When the Wave Dies Down
Waves come and waves go. When God blesses your ministry with a wave of impact and growth, you’ll be wise not to expect it to last forever. (If it does, you’ll be an exception—not the rule.) If the wave slows, don’t try to recreate it. Those who continue to keep doing what used to work, generall...

The Death of the Five-Year Plan
When I started in ministry two decades ago, everyone I knew was making five-year plans. While thoughtful planning is wise and biblical, I’ve changed how I plan. Instead of planning for specific buildings, campuses, staff roles, and outreach, I plan to be prepared for opportunities that I can’t...

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...

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...
