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,...

Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast: Motivating Your Team

Behind the Music: "Irresistible"
What groups do you think are least worthy of your time? What about unworthy of love? It’s natural for us to draw the line somewhere, but there’s no stopping the irrational love of Jesus. That’s the heart behind “Irresistible,” a lighter, pop-tinged anthem with a catchy chorus. Use the accompanying Y...
