Let me inject a word of caution taking this whole issue to seriously. It is one thing to go to great lengths to make the nursery secure from non-custodial parents kidnapping their own kids or a pedophile molesting a child. it is another thing for churches to put bars on the windows and doors […]
What would happen to your ministry if every year you chose a dozen lay people you felt had potential and spent the year discipling them? What would happen if every paid staff person on your staff did the same?
Suggestions for such an experiment
Begin the time exploring the movement and antics of the church in […]
The mistake most churches make trying to develop a small group system is that they focus on starting small groups. Instead, they should focus on developing leaders who develop other leaders and release them for ministry. There are a minimum of four levels of leaders needed for such a system to multiply and be […]
It’s hard to believe how stupid and un-Christian so-called Christians can be. The pastor, Terry Jones, who burned the Koran today, ought to be kicked out of the church. No mercy for an idiot of his kind who presumes to be called by God. Shades of the Crusades. This man needs to be defrocked. […]

I will be at Exponential 2011 this year on all three days for four workshops. If you plan on being there, it would be great to connect. Just email me and let me know.
Exponential is one of the largest gatherings of church planters on the planet. It delivers quite a punch over three days. If […]
This year people will spend 2.1 billion on Easter Candy. You read that correctly- 21 billion. Thank what could be done with that amount of money to do good instead of putting pounds on the average person.
So the next time you decide to take a bite of that chocolate Easter bunny think how many […]
Well, I could list several but one stands out above all the rest – the pastor gets caught up in the church machinery and loses sight of what makes it all go around – building the Kingdom one person at a time.
I’ve watched dozens of church planters get 125 people in worship by focusing […]
