Pastors

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.

Perfectionism often leads to a less than desirable outcome. 

Whenever we talk about church growth, the first thing that comes to mind is attendance. However, while helpful, it is not the best metric.

Tied to being a dynamic leader is innovation. To be innovative you must have one eye on where you are and another eye on where things will be. The innovator is able to build a path between the two!

When you realize that your spiritual growth can be an ongoing, never-ending process of renewal and development, each new day matters as much as the last.
