Following the Recipe
It’s not unusual for ministries to take a close look at other churches. Often, they’re in search of the recipe for success. It’s great that churches can learn from each other. Our church has certainly been helped by it, and we hope other churches have found value in what we’ve been able to o...

Obeying God in Spite of the Data
What we've learned: "Data has a seat at the table"—it's something we say a lot here at Life.Church. The distinction is that even though we place a high value on collecting and analyzing data (that's why we created Church Metrics , after all), it still only has one seat at our decision-...

Strategic Disruptions
The longer you do ministry, the easier it becomes to minister from memory. You tend to do what you've always done. It is safe, comfortable, and convenient. To stay spiritually and creatively fresh, I suggest “strategic disruptions.” To me, this is intentionally disrupting the routine, mundan...

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. Ph...

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 ne...

All About Honor
In a series we did called Forgotten Virtues , the first message I taught was on honor. If you're interested, you can  download the messages here . When Jesus said, "a prophet is without honor in his hometown," the Greek word he used was “atimos” (pronounced at’-ee’-mos). It means...

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!!...

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 ho...

Facebook Live: Recruiting and Onboarding Small Groups Leaders
We know people grow closer to Christ when they're in community, and we know that for many churches, August through September is the perfect time to help attenders find community through small groups. And that all starts with strong small group leaders. We were live on Facebook with Kayla Sieg...

LifeGroups: What to Keep, Stop, and Start
It's a great practice for any area of ministry: ask yourself, "What should we keep doing, stop doing, and start doing?" In this training we take that "keep, stop, start" lens and apply it to our LifeGroups ministry. Hear some great practical examples about what's worked for us and what hasn't, an...

LifeGroups & Small Groups: Know, Feel, Do
Whatever you call them in your church—Bible studies, home groups, LifeGroups, small groups—they are where life happens. We're all designed by God to live in community with each other, and LifeGroups are a great place to plug in with other Christians. As pastors and leaders, we can do a lot to cre...
