And, when you’re new to church, walking into the doors of a church for the first time can be intimidating or down-right scary. As you think about this new wave of attenders, walk through your c...

Fasting From Church Stuff
For years I tried to learn from and be like other ministers. I listened to messages, attended conferences, and devoured every Christian book I could. Each time I met a new leader, I tried to become more like them. A few years ago though, God led me to do something very different. (I'm not neces...

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,...

Leading Your Church Out of Crisis
