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-...

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...

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...

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...

The Season for Small Groups
As you're doing church, you'll start to notice natural ebbs and flows in the year—learning to anticipate and leverage those different seasons can strengthen different parts of your ministry at different times. Here, we'll look at how for North American and Western churches August and September are...

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...

Bible Adventure: The Research Behind the Resource
To create the Bible App for Kids Curriculum, our Content Team spent hours studying the learning habits of preschoolers and reviewing successful kids programming. The result was a two-year curriculum for ages 2 through 5 that keeps preschoolers' attention and teaches them about Christ. In anything...

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!!...

The Philosophy of Kids Ministry at Life.Church
A kids ministry can be so much more than babysitting or entertaining children. In our experience, kids of all ages have a God-breathed capacity for understanding the bigness, fullness, and depth of who He is. It's our job as kids, student, and youth leaders to help them engage with the Bible, with...

How to Talk with Teens about Suicide
Teens deal with serious, real-life issues in their day-to-day lives, which is why we aren’t afraid to tackle heavy topics at Switch, our youth ministry at Life.Church. Suicide can be a tough topic to address, but starting the conversation with students might help alleviate some of the stigma and...

Series Length: 3 Weeks (As a reminder, sermon content is being planned week-to-week in this season and is subject to change.) Series Context: Pain. Anxiety. Frustration. Our struggles don't always have answers in the moment—but even when we can't see it, they always have a purpose. D...
