The Barrier of Great Service

First impressions and customer service has always been a big deal to me. I believe it’s a massive contribution to what separates good from great, especially in today’s world. I’ve always been a fan of getting rid of the counter that separates an employee from a customer, a guest from a ticket agent, a new…

It’s Not What I Want

Leveraging Halloween for Growth

It’s that time of year again when some church leaders try to figure out what to do about Halloween. Do we do a “Harvest Fest”? Do we let kids dress up? Do we not care about Halloween? Do we even say the word ‘Halloween’? Wherever you land on the spectrum—just own and run with it….

Why We Do Easter Eggs

One of the many things I really appreciated about my Christian parents growing up is that we had a lot of fun. I love that we were able to trick-or-treat during Halloween, open presents from Santa on Christmas, trade valentines on Valentines Day and search for Easter eggs and baskets on Easter morning.

Fun or Jesus

For years, I’ve always held a very simplistic view of children’s ministry. Outside of reaching the lost I believe it’s the most vital ministry in the church. Kids ministry represents our future. Without raising up the next generation there will be no Christianity. Thus, Deuteronomy 6 and David’s heart in Psalms: O God, you have…
