Leading the Way with Small Groups
“Church” is much more than a weekly experience. Being the "capital “C” Church includes serving, giving, and engaging with God and others. A healthy, thriving, small group ministry is a necessary component to Christian community, but can be difficult to build effectively. At Life.Church, we enco...

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...

Leadership Podcast: Creating a Value-Driven Culture, Part 1
Thank you for joining the Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast! Culture is more than a building or the signage hanging around it. A culture is more than an environment. Great ministries, brands, and organizations are full of intangibles created and guarded by the leader. What those intangibles ar...

The Most Important Word
In many cases, the word “no” is more important than the word “yes.” To say “yes” to the best things, you’ll have to learn to say “no” to the good things. In ministry, you will be overwhelmed with many good opportunities. But if you say “yes” to all of them, one day you won’t be able to say “...

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...

Lazy People Don’t Need Vision to Be Lazy
Churches who decide to go multi-site often do so by adding campuses in nearby cities. Sometimes, churches will promote these new locations to their attenders as a convenience: “Now you can get to church in half the time!” Those same churches are somewhat surprised when the evangelism temperature f...
Leadership
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...

Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast: Principles of Higher Hiring, Part 2
Thank you for joining the Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast! You can have the best product, the best strategy, and the best vision, but without the best people, your organization will always be limited! In last month's episode, we talked about two principles of making great hires. Today, we'll talk...

Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast: Motivating Your Team
When we think about motivation, it’s easy to start with the wrong assumption about people. People are not unmotivated. Everyone is motivated by something—they’re just not all motivated by the same things. In fact, let’s look at a good leader’s definition of motivation: The art of leading someone to...

Today, we’re picking up where Craig left off in Part 1 of "It’s About Time" where he shared the first two of his fo...

Working Lean: When a Small Staff Is Better
At first, it just doesn't make sense – but it's true. A small staff is often better than a large one. Here at Life.Church, we've found that when a team or campus is slightly overstaffed, progress generally slows down. And when that same team or campus is slightly understaffed, we usually take m...

The Phases of My Faith
When God wants to change my life, he changes my perspective. As He reframes the way I see the world around me, I start to think and act differently. When it comes to my faith, three phases stand out as particularly formative in the continuing journey of becoming who God has created me to be. Phase...

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. Employees who work for an inspirational leader are enthused, encouraged, energized,...

Is Anyone Listening?
With social media, many people express what’s going on inside their hearts with the same level of transparency as sharing what they had for lunch. “Out too late partying last night = overslept my alarm this morning. Guess I’ll be having ‘car trouble’ again.” “Yay, lunch! It’s burger & fries day!!!...

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,...
