Quotes from Episode 604

Shame is the most powerful weapon that anyone has on anyone else. Once stuff is public, there's no shame anymore. - @johnbcrist Click To Tweet If they hadn't published the story, I think I would have gotten it out there. - @johnbcrist Click To Tweet It's more about who you said you were and who you were. It's the hypocrisy, not the behavior. - @johnbcrist Click To Tweet

The Art of Leadership Academy

Every month in The Art of Leadership Academy, I hop on a Live Coaching Call, where I coach leaders through today’s most relevant and pressing opportunities in ministry.

This month, we’re focussing on how your church can have its biggest Christmas ever—from outreach to follow-up, we’ll work through a strategy that brings new guests to your services and keeps them coming back in the new year. And, to end every call, we leave plenty of time aside for Q&A so your specific questions get answered.

To join the Live Coaching, you can sign up at theartofleadershipacademy.com. In addition to the Coaching, you’ll get access to all of my training programs on topics like Preaching, Outreach, Growth, Team Leadership, and more. I’d love to see you there!

TENX10

TENx10 has officially launched to reach over 10 million young people over the next 10 years. 

More than 1 million young people drift from the church and the abundant life Jesus has to offer them every year. This sobering reality is the very reason TENx10 was born. 

In the spirit of John 10:10, this collective of diverse denominations, organizations, and leaders is working to reconnect young people to a church community that desires to see them grow in their faith.

Visit TENx10.org to access the free resources to help reorient youth ministries around relational discipleship radically focused on Jesus. And follow their journey @tenx10collab on all social platforms as they champion the faith of the next generation.

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.
