Most leaders say they want to grow, but few get in the kinds of environments that spur on leadership growth. That's why I'm starting a new coaching network in February of 2010. I limit my groups to 12 Senior Pastors, so if you're interested in growing in the following areas: 1. Your own personal development 2. Your follow up systems (new believers, stewardship, etc…) 3. Hiring and leading staff 4. Creating an evangelistic culture 5. Developing leaders within your church 6. Strategies for greater outreach If you want to grow in these areas, I'd invite you to apply for … Read More
What’s Unique about your Coaching Network?
I've gotten this question a few times from Pastors who are interested in joining my coaching network that starts in February.

Modern evangelism models say we must build the church outside-in and when it comes to growing the church, that's true. But when you're looking to develop yourself and other leaders, the place to start inside and work your … Read More

I walked away from that journal more confident than ever that God has called me to Miami and that He has great plans in store for Calvary Fellowship. As Pastors, it's easy to get discouraged because we're always dealing with problems, bad news, and challenges. … Read More
