The Most Neglected Area of Discipleship in the American Church
These days, I’m hardly ever in a room with church leaders where the topic of discipleship doesn’t come up. The last three years with Covid, the racial justice conversation, and the political climate have made for very interesting atmospheres in churches and boardrooms.

Leadership Pipeline
In ministry, leader development isn't just a bullet point on our job description, it's the most important aspect of our calling. When we refuse to empower others, we create a ceiling that is equal to our individual capacity. Essentially, our unwillingness or inability to develop others stifles momentum. But where do we find leaders? What steps do we take once we've identified them? And how can we create a pipeline to effectively resource our ministry with strong leadership? This resource will answer those questions and provide practical steps you can implement today. Leader development isn't simple but it can be accomplished with intentionality and investment.

Every church capital campaign carries a cost. Some costs are easily identified, tracked, negotiated and completed but not all project and church campaign costs are so obvious, though. These price tags make huge withdrawals not tracked at all in church financial systems. These intangible costs arrive in subtle, sneaky, camouflaged and unexpected ways that ambush church leadership. One ensnared with these frequently overlooked costs, the price leadership pays can be deadly, pulling life and energy away from a season that should be abundant in life-giving celebration of the mission.
