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...

Creative Media: New Brand, New Name
Our name change from LifeChurch.tv to Life.Church gave us a great opportunity to focus our brand on the key elements that make up who we are. When planning your brand, stay true to who you are and create a brand that reinforces and builds up who you aspire to be....

Worth Revisiting: Excellence/Effectiveness
There are several principles that I seem to revisit when talking with pastors. A couple of these are the cost/excellence curve and the cost/effectiveness curve. If I gave you $100,000, could you make your house or apartment excellent? I imagine that with some careful investments in furniture...

Micro Churches, Mega Vision
I love to challenge myself to think about things from a different perspective, especially things I’ve taken at face value. For years, when people referenced our church, Life.Church, as a megachurch, I never gave the term a second thought: I simply thought it meant a big church. Upon more reflection...

How to Last in Ministry: Pastor Craig Groeschel
God has entrusted us as pastors and church leaders to share the Gospel, and we need to be the best version of ourselves to do so. That's why we’re sharing a very special talk Pastor Craig Groeschel gave exclusively to our Life.Church staff: "How to Thrive in Ministry." In this video, Pastor Craig...

Behind the Music: "Savior Forever"
“Savior Forever” examines the idea that God is continually pursuing us, even when we fall short of pursuing Him. This song is all about celebrating Christ’s victory over sin, and his victory over us, and that’s the heart of the accompanying resources and YouVersion Bible Plan. Readers will lea...

Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast: Giving and Receiving Feedback, Part 1
Without a doubt, one of the most important tools to develop in your organization is a consistent culture of feedback. Many of us want to know when we are doing something right, but we might also fear or avoid hearing feedback when we’re not. What’s interesting is that most people don’t know ho...

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,...

Several Speakers on One Weekend
Several times a year, Life.Church pastors and leaders 'team teach' with Pastor Craig. Team teaching allows you to take the baton from Pastor Craig and preach your own portion of the message. On Open, we provide flexibility for you to participate in team-teach or not. To participate, use the 'openi...

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...

New Campuses and the 'Core Four'
When we launch a new campus, staff is one of the primary needs. To get a new campus going in the most efficient way possible, we start with a staff of four. We love people who can multi-task...

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...

Leading in the Right Role
Before you step up to speak, before you have a developmental conversation, and before you cast vision, there’s one thing you have to do first. You need to clearly define the purpose. There are three important things to consider to define your purpose: • What you want people to kno...
