Pastors

Something’s driving your church. There are good ways to run a church and there are bad ways to run a church . . . the challenge for many church leaders is no one is really quite clear on what that is.

In a day when almost every church would say they want to reach the unchurched, why isn’t it happening more often? Why are churches better known for their rhetoric about reaching the unchurched than the reality of actually doing it?

When we focus on our real work over busywork, we see intentional progress toward a focused vision or goal, rather than just checking things off a list.

I'd like to share what every pastor needs, but won't tell you. Fortunately, the Bible does.

Because we live in a world with sickness and disease, church leaders will encounter families navigating a child medical crisis either first or secondhand. The more proactive the church can be in serving these families, the better.

If you communicate on any level, what’s your goal? What do you hope happens during and, more importantly, after you speak?

Recently, a company of pastors--of which I have been a part for 8 or so years––was discussing what practical steps a minister can take in order to improve his preaching.

I’ve learned that if I prioritize a few key choices, my life and leadership dramatically improve and my ministry becomes more effective. I encourage these three priorities for every pastor.
