Do you have a preaching plan for the next 10 months? For this coming school/church year?
If you do, maybe you need to build it out, add to it, insert some additional elements for creativity and to increase the effectiveness of your plan. If you don't, you definitely should have a plan. That's the topic for today - preaching plans. They are one of the best things I've ever utilized in my ministry admin and planning. Enjoy!

Dan is a Chaplain in and Adult Care Facility in my community and a former pastor of 25 years. Dan talks with me about how we as pastors can best care for the people in our church family who are living in an Independent or Assisted Living Care Facility. He has some great insight in that area of ministry.
He also talks about his transition out of local church ministry, and what that looked like for him. Some real food for thought for us pastors who are currently serving in a local church.

I sat down with Ted Lowe, Executive Director of MarriedPeople.org and MarriedPeopleChurches.org and he said something that has stuck with me for the last five years.
In today's episode I play two clips of our conversation and then drive my point home with you, which I know will not be lost on you! Marriage Ministry in our churches is so important and necessary - and me included - we ALL have to think more deeply about how we are ministering to married people in our churches and in our communities. You're gonna like this episode... I guarantee it! 
Pastor, today I ask the question - "How long does it take us to make things right in our life?!" When something goes wrong, how long before we attend to it, to fix it and right the ship of our life?
General Motors took 12 years to decide to make things right with me... how long will it take us to decide to finally make progress on one of those retractable issues that plague our life? Jeff and Dave Bush are going to talk about the Six Commitments we need to make to finally move forward in our life, focusing on our highest priorities and overcoming our greatest obstacles - all in the Live An Extraordinary Life Webinar for Pastors! It's on August 16, 2022 at Noon Central Time - real easy to register for it right here. 
Jeff talks today about his thoughts on his upcoming message from John 15 - where Jesus teaches about Himself as the Vine, and us as the branches.
On August 10, 2020 - two years ago today - I bad storm hit his town and huge swath of the Midwest, leaving destruction in its wake. Jeff talks about that day, and how his memories connect to the meaning of John 15. If pastors do not remain in the Vine... who will? 
It's funny how we pastors will preach life change all day to our people - YET... most Monday mornings we'll look in the mirror and think "I'm never going to change!" We believe so hard for other people, but in some areas of our own lives we're practical atheists - "God isn't going to help me change!"
Pastor, today I talk to you about believing you can leave the ordinary in the rear-view mirror, and what it really takes to realize that. There is an environment where real change happens so much more easily, and an environment where it rarely does. Do you believe, my friend? If not why not? Today I challenge you TO believe, with an invitation to join me in the process. Enjoy!

Jeff continues his discussion on pastors and politics that he began yesterday, Friday August 5 on Episode 122.
While we are NOT in the heat of a presidential campaign season this is a good time to calmly think about such things! Saturday is a good day to clean the garage and listen to Coaching For Pastors... (or substitute any other "around the house" tasks!) 
Pastor, do politics, campaign-speak, and partisan talking points find their way into your weekend messages, social media posts, church emails, and personal conversations? Are you fixated on the news of the day, political issues, cable news networks, talk radio, and what's trending on Twitter?
I'm sorry if those questions get an affirmative reply from you. I'm sorry for you and for your church. And if you know at all, you know I'm not combative and never want to pick a fight... but I'm talking with pastors here, and I are one! So this episode is my opinion for pastors - and I hope you'll give me a fair hearing. For the record, if you don't agree with me, I'll still love and respect you! That's the way us pastors roll... Enjoy! 
How many times have you entered into a message, a conversation, a confrontation, a Bible Study, a board or staff meeting - just certain of what you want to say, or what you want to accomplish - only to have fear suck the active ingredient right out of the entire situation?
You leave out the last 10%, you don't say everything you need to say, you forget to make the point, the actual application of the Bible truths you studied together - you let fear negotiate away your conviction, your leadership, or your opportunity. Jeff talks today about his experiences with fear, and then offers a different idea, another perspective on how things might work... |
