Pastors

Unlearning false narratives when they’re discovered is important, especially for leaders.

When choosing leaders, keep these four ideas in mind: Look for people who think, look for people who act, look for people whose lives you can observe, and look for people who deeply depend on God.

“My friend,” John Adams wrote to Thomas Jefferson toward the end of both their lives, “you and I have lived in serious times.”

So, what’s wrong with preparing sermons alone? If almost everyone does it this way, how could it be so bad?

Among these questions for church leaders the longest list will be the second one – what needs tweaking. The shortest will be the third – what needs killing.

"I’m so glad I get to call you my son! I’m pleased with you. I’m proud of you. You add joy to my life every single day!"

it's clear to me that one of the most prevalent afflictions might be termed a church's culture of complacency. Complacency in the church is a plague.

Life and ministry can sometimes beat you up. And when that happens, we don’t need a kick, we need a lift.
