Be one. Build many.
While there are external reasons that churches begin to move the wrong direction, the majority of time it’s much closer to home. So in no order, here are some things I’ve seen church leaders do to unknowingly lead their churches towards being stuck.
Paul Alexander
Living with a bias toward action is essential to personal growth, and the personal growth of leaders is the basis for growth in any organization.
Brandon Cox
No one admits to being racist. Yet it may surprise you how many people actually are. And how about you? Is there a racist bone in your body? And, if so, what should you do about it?
Malcolm Webber
Change is a necessary part of leadership, so what are the principles for leading a healthy change process?
Vince Miller
Christian leadership is as transformational to us as it is to those we are called to lead.
Angela Herrington
Within this pandemic, our hearts long to go back to normal. But if our churches and our people are enslaved to our surplus, are we truly thriving as Christians and churches? Do we really want to go back to this?
Patrick Johnson
All selection involves risk and work, but creating a process that brings clarity, creates communication and makes honest assessments possible is fundamental to wise leader selection.
Jess MacCallum
Leaders must give hope for the future, mobilize people in a direction, and believe deep in the core of who they are that there are great opportunities on the horizon.
Eric Geiger
For me, in the midst of our lament, the Lord is reminding us that He is there with us in the midst of this global pandemic. Things may get worse, and they will get better, yet God is there with us along the way.
Joe Handley
In this series, we explore the blessings and dangers associated with them, as well as the best intentional responses to them to facilitate them in our lives. Today we discuss daily discipline.
Malcolm Webber
Pastors may lead the church as shepherds, but they are not the owners. They are not the only ones who will be held responsible for the condition of the church. That’s on us all.
Tyler Edwards
We all put off difficult decisions. It’s part of human nature. Churches and Christian organizations and leaders seem particularly prone to this failing. We want to appear loving. We want to be nice. But the consequences of delay may prove disastrous.
Rick James
How serious of a sin is it to not wait on God? Sure, all sins are equally evil in the sight of God. No debate there. But in terms of the consequences, it’s not that bad. Right? It’s just a little impatience. No different than getting impatient in traffic or a slow line at the grocery store. It happens to everyone.
Stephen Altrogge
Wise leaders learn from their previous experiences in cross-cultural situations. In this anecdote, Bill was well-prepared to face the physical challenges and slight inconveniences associated with his environment. One of his assumptions, however, resulted in a productive lesson learned in humility and vulnerability.
William Frisbie
Do you live a blessed life? Do you share the Blessing of all blessings with a world in search of it?
Stephen Vaughn
In this series, we explore the blessings and dangers associated with them, as well as the best intentional responses to them to facilitate them in our lives. Today we discuss the dramatic dealings of the Spirit.
Malcolm Webber
There are 500 cities in the world with a population exceeding one million people. YWAM has a ministry presence in about 134 of them. We know that God is calling us to greatly expand our outreach with hundreds of thousands of workers throughout the world. But we have to ask ourselves how we can we go about doing that.
