Personal Generosity
Several pastors have complained to me that most people in their churches are not generous. I’m guessing that the churches are a reflection of its leaders. If our ministries aren’t generous, it is probably because we aren’t either. Several years ago, God started moving our family toward a much m...
Staff Development
Being Open-Handed with Our Staff
We believe our greatest resource is our people, our staff, and it is our job to steward them well for the season they are with us. Seasons have beginnings and ends, so we are intentional about developing and equipping our staff for whatever God has next for them. And when the time comes for a staff...

Developing Staff: Bring In. Build Up. Train. Send Out.
The purpose for our staff here at Life.Church is to bring in, build up, train, and then send out. We recognize that great staff aren't found but developed in the right environments. That's why we create those environments and bring people in. While they are with us, we build our staff up and train t...

Church Online: Different Lobby, Same Ministry

As pastors, church leaders, and fully devoted followers of Christ, we're able to bring our mission field with us wherever we go. For...

The Code: What Matters Most
The Code. It's what we call our set of core values here at Life.Church. This is different than our statement of faith—it has more to do with focus and perspective. As the church grew and changed over the years, we realized...

Keeping Things in Perspective
While uneducated or cruel critics can be distracting, try to keep things in perspective. Where I live, Christians are rarely in danger for being Christians. Countless believers have suffered gravely for their faith in Christ. If all we have to do is endure a few people complaining, blogging, or wr...

Leading New Believers Through Tithing
At Life.Church, we like to say we will do anything short of sin to reach people for Christ. That might include things like using movies or popular TV commercials in church to illustrate truths from the Bible. As a result of being really focused about reaching the lost, we often have a lot of visitor...

Five Ways to Increase Your Leadership Capacity
Capacity—it's how much you can handle and how much you can produce. When you have your first child, you think you're maxed out. All the diapers and crying are more than you can handle. But then you have a second and a third child—and you realize you're getting better and better at the things that...

5 Days of Leadership with Pastor Craig | Day 5: Lead Yourself
Day 5: Lead yourself.The most important person you will ever lead is yourself. We've discussed leading and growing our church, but in this new year it's important not to forget yourself in the process. One of the biggest factors in growing as leaders is your inner dialogue. When you wake up and be...

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...

The Take Back Offering
At Life.Church, one of our values is irrational generosity. But what does it mean to be irrationally generous? If we’re giving something away that goes above and beyond what’s expected, that’s probably a good start. One of the things first-time attenders might be surprised by is something we call t...

If you've used the Switch curriculum in the past or are just getting started, these four strategies will help you implement this semester's messages: 1. Increase attendance (and FOM...

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...
