Think Ahead: Anticipate on Purpose
Successful people are often great at anticipating—the needs of others, the trends of the future, and the next steps that need to be taken. Make it a priority to intentionally practice anticipation in the following ways: • If you want to be promoted as an assistant, anticipate how you can bet...

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...

The Chat Is Where It's At
When you first navigate to a Church Online Platform service (see an example at https://live.life.church/) you see two main components: a video player and a chat window. We sometimes hear, "Why does your Church Online experience have chat…isn't it about watching the sermon?" Church online is ab...

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...

Promise and Deliver
A couple of years ago, we opened a new campus, and on launch day had three times the attendance we were expecting. As a result, we ended up behind the curve on many things: • We didn't have enough LifeGroups. • We recruited new volunteers on the fly. • We needed more staff to fill in the gaps...

The Right People
Asking the right questions is necessary to get valuable feedback. It’s also important to direct the right questions to the right people. When it comes to feedback, not all people are equal. Two groups that shouldn’t always be trusted include: ●Your greatest critics ●Your greatest fans...

The Team Behind the Scenes of an Experience
It takes a lot to execute services each weekend at our campuses. But no matter the size of your church, you will need a mix of skilled technical people and teachable volunteers to run your experience. We have a few skilled contractors on the weekend: a front-of-house (FOH) engineer and lighting...

4 Steps for Creating an Easter Photo Op
Easter is one of the biggest opportunities of the year for your church to share Christ with your community. In addition to the Easter message, worship, and prayers, having a photo-op area is one extra touch that can provide value and community to attenders. When you invite people to take a picture i...

Positive Projections
Since we are one church with multiple locations, we depend on screens and projectors to keep us all unified—with the teaching and with our core value of leading people to become fully devoted followers of Christ....

Campus Building Plans: Budgeting
If you’re like us at Life.Church, you want to be good stewards of the money you’ve been entrusted with. When it comes to budgeting for a new building, there will always be unanswerable questions—every situation is unique, and every set of resources and limitations affects the decisions you'll m...

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,...

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 Podcast: Institutionalizing Urgency, Part 2
Thank you for joining the Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast! In many organizations, urgency is not the default mode—complacency is. In the last episode, Institutionalizing Urgency, Part 1, Craig discussed two steps to declare war on complacency in your culture: embody healthy skepticism, and attack...

Training Your Church
If you don’t train your church to know which boundaries are appropriate, you likely won’t have many. If you are the senior pastor, you can set the tone publicly. I’d suggest a few of the following: Publicly communicate when your day off is. Talk about how important that day is to your family. At...
