So my wife picked up my copy of Church in the Making the other day. It was the first church planting book she’d ever read. It never occurred to me that she’d be interested in reading a book like this. Further I didn’t realize the value of having my wife read a book like this. [...] Related posts:

You can find the original post on that link, but here’s the highlights of it: MAKING VISION STICK by Andy Stanley In the book, Andy shares that there are 5 things that help make [...] Related posts:

5 Reasons Why I Failed

Posted on 04. Jun, 2010 by Steve Swisher.

I remember reading a statistic a while back somewhere that found that most successful church planters had been a part of at least one failed attempt at church planting.  I always wondered why that was until now. In 2005 I entered the world of church planting when I took over the reigns of a church [...] Related posts:

Whiteboard Sessions – The Rest

As the day went on I took fewer notes.  I think it was because my brain was getting full and my body was getting tired. That doesn’t mean that these next three guys weren’t worth hearing. Actually, my favorite speaker of the day was James McDonald. I had followed his ministry for about ten years [...] Related posts:

Whiteboard Sessions – Perry Noble

Perry’s been one of my favorite pastors for a while now. I almost went to a church in Anderson, SC before I knew anything about him or New Spring Church.  He speaks with a mixture of humor and authority. Here’s God needs to know he can trust you with pain. Before they (Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego) [...] Related posts:

Jon Tyson is lead pastor of Trinity Grace Church in New York City. I had never heard of John Tyson before the conference, but I thought he was one of the best speakers of the day. His talk reminded me of listening to Jim Cymbala. You just sat there mesmerized by the power with which [...] Related posts:

At every conference there are things that the speakers say that stand out. They’re usually what you end up writing down in your notes. While reading just the bullet points don’t convey their full meaning or the experience created by the speaker, they might be of help to you.  So I’ll be sharing my abridged [...] Related posts:

Last Friday I was able to attend Whiteboard with my whole team.  I’ve never been able to go to a conference with everyone I worked with at a church. Here’s the benefits: By including even the volunteer staff members and the part-time staff members, you’re communicating to them their true value to you and the church. [...] Related posts:

Exponential Conference Audio

I just came across this audio gold mine. Going to a conference is always better than just listening to the audio on your iPod, but it’s the next best thing. When you’re at a conference you’re able to get away from the normal, everyday routine and able to dream. That’s a little harder to do [...] Related posts:
