Setting Capacity and Leader Ratios in LifeKids
Excellence—it guides everything we do at LifeKids. It’s why we created the Excellence Walk Checklist. It’s why we carefully craft our curriculum. It’s why we never settle for “good enough.” And that includes our capacity for kids rooms. We get a lot of questions about how we determine leader-to-ch...

The Imaginary Deadline
For years, I struggled with managing my time effectively. One tool that has dramatically increased my effectiveness is the “imaginary deadline.” If I’ve got a project without a deadline, it’s easy to procrastinate or work halfheartedly. But, when an assignment has a hard deadline, I start faste...

Second Chance Sunday Toolkit
No life is beyond God’s reach. Just as God forgives our sins and offers us a second chance, the Bible shows us that we can offer a second chance to people who have paid their debt to society. Do you share Prison Fellowship’s passion for breaking down barriers? If you believe in second chances, we i...

Hoping for a Win vs. Creating a Win
There’s a big difference between hoping for a win and creating a win. I want the team to feel positive, like we’re getting somewhere and doing something. To do that, our goals need to be specific, measurable, and defined. We have to know what we’re going to accomplish and when we’re going to do i...
Giving & Finance
The Take Back Offering
At Life.Church, one of our values is irrational generosity. But what does it mean to be irrationally generous? If we’re giving something away that goes above and beyond what’s expected, that’s probably a good start. One of the things first-time attenders might be surprised by is something we call t...
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...

When the Bicycle Threatened the Church
In 1896, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church condemned bicycling on Sunday for enticing parishioners away from church and violating the Fourth Commandment: The Sabbath, the Lord’s Day of rest for the body, and of worship for the soul, is especially threatened by many unscriptural in...

How to Neighbor: CarePortal
At Life.Church, we believe the local church is the hope of the world. That’s because the church isn’t just a building. The “capital C” Church is all about showing Christ’s love through its people. Scripture specifically calls us to care for orphans and widows (James 1:27). We looked closely at...

5 Days of Leadership with Pastor Craig | Day 2: Lead Through Change
Day 2: Lead through change.As you evaluate your culture and values, you may see some patterns and issues that require your church or organization to change. A common belief is that people resist change because they hate change. But I don’t think that’s true. People don’t hate change; they hate the...

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...
