Why do you think this is so funny

Seeing this 2 years after the initial recording; THANK YOU!!! Your insights from observation and experience are invaluable, I am taking all of it to heart as I prepare to launch a new ministry.

Wonderful Session on podcast 241...this is so rich and vital to my understanding of strategic envisioning which must have the vital piece, "leadership pipeline." I do want to join your Operation Gideon program to help fund your projects. Blessings. A Regent Student. Mary Frances Begley.

CORE values are passionate beliefs that guide your decision making.

Neurotic church leaders are taking the name of the Lord they God in vain.

There are many neurotic pastors.

A leader cannot give what he or she doesn’t have.

Going through this right now. Pray 🙏 it is taken care of without casualties 😢💔

The "baggage" thought is quite interesting... in the idea of too quickly empowering folks. Once again tho, St Augustine tells us that every person that comes our way is sent by God for a reason.

Cold start churches do need a lead "The Guy." However, humility needs to be his key. Giving away power as God adds others with gifting is a must.

I was in an extremely abusive church for 10+ years. The main pastor and preacher was a female who was so cruel and abusive. She would demand loyalty and would isolate us. We would get in trouble for not asking her for permission to do things in our personal lives. She would make fun of people behind closed doors, yelled at us, and punished us for the smallest things. We had to follow her rules and do things her way. She was so different in church vs how she was in real life. She didn’t believe in being accountable to anyone so the abuse went unchecked. We left recently after she was caught stealing word for word preachings from other pastors who are well known. Me and my family were in the core leadership and experienced so much hurt. I haven’t been able to go to church much. I miss it.

It seems strange sometimes if a Pastor is not Pastoral and a Shepherd ?

wonderful podcast...I took copious notes.

I literally want to cry right now because this is so prevalent and I have been a victim of this for many years. I left 2 churches only to find myself yet in the same situation at the church I presently attend. I want to obey Jesus and I understand what Heb 10:25 says- but where do I go?

I think that with prayer christians should volunteer to do work in the body of Christ as well in the church that they attend. Saying that! I don’t think Christians should be guilted, strong armed, or guilted into volunteering especially for being an usher for example. I worked the CD/tape ministry for a church that wasn’t my home church for 18 years. I was a little reluctant at first but once the Holy Spirit showed me how to do the task I enjoyed it. My home church tape ministry was already occupied but they tried to manipulate me into ushering to which I had told them no

Churches are going to have to do a lot better than the traditional "songs and sermon' approach to gathering together. It crowds out mutual ministry and it is stifling, unimaginative, and boring. It doesn't encourage real community at all.

Government perverts are infiltrating the church.

.many Pastor nowadays doesn't follow The step of Jesus Christ

Thx

This was solid. Thank you.

Hey guys I am a new listener. Love the podcast! Could you comment on what process you use to gather both quantitative and qualitative data for decision making and change management initiatives?

Hi brothers thanks for this episode. You are not wrong in saying that in today's era, the pastors are no raising the next leaders. I would say that is a big contribution to the slow growth in churches today as well as the financial reasons such as an income stability for the pastor and his needs that also is important to note. I really do believe that God provides still today as He did in times past and will provide for the church He suffered and died and rose again for. The lack of love in God to serve the next generation faithfully and the faith to believe God will sustain us is lacking. Its hard to find leaders who are selfless in our churches sometimes becuase they do not know hw to commit serving the next generation- they are either ignorant of the times and seasons we are leading in disregarding the next leaders God has raised or they are just self centered. They have valid reasons but Gods Kingdom never lacks provision if we position our faith in God well and see how He is seeing and follow His leads. Our leaders and pastors today need Gods truth in their lives to first lead in their homes, then pour into the next leaders. Without the truth burning in our hearts how are we to know how to build His church? If one generation fails as Judges 1-2 shows of no leader under Joshua there will come a generation who will not know God and will do all that is right in their own eyes.

How do I find a friendly church? Do you have a podcast about that?

Why are you teaching demons at seminary?

Do not denominations have training schemes & strategies - or is everything highly individualistic?

Why are not local churches raising up folks to send and pay for seminary?

The point in regards of letting new people serve I can wholeheartedly agree with. That’s the testimony of my sister. She accepted Christ as Lord and Savior volunteering as a teen in Children’s Church even when we were not officially members of the church.

You CANNOT have NPD and self reflect even in the slightest. Saying you could possibly have those tendencies if left unchecked disqualifies you from having NPD. Genuine outward empathy and genuine inward reflection have no place in Narcissistic personality disorder.

Oh my we left our church because of moving out of state. The pastor of the church we left was not nice behind the scenes. Very nasty wanting to control all minstries in the church sweatshop.

Great episode. Resonates with me! Thank you, Scott & A.J.

What are some common key lead metrics churches track?

The American church! If one waited for someone to approve them in an assessment and the perfect amount of folks then you would never plant a church! Who says you have to have it all together! Why can’t you come and just worship the Lord and teach his word in a church setting? Critical mass? One size does not fit every situation!

The Malphurs Group , you have been a great help for me and my ministry here in Nairobi Kenya. God bless you so much

This job is the highest privilege in the world but it is also the worst job in the world 💔

The perfect church on Earth does not exist and you cannot make the perfect church. If you can prove me wrong and find this church DO NOT JOIN IT!!! If you do you will spoil it.

Here is "The truth" from a former Catholic/Christian long time Atheist. More and more people are discovering they can and are living moral and spiritual lives without Religion and the god belief(s). Transform old and abandoned churches into permit approved Secular community and humanitarian aid centers. - emergency housing for the homeless - food and medical hubs - clothing, blankets etc donation drops etc... Things Jesus Christ would approve.

Religion is dying in the United States. The quicker the better. When all moderates eventually leave Religion and churches, what little remains in it will be fanatics, bigots and conmen.

What a fantastic conversation! Some REALLY helpful questions here and some beautiful insights... Plus... Football analogies! Gotta love it!

Disagree, i beleive it's the error of Hierarchy. Hierarchy & the body of Christ can't co exist.

Its cause its error so is has to fall

In Mark 16:17-18, Jesus said: "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover". This is like a litmus test for Christians and most of us are failing this test. Perhaps the problem with Christianity today is that the followers of Christ, even some pastors, are operating below par. It's no shock then that people are quitting from the pulpits and pews.

"(Liberal Christians) don't have...the very foundation of where your faith might be placed anyway. If [they] don't have respect for the truth of Scripture and the character of God, the nature of God, what is [their] religion based on at that point?" I ask you, Where does the character or nature of God even come into it? We only know such things through the Scriptures and the expositors of the Scriptures. The veracity of the ancient biblical writers and you modern preachers is what is being questioned by a literate membership. How can we believe people who don't understand the rudiments of scientific reality? How can we trust the character of people who admire human miscreants like Donald Trump? Can a divine being such as the purported Holy Spirit really be inspiring this stupidity and immorality? Most young people--even those homeschooled in the faith--will leave it because the appeal to biblical authority by Christian spokesmen can no longer compete with the appeal to actual facts by scientific professionals. Professionals like the social scientists that are publishing the many recent surveys which document the decline of Christian affiliation and church attendance.

The real reason tuition is so high for both Christian and secular universities is because they have created huge numbers of high salaried administrative positions given to political hacks and cronies who contribute nothing toward the education programs. In the old days, there might be one administrator for every hundred professors. Today, the ratio is one on one. This so-called business model - - with its glut of administrators who serve no purpose - - is ubiquitous in universities across the nation. This is what exhorbitant tuition is actually paying for. Meanwhile, professors everywhere are being pressured to water down the subject matter for students who would have flunked out if they had matriculated ten years ago.

This is prection the importance of christ.Jesus is our only way through christ who is all we have have in this worid.There will come a time when all will fall to their knees and proclaim jesus is lord of all.

Evangelism is not the problem. Few people alive have not heard the good news. Lack of community is the biggest reason people don't like to go to church. Why bother when church is only : hear about your sins; give us some money; then go home. Who spoke to you? Who smiled? Who gave you a reason to come back. 100 families rolled through for trunk or treat, 5 show up church over the next 3 Sundays. That was the entire goal, now what are you doing to keep them? If the only answer is to teach them about the gospel, it will not take long to lose those new families. Also it would stand to reason that more conservative churches are shrinking at a slower rate only due to being smaller. Example: 100 person church loses 5 families of 4, they drop 20 percent. An older conservative church that gave up on out reach years ago has stabilized at 20 members. Then 1 member dies. That's only a 5 percent decline. The only way that church is ever growing again is through the great "sheep shuffle".

thanks for the topics discussed really helping me gain insight on other factors as well concerning the church and remaining relevent to the call of the Gospel and not just culture of today. God bless.

"The pressure will follow you." With respect to your point, no, it won't. I work a 50 hour a week job as a public school teacher. Ministering as a bi-vocational pastor is literally the only thing in my world that stresses me out.

I love coffee and snacks, in fact I’m in the hospitality ministry. But I agree about that the more I read the Bible, the more awe and reverence I have in being in the Presence of the Lord.
