Quotes from Episode 601

Bosses push, leaders pull. - @DaveRamsey Click To Tweet We want to minister at such a scale that it leaves a dent in the craziness that's out there in the world. - @DaveRamsey Click To Tweet The worst stewardship you can do is building something that God owns, and then you don't manage it well enough for it to survive you. - @DaveRamsey Click To Tweet I think leadership may be a little like money in that the biggest mistake people make is that they're not intentional. - @DaveRamsey Click To Tweet

My Free Guide: 4 Steps to Engage Your Church Around Giving and Generosity

I understand the hesitancy and worry you have when it comes to talking about money at church—it’s a bit awkward to bring up. And when you do, it’s easy to feel repetitive, like you’re wearing out donors, or that you’ll instantly scare unchurched people away. 

To help you have better conversations about money and generosity, and to increase giving at your church, I’ve created a free guide: 4 steps to engage your church around giving and generosity.

In it, you’ll get 4 practical steps and shifts you can use as early as this week to have conversations about giving that don’t feel repetitive, stale, or scare away unchurched people. 

Visit engagegenerosity.com to get free and instant access to my free guide.

Compassion

You’ve heard me talk about the impact that Compassion Experiences have on churches.  One of those experiences is having a Compassion Alumni Speaker share his/her story with your congregation.    

For generations, testimonies of God’s faithfulness have made a powerful impact on His people. Compassion’s Alumni Speakers carry on that sacred tradition by sharing their personal testimonies with you. Born into poverty, these speakers joined Compassion’s program as kids, came to know Christ, and grew up to become doctors, pastors, teachers, and more. They speak passionately about the eternal impact of the local church and a caring sponsor.  Depending on the need, Alumni Speakers may speak in person or through custom videos recorded for your church. 

Booking an Alumni Speaker is COMPLETELY free, and this experience will open your congregation’s eyes to the impact each person can make on a child’s life.

Lead With Confidence and Clarity. Grow Your Church.

As leaders, we tend to see the challenges and roadblocks before other people do.

We've all been there before...

  • You need to refresh your vision for the future but know that change will be an issue for that person.
  • You're overstaffed (or missing a key role) and can't find the right person to fill the role.
  • You aren't reaching enough new people even though you've tried everything that's working for other churches.
  • You can see the issue but aren't confident in what to do about it.

And with another Sunday morning coming up, it'll just have to wait until next week when you have a few minutes to figure it out.

Now ask yourself this:

What would it feel like to have those answers at your fingertips 24/7?

Whether it's reaching new people, improving your preaching, increasing volunteers, refreshing your vision, engaging your staff, or any of the countless challenges we face as church leaders, The Art of Leadership Academy will equip you to lead your church with confidence and clarity.

Between comprehensive church leadership courses, live coaching calls, staff and volunteer training resources, and direct access to a private online community of senior-level church leaders, you'll get the exact insights and answers that fuel your church for growth.
