I spend a lot of time talking to people who want to write books. They give all kinds of excuses as to why they can’t write their book now. “I don’t have the time right now.” “I’m unsure about what to write about.” “Where do I begin in writing?” But here’s what it all comes down to: permission Most people are waiting for someone to give them permission to write. They’re waiting for some publisher, some editor, some governing body to say, “It’s time for you to write.” Here are the 2 things you need to write: 1. A message … Read More
You Already have the Content to Write your Book
Too many pastors think they are starting from scratch when it comes to writing a book. I have found just the opposite to be true.

I’m sorry to make you read them, but here they are… I’m.not.getting.fed. It hurts me just to write them. They’re annoying. Frustrating. But sometimes… they’re true. Sometimes people really aren’t growing. I’ve learned that there are times when churches don’t offer people a clear path to grow and christians feel stuck in their faith. The truth is, this is more common than we might realize. One of the biggest reasons that people walk out the back … Read More
My Big Stupid Leadership Mistake
index Dear Pastor, When I was but a wee lad (26) and totally green when it came to leadership and church planting, I made the dumbest mistake I’ve ever make in 13 years. What was it?

The Pastor Who Missed Christmas
index Dear Pastor, I was at Target with my family last Friday and Christmas was in full effect. Ornaments. Fake trees. Lights. Even the ugly Christmas sweaters were on sale. Why are retailers starting their Christmas promotion the first week of November? Because they know if you want Christmas to be big, you’ve got to star early.

Pastors Make the Best Authors
I have this theory… Pastors make the best authors. I know there are many great authors who don’t fill a pulpit each week, but so many of my favorite authors are primarily pastors and bible teachers. There are several reasons for this, but I want to highlight 3 reasons pastors make great authors: #1 – Pastors are working with an Abundance of Material – Think about it, when a pastor decides to write a book on parenting or marriage or some other topic, it’s usually filled with wisdom. Simply because he has been communicating on this topic for years. If you’re … Read More
