Richard Blackaby has worked with his dad for decades to bring the message of Experiencing God to the world. In this interview, Richard talks about arriving at a small church of ten people and seeing God turn it around, the story behind how Experiencing God went on to sell millions of copies, how to find God’s will, and how pastors can disciple business leaders.

ServeHQ
Every church leader knows that having trained and engaged volunteers is absolutely mission critical. But if you’re also like most leaders, you know how tricky it can be to onboard people. And we’re kind of in the midst of a volunteer crisis right now, so that’s why you need to check out Serve HQ.
They have a simple video training course system that helps you equip volunteers and develop leaders. You can create your own training or use their extensive video library. Plus, ServeHQ is an online learning platform that tracks the progress for each person.
So they’ve got a large library of pre-built courses, and they’ve got follow-up quizzes to ensure that you have incredibly well-trained and equipped volunteers. And their tools are super simple and comprehensive, so you can provide basic email and text messaging for team communication. And basically, it’s a one-stop hub for how you communicate with your volunteers.
Head over to servehq.church to learn more and help solve the volunteer crisis that so many churches are going through.
