Lesson Learned: People Before Policies
In any ministry—especially kid's ministry—there are often too many rules and policies to keep track of, and it's easy to get bogged down by all the procedures. If and when that happens, take stock of your priorities and bring it to God. If the rules and policies are getting in the way of safe, mean...

Preschool Curriculum & Bible App for Kids: A Perfect Match
We want our preschool-aged children to be more than entertained during church—we want them to really learn about Jesus and the Bible. So, we created a two-year curriculum that works hand-in-hand with...

Leadership
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...
Leadership
Fasting From Church Stuff
For years I tried to learn from and be like other ministers. I listened to messages, attended conferences, and devoured every Christian book I could. Each time I met a new leader, I tried to become more like them. A few years ago though, God led me to do something very different. (I'm not ne...
Leadership
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...
Leadership
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...

Leadership
The Imaginary Deadline
For years, I struggled with managing my time effectively. One tool that has dramatically increased my effectiveness is the “imaginary deadline.” If I’ve got a project without a deadline, it’s easy to procrastinate or work halfheartedly. But, when an assignment has a hard deadline, I start fa...
Leadership
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...

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...
