Thoughts from Vacation… Plus a little Sunday Stuff.
– I'm having a great time with my family. – Loved teaching the "Pillars of a Healthy Church" seminar. Got to meet some great Pastors doing amazing things in New England. – I ate at a place called Max Burger 3 times. I ate the same meal each time: A burger called the "Fatty Melt". It's a cheeseburger with 2 grilled cheese sandwiches instead of buns. The top grilled cheese sandwich has tomato and the bottom one has bacon. Amazing burger! – I taught at Calvary Fellowship in Hartford. Great church led by Bill LaMorey who is knocking it … Read More
New Tele-Seminar to Beat the Summer Slump
I'm very excited to announce that The Change Group's Casey Graham and I will be co-leading a tele-seminar on July 15th from 1PM-3pM EST called, "The Fully Resourced Church". We are going to talk about inspiring new giving and developing donors in your church. In fact, here's the full description on the seminar: A fully resourced church doesn't happen by accident. Instead, it happens when we are intentional about discipling people at every levels of giving. Too many churches are struggling financially because they haven't made stewardship part of their discipleship strategy. In this 2 hour tele-seminar, Bob Franquiz … Read More
If you Live Near Hartford, CT…
On Friday, June 25th from 9AM-Noon I'm leading a seminar entitled, "The Pillars of a Healthy Church". I'm totally excited about teaching this because there's so much talk about growing a church, but little talk about being a healthy church. And the only churches that keep growing the long haul are healthy churches. There's a lot more to knowing the health of your church than Sunday's attendance and offering. That's what we're going to spend our time talking about. What can you expect to learn in this 3 hour seminar?– Learn to evaluate your church’s health– How to create … Read More
The Loneliest Person in the World
Do you know who the loneliest person in the world is? If you're a Senior Pastor, it's you! Yes I know you have friends and I know you have a team that you love, but truth be told, being the leader is always the loneliest place to be. That's why we have to be in learning environments with other leaders who are going through EXACTLY the same things we are and learn from each other. That's one of the reasons I invest time into coaching Senior Pastors, because I know that we need to learn from each other, rejoice with … Read More

Here's what a few coaching alumni had to say: "Joining Bob’s coaching network last year was the best decision I have made as a church planting pastor. The practical insight I have gained as well as … Read More

In this tele-seminar I'm going to be talking about the nitty-gritty practical stuff that makes leaders effective.

Here's what I'm planning on covering in this packed one hour tele-seminar: – The realities of leading in tough financial times – … Read More
Preaching with the iPad
One of the questions I've been getting is "How do you like preaching with the iPad?" I've only taught off the iPad for a couple of weeks, but I love it! I actually think it's easier than preaching off paper notes. The reason being, there's no light directly over me when I'm preaching, so occasionally I'll get shadows on my notes which make them a challenge to read. With iPad, the lit screen gives me all the light I need to read all of my notes. The other question people have asked is, "What software are you using?" I am … Read More
