Life.Church. Suicide can be a tough topic to address, but starting the conversation with students might help alleviate some of the stigma and ev...

Leadership Podcast: Creating a Value-Driven Culture, Part 1
