Battling Discouragement as a Pastor
As pastors, we can boldly believe and trust God and His promises—or believe lies whispered by the enemy. If you’re feeling disappointed, under utilized, or confused in this season, let’s be reminded of Romans 8:28. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who...

The Most Important Word
In many cases, the word “no” is more important than the word “yes.” To say “yes” to the  best  things, you’ll have to learn to say “no” to the  good things. In ministry, you will be overwhelmed with many good opportunities. But if you say “yes” to all of them, one d...

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...

4 Steps for Creating an Easter Photo Op
Easter is one of the biggest opportunities of the year for your church to share Christ with your community. In addition to the Easter message, worship, and prayers, having a photo-op area is one extra touch that can provide value and community to attenders. When you invite people to take a picture...

Be Good at Something Different
In ministry, most churches and leaders try to be good at what everyone else is good at doing. We’re all trying to improve our preaching, youth groups, kids’ curriculum, worship, environments, and countless other areas. The problem is that we’re not all blessed with the same gifts, and we're...

Good Social Media or a Prideful Heart?
We know God opposes the proud. But some forms of social media seem to have redefined what pride is and what it’s not. For example: Imagine if I stood before our church and repeated things I had heard others say: “Joe Smith said, ‘Pastor Craig, you are the best preacher ever! Your sermons cha...

A Year at a Glance
When you work as part of a team, everyone has different things they're focused on and contributing to, and it's important to stay organized. Many of our teams use a program called...

Breaking Up the Systems
Even a good ministry system will eventually limit what God wants to do if the system doesn’t evolve or totally change. (By system, I mean any program, structure, philosophy, or culture that shapes and helps produce a desired outcome.) Once people operate within a system long enough, they o...

Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast: 3 Questions for Anticipatory Leadership
The difference between a good leader and great leader is that great leaders learn to anticipate rather than react. So how can you determine where things are going? Start by asking: 1. What is happening? This is also known as situational awareness . Assess the current state of your orga...

Keeping Experiences Consistent Across Multiple Campuses
We believe that excellence honors God and inspires people. So as a multi-site church with more than 30 physical locations on a weekend, consistency and clarity must be the building blocks of excellence. For the most part, every service at Life.Church flows almost exactly the same at each l...

Behind the Music: "All Around"
It’s easy to claim the title “Christ follower” when things are going good in our lives. But what do we do when we face true adversity? We look to the cross. The accompanying resources and YouVersion Bible Plan for “All Around” encourage readers to examine the Bible as a growing, living par...

Letting Go of the Fear of Failure
The fear of failure paralyzes too many people. I’ve found one of the best gifts God can give a leader is the gift of failure. Too many of us are not doing what we feel called to do because we’re afraid to fail. As I observe the people around me, it seems the most effective have failed far m...

Design Philosophy in Kids Ministry
Our design philosophy for our children's classrooms is simple: keep it simple. We want parents to feel good about leaving their children with us for an hour, and that means rooms that are...
