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...

An Outsider's Words Often Mean More
I see it as one of my biggest roles to encourage and strengthen our staff. Almost every time we gather, I remind them they are part of something special. But no matter how often I say it, it doesn’t mean as much as when an outsider tells them. We’ve been blessed to have Dr. Sam Chand, Chris...

Three Questions for Worship Pastors
At first glance, it seems like a Worship Pastor's main priority is to sing. While singing is the medium, pastoring is the goal. Worship Pastors are responsible for one of the most real, vulnerable, spiritual parts of a church experience—when we tell God how wonderful He is and let him minister to...
Leadership
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...

Letting Go of the Fear of Failure
The fear of failure paralyzes too many people. I’ve found one of the best gifts God can give a leader is the gift of failure. Too many of us are not doing what we feel called to do because we’re afraid to fail. As I observe the people around me, it seems the most effective have failed far more...

At Life.Church, we’re passionate about being the hands and feet of Jesus to those around us. Our message series How to Neighbor shows us just how to do that by reaching out to the lonely, those who are different than us, the orphans, and the poor. One of the best ways "neighbor" is to partner...

Creative Media: Creating a Brand Book
In 2016, we rolled out an extensive brand update. For us, keeping everyone on the same page during our brand update was really important. We had a few meetings but the thing that helped the most was creating a solid, clear brand book that outlined every use-case for the brand. When you're dealing wi...

Leadership XP: Laying the Groundwork for an Internship Program
Before we created Leadership XP, our internship program here at Life.Church, we needed to lay the appropriate groundwork with our staff. First, we established the goal of the program and made sure everyone was on the same page. If your goal is to grow leaders, make sure everyone knows that. If you...

Tips for Year-End Giving
It’s part of the natural rhythm of the year: giving tends to increase during the Christmas season. At Life.Church, we don’t take this for granted. We’re intentional about being humble and being good stewards of our resources, and that includes how we approach our tithing and giving communication at...

Does the Size of Your Church Matter? (Part 2)
Someone told me, “I love your church, but it is just too big for me.” Their statement raises some questions: • When is a church just the right size? Is 12 just right? How about 120? Maybe 3,000? • When does a church become too big? Is there a magic number? Is it when all the people can no long...

Don’t Fight Back
Some criticism of our ministries will be valid. Others will come from partially informed people who might never understand or endorse our philosophy of ministry. With the explosion of online critics, it is tempting to jump into a conversation to tell your side of the story. While there might be...
