The Power of Feedback
One of the greatest tools for a leader or speaker is truthful feedback. Unfortunately, in our church cultures, we often develop feedback-averse environments. People might find themselves in one of two wrong extremes: 1) We believe that a leader (or preacher) should have heard from God...

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...

Creating an illumiNations Campaign Strategy for Your Church
Imagine if you tried to share the Gospel with someone, and they couldn’t understand any of the Bible. This is a reality for more than a billion people who still don’t have a complete Bible in their language. And more than 165 million people don’t have even one Bible verse in their language. L...

Message Support: Things Jesus Never Said
Jesus shared a lot of wisdom in the Bible. And lately, He also seems to share a ton on Instagram, on screen-printed mugs, and in those images your aunt posts on Facebook, too. But how much of it is true? Where’s the line between what He actually told us, and the Things Jesus Never Said ? Jesus...

Does the Size of Your Church Matter? (Part 4)
I love small businesses. I bought my only television from a local, small business. They delivered it, set it up, and called a week later to see how I liked it. Great service. I decided to get a second television so I could watch football while my kids watched whatever reality show they watch...

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...

Setting Capacity and Leader Ratios in LifeKids
Excellence—it guides everything we do at LifeKids. It’s why we created the Excellence Walk Checklist . It’s why we carefully craft our curriculum. It’s why we never settle for “good enough.” And that includes our capacity for kids rooms. We get a lot of questions about how we determine leade...

Positive Projections
Since we are one church with multiple locations, we depend on screens and projectors to keep us all unified—with the teaching and with our core value of leading people to become fully devoted followers of Christ....

Where Do We Grow from Here
No matter the size, age or denomination of our churches, there’s one question we should all be asking. It’s simple yet significant. It applies to your church as a whole, but also individual ministries. It compels you to develop vision and strategy, and keeps you outwardly focused. The answer isn...

The Summer Slump
Most churches experience a summer slump. This can mean attendance drops, giving slows down, and volunteers don't show up. As leaders, what should we do during down times? Although I can’t answer the question for you specifically, I would say, “Do something intentional!" Here are some ide...

Solving Small Group Challenges
There are a few common problems every small group ministry faces. At Life.Church, some creative solutions have helped us learn to conquer these obstacles. Staffing One familiar predicament is how much staff should be devoted specifically to small groups. We always lean on the side of a smaller st...

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 th...

Campus Building Plans: Budgeting
If you’re like us at Life.Church, you want to be good stewards of the money you’ve been entrusted with. When it comes to budgeting for a new building, there will always be unanswerable questions—every situation is unique, and every set of resources and limitations affects the decisions...

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...
