Chances are that if you’re a Christian, your desire is to be more like Christ.
That’s great.
But are you?
How would you know?
A Barna study done a few years ago owned me.
The survey revealed that 51% of the North American Christians polled have attitudes and actions more like those of the Pharisees than those of Christ.
In other words, the attitudes of most Christians were described as self-righteous and hypocritical.
According to the study, only 14% of Christians surveyed reflected attitudes and actions that better resembled the attitudes and actions of Christ.
What surprised me (as wel ..read more

What do you need to become a super healthy leader over the long haul?
Too many leaders get discouraged, drained, and defeated over the long haul in leadership. None of them set out to end up that way, but without careful attention to important disciplines, it happens.
That question can seem difficult to answer until you realize that leaders who do well in the long run all seem to adopt common habits and practices that help them thrive, not just survive, in leadership.
After two decades in church leadership and leading my own company, here are ten things that thriving leaders almost alway ..read more

I’ll start with a simple question: Are you trying to grow your church or reach people?
The distinction might be more important than you think.
I love growth-minded leaders and I always appreciate pastors who are trying to reach their community. That’s the fuel for why I do what I do around here.
As a result, I’ve written on church growth for years, and, as you know, church growth gets a lot of shade from some Christian leaders (no surprise, I know).
I realize that sometimes the criticism of church growth and criticism of megachurches can come from leaders whose churches aren’t gro ..read more
