Pastors

No one is leaving church because we're not putting on a good enough show. They're looking for something else entirely.

Instead of playing linguistic games, we need to produce better content. In a format that matches the way people listen, talk and live.

It's important to learn from other churches without becoming a cookie-cutter copy of them.

I don't need a Hollywood-level production, just a genuine, healthy expression of worship and fellowship.

Chasing relevance makes our churches look the same in ways we should be different – from each other and from the culture.

Jesus never bored people with the gospel. But entertainment was never the point. Truth was the point. And truth is never boring.

After thousands of sermons, you stop being impressed by the flash, and you start noticing the essentials.

When a term becomes so misunderstood that it loses its value, it needs rewording. We may be there with cultural relevance.

Sometimes ‘God deserves our best’ can serve as a cover for our pride. God also wants our second best. And our worst. And everything in between.

If you're copying another church, you’re not being the church God called you to be. And the kingdom of God is poorer for not having your voice in it.
