I’ve been thinking about my part in helping my church continue to move towards robust health. Not me as National Leadership Team member or director of whatever, but me as a member of my local church. The same role that most of you find yourselves in. We all have a part to play in church […]
There is a component to church health that we don’t talk about enough. When we talk about church health we think systems, discipleship/ outreach, vision/ mission, revitalization strategies and so on. This is all good but something seems to be missing. Or maybe it’s just assumed, but if we assume it and don’t say it, […]
Recently I had the opportunity to be part of a baptism service. I love these types of services. They are probably my favorite. One of the best parts is hearing the stories of what God has done in people’s lives. The ones I heard that day were moving, inspiring and very real. It was great, […]
J’ai étudié toutes les ressources disponibles concernant la revitalisation de l’église. Il s’agit notamment de livres, d’articles, de sites Internet et même d’une conférence/formation organisée par nos amis de l’EML-USA. Il y a beaucoup de bonnes choses utiles sur la revitalisation de l’église, mais il y a des parties que je ne sais pas quoi […]
I have been looking into all the resources out there regarding church revitalization. These include books, articles, websites and even a conference/training event hosted by our friends in the FMUSA. There is a lot of good, helpful stuff out there about church revitalization, but there are parts of it that I haven’t known what to […]

I know we aren’t through Christmas yet, but I wanted to help us get a jump on our New Year’s resolutions, and this is my last post until 2019. Here are some things I think the church should resolve to do in the coming year. And when I say the church, I don’t mean the […]
Advent is almost upon us. And it seems like every year I end up writing the same type of article. So I have been racking my brain trying to figure out something different to write. Then I got inspired by a couple of my friends on Facebook and wound up back where I always do […]
Every now and then I will reference the 1992 sports movie The Mighty Ducks when talking about churches. Not because it is my favorite movie (or even a good movie) but because there is a lesson or two in there for those of us who are a part of a local church. Let me refresh our […]
I recently participated in a men’s retreat, and I left with a nagging question. Let me explain. I do not mean this to be a criticism of the retreat. While I am normally not a retreat kind of guy, I can’t deny that God did work in the lives of some of the men there. We were […]
