When church leaders keep first things first healthy churches are the result.
Glenn and Holly Packiam provide practical steps to help busy church leaders prioritize relationships in this article.
Mike Osborne shares sixteen practices that will restore your energy if done consistently. Even if you can start with a few of them, you will be taking better care of yourself. And if you want to be any good for those you lead, you need to be good to yourself.
One of the top qualities of a leader is the ability to make solid decisions. A few practical tips can help you with growing a church.
Science proves it: decision fatigue is a real thing. By the end of your workday, your emotional and intellectual horsepower is depleted. When leaders invest precious energy in low-impact decisions, everyone pays a price. Hoarding decisions undervalues employees. It also keeps you from making bigger decisions that really matter.
You can’t escape decision-making, but you can separate the high-leverage decisions from the rest.
There are certain kinds of decisions that only you can make. That’s true for everyone in your organization. When you activate people to lead within their sphere of influence, you get the best result across your entire business. To maximize the return on daily decision-making, follow these four simple strategies.
There’s a point at which applying the strategies, tactics, and tips associated with productivity can make a good thing go bad. Sometimes with devastating consequences.
It’s ironic, but hyper-productive people (those whose productivity has gone toxic) experience the same overwhelming feelings that disorganized people do.
Toxic productivity can also lead to burnout, which is something no leader wants.
Toxic productivity is a trap. You think you’re going to solve a problem, but you make things worse. By over-applying productivity strategies, you end up making yourself more stressed, not less.
So, how do you know whether your fascination with productivity is turning toxic?
Discover the 9 warning signs to watch if you’re starting to suffer from toxic productivity in this new article from Carey Nieuwhof
What does spiritual progress look like? And how can we help people recognize movement in their own journey?
If we’re going to build a framework that helps move people toward maturity and Christ-likeness, we’ve got to think clearly about identifying steps where progress can be measured. Many churches these days are referring to this idea as a “Discipleship Pathway,” a simple map that helps people know what their next step or season will look like.
To help people on their journey, there are five essential questions that must be answered to build a simple, effective discipleship program.
For decades, many church strategies have been built around getting people in the community to come to your church. Big events. Great signage. Social media marketing. The attractional church. You get the picture.
To be clear, there is nothing wrong with any of the “y’all come” approaches. Frankly, those are better than what most churches do to reach people: nothing.
But going to church has taken on a new meaning in today’s culture.
Thom S. Rainer provides a clear strategy on how to 'GO' into your community and reach for Christ.
Today’s churches depend on technology for Christian evangelism, outreach to the community, and discipleship ministry. Appreciating the tech team’s ministry can enhance Bible study, worship, and prayer meetings.
outlines three easy and practical ways to support your church's tech team.
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him - James 1:12

If your staff is overwhelmed, frustrated, or prone to gossip, it’s time to evaluate your organization’s culture. Learn how to make lasting changes that lead to church growth!
Ever wonder if your organization’s culture is toxic?
Apparently, not enough leaders do.
According to a Gallup survey, only 15% of employees globally are engaged at work.
In America, 30% of employees are engaged, which at first sounds great.
Except, that means that 70% of your workforce feels like their job is grinding the life of out of them. 70% of the people you’ve hired, or who are part of your organization, aren’t showing up with their best, productivity is low, and your mission is suffering.
Underneath that is almost always some kind of unhealthy or toxic culture that demotivates your team.
As a result, every day, good people leave. People don’t quit jobs, they quit bosses and cultures.
One of the most important roles you have as a leader is to create a healthy culture that attracts and keeps healthy team members.
One of the challenges in leadership is that the boss is often the last to know that their work culture is toxic.
Leaders consistently overestimate how healthy they are and how healthy their team is.
So, how would you know your organization’s culture is toxic?
Carey Nieuwhof provides insight into this critical issue.
Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end. Give me understanding so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart. Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
preserve my life according to your word. Fulfill your promise to your servant so that you may be feared. Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good. How I long for your precepts! In your righteousness, preserve my life.
Psalm 119:33-40
