What Church Plants Get Right: 3 Lessons Every Church Should Learn

I’m now at the age where my kids are better at technology than I am. They can click, point and scroll at a rate I can barely comprehend. (It seems like only yesterday, I was the young wiz programming my parent’s VCR.) This new phase keeps me humble and allows me to learn from those […]

Rediscovering the True Origins of Kingdom Multiplication

Many of us have bought the misconception that multiplication is simply organizational in nature. This lie gains traction as we consistently talk and strategize about multiplying campuses and churches, but this misconception ends up stifling growth and kingdom impact. So let’s be clear, kingdom multiplication always starts with individual Christ followers. As a Christ follower, […]

The Power of Tension: How Embracing Discomfort Can Increase Your Impact

A quick analysis of your life will tell you that tension is good.  The tension of not understanding Algebra leads to learning. The tension of weight-lifting leads to more strength. Tension in relationships leads to unity and personal development. The New Testament is filled with tension as well. The tension between Jesus and his disciples. […]

Sunday Morning Isn’t Enough To Power Your Church

Every group, team, organization, and community has a force that drives it. I live in Las Vegas, and many people think entertainment drives our city. Actually, it’s really the hospitality industry that drives our community. (There is a subtle difference.)  Churches also have a driving force.  For several decades, the American church has relied on […]

6 Ways to Make Your Christmas Season Feel Less Frazzled

The Christmas Season is one of the hardest on church leaders. You are trying to plan dynamic services that are a part of family traditions. You are crafting creative insights from a story many people have heard every year. (I heard one pastor say he knew he had gone too far when he started telling […]

Timing is Everything: 5 Reasons to attend the ChurchOS Conference in January 2023

My life was unexpectedly changed at a church leadership conference. God opened my eyes to the fact that the gathering of the Ninety-nine finds its purpose in reaching and growing the ONE! The focus of my leadership instantly changed. The trajectory of my life had been forever altered. This realization made all the difference. The […]

Engagement Path Tuneup: 4 Questions to Help

It is early November. Thanksgiving is on the horizon, and Christmas is barreling toward us.  This means that three of your church’s four largest attendance periods occur in the next five months (Christmas, New Year’s, and Easter. The other is the beginning of the fall/back-to-school period.) Most churches do an excellent job planning for these […]

Comparing Numbers

I didn’t go to the doctor for my annual check-up for a season in my life. I was young and relatively healthy, so I thought, why bother? Now that I have passed more milestone birthdays, it is a yearly occurrence. The pattern is consistent year-to-year. They take some blood, my vitals, and my weight. They […]

3 Uses for Good Metrics

Since the 1970s, my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers have won six Super Bowls. The game has changed dramatically from Jack Lambert to TJ Watt, but football is full of metrics and analysis to help a team celebrate, learn and prioritize action. Points win the game, but it is measured in yards, turnovers, and tackles. Throughout this […]

The Path to Meaningful Metrics

In our work with churches, we consistently hear leaders want more on this important topic. In fact, this one area scores the lowest in our Church Activation Assessment when leaders assess themselves on how they are doing in activating the Great Commission. So, we’re back again this time with another look at church metrics. Our last post acknowledged that church leaders […]
