Outreach Leaders

Pew Research continues to report on the decline of Christianity in America. Many ministries are thinking about big solutions. But when was the last time you talked to a single person about Jesus?

After a two-year study process, our board of elders presented the changes to our church resulting in overwhelming approval, a unanimous vote. A key reason the process went so well was because they ruthlessly practiced leadership transparency.

An outward focused church cares for the congregation, works hard to keep ministries meaningful, but directs a substantial amount of thought, energy and resources to those who are outside the church.

I really just wanted to share with you what I’ve discovered as the ONLY prayer that works 100 percent of the time.

Dead people don’t come back and tell us what they’ve experienced. But we can know some things based on the Bible’s explanations. We don’t just disappear after we die. We live on in another location.

When I encounter these sins in an unhealthy church they become the subject of much of my teaching and leadership, since each of them have biblical implications. I am not afraid to challenge these head-on if needed

The rich young man thought he was acting in his own best interests by clinging to his wealth. He couldn’t have been more wrong.

It is my firm conviction that many organizations (especially churches) have  bad policies that need to improve. And, most likely, some policies that simply need to disappear.
