Quotes from Episode 550

Relationship is about influence and it's about honor. @AndyStanley Click To Tweet When it came to discipline and what needs to be disciplined, we decided the three things we’ll discipline for are dishonesty, disrespect and disobedience. @sandrawstanley Click To Tweet The win is our kids would want to be with each other and us, which meant the relationships have to be intact, which means we have to parent to the relationship, set rules that are relational and discipline toward relational restitution. @AndyStanley Click To Tweet Restoring a relationship always requires humility. @AndyStanley Click To Tweet

Increase Giving and Fully Fund Your Mission—Regardless of Where You're at Now.

When it comes to money conversations with your church, my guess is that you want the outcome (margin in your budget and a generous congregation) without the process (having to raise funds and talk about it).

The Art of Building a Generous Congregation is a proven method for increasing giving, creating a culture of generosity, and building financial margin at your church... without the stress and awkwardness.

Even if you don’t feel comfortable talking about money right now.
Even if you’ve never seen your congregation fully engage with that kind of conversation.
Even if you’ve tried other methods without success.

And yes, especially, if you could make a bigger difference by increasing your budget by 20%, 30%, or even 40%.
