Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast: Giving and Receiving Feedback, Part 1
Without a doubt, one of the most important tools to develop in your organization is a consistent culture of feedback. Many of us want to know when we are doing something right, but we might also fear or avoid hearing feedback when we’re not. What’s interesting is that most people don’t know how t...

Worship Recording Tips: Building the Plane in the Air
For our first live-recording project, we had to learn a few things as we went. One was that live recordings aren't as easily controlled as studio recordings, so we had to go back and do a little post-production polishing. We learned a lot from other ministries like Elevation Church that have gone be...

New Seasons Means New People
When a ministry enters a new season, we must open the door for new leaders. The “old guard” often resents new seasons. I’m a big believer in working hard to lead the tenured believers toward new life. Sometimes, though, they refuse to move forward. In those times, we have to help people grow...

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...

Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast: How to Inspire Your Team
Thank you for joining the Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast! According to an IBM study of 1,700 CEOs in 64 countries, one of the top three qualities a leader can possess is the ability to inspire people to action.

Planting a New Campus with the Right Heart
If you lead an existing church or campus, and you hear that your church will be planting a new church, campus, or multi-site location, it can be hard to keep your heart right. You may feel like you're losing attenders, losing the tithe, or losing the cachet you alone had enjoyed in your town. We s...

Don't Wait for Perfection
When launching anything new, most people want it to be perfect. But, opening before it is perfect is often better than waiting for perfection. One of my friends opened a yogurt store before he had signs, pictures, or decorations. Instead of a cool clock on the wall, he put up a piece of paper w...

Leading New Believers Through Tithing
At Life.Church, we like to say we will do anything short of sin to reach people for Christ. That might include things like using movies or popular TV commercials in church to illustrate truths from the Bible. As a result of being really focused about reaching the lost, we often have a lot of visitor...

Create a Welcoming Environment for New Guests
It only takes seven seconds in a new environment for a guest to decide whether they’ll come back, so this means your parking lot and lobby are critical for your Christmas services. Learn tips for using your space to connect people to Jesus....

Good Social Media or a Prideful Heart?
We know God opposes the proud. But some forms of social media seem to have redefined what pride is and what it’s not. For example: Imagine if I stood before our church and repeated things I had heard others say: “Joe Smith said, ‘Pastor Craig, you are the best preacher ever! Your sermons change...

Why We Don't Do Church Membership (New)
At Life.Church, one of our goals is to be spiritual contributors, not spiritual consumers. We've found, however, that church membership does not necessarily encourage this attitude in the most effective way. Instead, we believe that when people feel needed and known, they are drawn to engage and co...

Church Online: Church of the Highlands
Hear Pastor David Russell from Church of the Highlands share how their ministry has leveraged church online to reach new people. He shares their approach to online ministry and how other churches can embrace this season as an opportunity to leverage new technology to share the Gospel....

Church Online: Reaching Past Physical Limitations
What we've learned: As Earth's population grows by leaps and bounds, God has equipped the modern church with tools that never before existed. It's our duty to do what no one else is doing in order to reach the people no one else is reaching. That's why we're so passionate about leveraging techno...
