You won’t find one who doesn’t.

It’s the very essence of what it takes to be a great leader.

If you’re wondering what makes a God-honoring leader, you much include this key characteristic.

It’s a sophomore mistake.

“Organic growth” sounds spiritual and maybe biblical, but it is neither. It also does not work. 

Watch today to find out why believing your church will grow organically” is a Ministry Myth.

Today’s video shares an all-too-common concept that prevents forward momentum. It stalemates too many leaders. 

Too often we create the blocks to progress. I hear it a lot from leaders and churches who are not getting traction towards increased ministry effectiveness.

The good thing about identifying this “boxed-in approach” is you can change it. It is TOTALLY under your control.

Managing Multiple Ministries, Key #5 also applies if you have been in a ministry for a long time.

Every ministry (and I rarely use the word “every”) needs a clear mission/vision. Otherwise, nobody really knows what we are seeking to accomplish as a collective. But very often you should not work on the mission until some things get cleared up.

How do you know if what you are seeing is a major issue that needs to be addressed immediately?

Today’s video shows you three ways to know if you need to deal with it NOW.

New leaders want to make a great impact, so they believe handling the problems brought to them will help grant them credibility and momentum towards moving the ministry/church forward.

It’s a common error.

If you find yourself with a new ministry assignment, this key will help you greatly increase your effectiveness as a leader. Following this key will also prevent you from taking time away from what you really should be doing.

Then you work to accomplish it.

Problem is, we fall short. Sometimes (if we are honest), our new idea doesn’t seem to gain much traction. Then, we wonder why.

We accomplish some good things. But, when we take a step back and look at the effort and time we invest, the results we get aren’t all that extraordinary.

Today’s video shares one key principle to change the trajectory of your life and ministry. 

(If that sentence, “to change the trajectory of your life and ministry” seems like hyperbole, like it could never happen to you – through you, today’s video was designed for you.)

The truth is God can do great things through you. And, even more so, God desires to achieve kingdom initiatives through you.

Follow the principle in this video as a regular pattern of your life and you will see God do “exceedingly, abundantly above all you ask or think.” (Ephesians 3:20). That’s what I’m chasing. Today’s video shows you one necessary component for you to see it, too.

Church governance determines the structure your church uses for leadership. It’s the format your leaders follow to make decisions, establish controls, determine direction and handle problems.

Sometimes governance is called “polity.” Polity comes from the word “polis” in the Greek language, which means city. It often referred to municipal government, i.e., the way cities were governed.

Churches, as organizations, need a system of polity to function effectively. Many different opinions exist about how churches should be structured.

Today’s video shares the worst form of church governance.

Who wants to give part of their life to fill out somebody else’s org chart?

To maximize the potential volunteer’s motivation and the escalation of your church’s mission, include this key component.
