Leadership

Letting Go of Control

To move forward, you often have to let go of something significant. Too often, what we hold tightly keeps us from following God’s promptings toward something new. Many leaders try to control too much. Our perceived need to control is one of the greatest limiting factors to what God wants to...

Leadership

Letting Go of Old Assumptions

The world is changing faster every day. Too many Christian leaders are working off of old assumptions rather than new revelations. When we assume that our way of doing ministry is best: ●We stop learning from others. ●We rarely try something new. ●We quickly see faults in new ide...

Letting Go of What People Think

Becoming obsessed with what people think about you is the fastest way to forget what God thinks about you. My mom taught me the common truth, “You can’t please everyone.” From my observation, ministers seem to be more vulnerable to people-pleasing than most professions. In reality, we s...

Leadership

Lazy People Don’t Need Vision to Be Lazy

Churches who decide to go multi-site often do so by adding campuses in nearby cities. Sometimes, churches will promote these new locations to their attenders as a convenience: “Now you can get to church in half the time!” Those same churches are somewhat surprised when the evangelism temperature...

Promise and Deliver

A couple of years ago, we opened a new campus, and on launch day had three times the attendance we were expecting. As a result, we ended up behind the curve on many things: We didn't have enough LifeGroups. We recruited new volunteers on the fly. We needed more staff to fill in the gaps...
