3 Reasons Most Christians Don’t Evangelize—And How to Change That
And when you ask most Christians if they believe the Gospel is true, they will certainly answer. Ask when they last shared it with anyone outside their faith and the room hushes. There is a huge and unsettling divide between the truths of what believers confess and the ways in which they use this confession […]
Your Church Has a Missions Budget—But No Mission Field
Churches who care about the Great Commission usually have a line in the budget for it. It goes to missionaries abroad. They support organizations which work in unreached people groups. They get the annual update letter, pray over it at a Sunday service, and then move on. The giving is real. The heart behind it […]
Have We Forgotten That the Gospel Still Works?
In the modern church, there’s a quiet crisis of confidence. It does not scream out loudly. It appears in the hesitation leading up to a conversation becoming spiritual. It lives upon the assumption that the person across from the table has already made up their mind. It sounds like the phrases, “People aren’t open to […]
The #1 Leadership Skill That Predicts Long-Term Influence
Each leadership conference includes a variation on the same breakout session. It is called productivity systems, high-performance habits, execution frameworks, and all that — but the message here is essentially the same: do more, move faster, lead harder. And leaders step out energized, notebooks full, ready to optimize. So five years later, some of those […]
Leadership Development Isn’t a Perk—It’s a Mandate
Go into the regular church or the nonprofit boardroom and ask; who is responsible for developing the next generation of leaders? It will frequently lead to a break — in which the pastor or executive director is offered a vague nod. That pause is costing organizations everything. Leadership development has been for too long treated […]
The Church Was Never Meant to Be a Holy Huddle
Across the world, churches gather faithfully every week. Worship services are held. Sermons are preached. Ministries operate. Calendars are full. Yet in many places, something subtle has happened. The church has become increasingly inward. Safe. Contained. Predictable. Instead of being a movement sent into the world, many congregations have unintentionally formed what could be called […]
Is Your Church Preparing for Revival or Just More Programming?
Church calendars are full. Sermon series are planned months in advance. Creative teams are building graphics. Social feeds are scheduled. Volunteers are rotating through systems that run smoothly and efficiently. The machinery of ministry is active. But here’s the deeper question: Is your church preparing for revival — or just preparing the next program? There […]
Your Church Could Be Global by Next Week
When many churches think “global impact,” they hear plane tickets, mission budgets and long-term international plans. It feels big. It feels far away. But what if you could start a global transformation next week — right in your church? Most churches are serving the community willingly with Sunday service, outreach work, and internal ministries. These […]
What Happens When a Church Partners with EQUIP?
Most churches want to grow. Not merely in attendance — but in depth, in impact, in the kind of influence that outlasts any single season or senior leader. They want their people equipped, their mission activated, and their community transformed. The desire is almost universal. What is much less common is knowing how to get […]
If Jesus Started a Leadership Movement—It Would Look Like This
The Disconnect Between Leadership Development and Discipleship Somewhere along the way, leadership development and discipleship became separated. Churches disciple. Organizations develop leaders. Conferences inspire. Seminaries educate. Corporations train. But Jesus never separated spiritual formation from leadership formation. When Jesus called His first followers, He did not invite them to attend a lecture series. He invited […]
