Pastors

There are pastors I knew who were faithful unto death, who faithfully served God all the way to the end of their lives. Here is what set them apart.

You’ve heard it a thousand times in leadership: People engage to VISION. But this suggestion is only partially correct.

Have you fallen for one of these superstitious church-growth myths?

I open the door and begin my day: “If I trust him to see what is done in secret, I will not need to be seen by men.”

Living and working in Hollywood for more than 30 years, I was thinking recently about the number of creative and media professionals I regularly meet who got their start working for a local church. 

If the last two decades have taught us anything (including the pandemic), churches must balance attracting unbelievers and engaging a discipleship pathway of surrender. The whole Gospel requires both.

We all have personality traits that are good and bad, and it’s important that we make the effort to control the traits that are potentially damaging to our leadership.

What if every leader improved by just 1% in what they do every year? Imagine how that could change the trajectory of a life over time. Let me encourage you to do whatever it takes to become better at what you do.
