Leading Into the Future
When I want to lead into the future, I usually look into the past to see what I can learn from any patterns. Sensing it was time to make some changes in our church culture, I prayerfully reflected over the different seasons of our church.I noticed a distinct pattern that repeated itself at least se...

Fully Devoted: Recording Live or in the Studio
What's the purpose of your project? It's a simple question, but it will help guide the creation of any new asset you're creating for your ministry. When it came to recording "Fully Devoted" to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of Life.Church, we knew that the purpose could be better served by record...

Message Support: Things Jesus Never Said
Jesus shared a lot of wisdom in the Bible. And lately, He also seems to share a ton on Instagram, on screen-printed mugs, and in those images your aunt posts on Facebook, too. But how much of it is true? Where’s the line between what He actually told us, and the Things Jesus Never Said? Jesus cam...

Leading in the Right Role
Before you step up to speak, before you have a developmental conversation, and before you cast vision, there’s one thing you have to do first. You need to clearly define the purpose. There are three important things to consider to define your purpose: • What you want people to know. Too oft...

Micro Churches, Mega Vision
I love to challenge myself to think about things from a different perspective, especially things I’ve taken at face value. For years, when people referenced our church, Life.Church, as a megachurch, I never gave the term a second thought: I simply thought it meant a big church. Upon more reflection,...

Prepare for Attacks
During a season of blessing, your staff and volunteers will be working overtime. Because the ministry is so exhilarating, your best people will gladly make huge sacrifices to be a part. While riding the wave of blessing, you will be: ●Hiring fast. ●Plugging new believers into significant...

When the Wave Dies Down
Waves come and waves go. When God blesses your ministry with a wave of impact and growth, you’ll be wise not to expect it to last forever. (If it does, you’ll be an exception—not the rule.) If the wave slows, don’t try to recreate it. Those who continue to keep doing what used to work, generall...

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...

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...

Don’t Fight Back
Some criticism of our ministries will be valid. Others will come from partially informed people who might never understand or endorse our philosophy of ministry. With the explosion of online critics, it is tempting to jump into a conversation to tell your side of the story. While there might be...

Leadership XP: Laying the Groundwork for an Internship Program
Before we created Leadership XP, our internship program here at Life.Church, we needed to lay the appropriate groundwork with our staff.
