Collin Outerbridge: Building a Multicultural, Multigenerational Church

There's something about a unifying vision that is greater than our preferences, that is focused on serving our community, that I think has led to a strong sense of connectivity that's allowed our church to grow and to impact people right here where we live.

Dave Ferguson: Multiplying Leaders

Every leader needs to have an apprentice. Even the lead pastor, as you're thinking about what's next, you need to have an apprentice so you can put that person in that role and you can commission them to go.

Nicole Martin: A Different Kind of Leadership

When I go to a great restaurant and it’s really good, no one ever has to tell me, “Could you let other people know?” I cannot wait to tell other people, first of all, that I've been, and second of all, how good the food is. I think we have lived our Christian lives on the periphery of God's grace and goodness and favor for so long that we don't know how good the food is for ourselves.

Sergio De La Mora: Turning a Generation

“I didn’t go into the ministry to be a megachurch pastor. I went into the ministry to do something mega for God.”

Experience Speaks: Shawn Johnson
