How to Run Meetings with Style

Sat, 17 Aug 2019 11:40:00 GMT

As a "Get the job done" pastor, you can learn to conduct meetings that are positive experiences. They still may not be particularly fun and exciting; that’s just the nature of meetings. But they can be organized, productive, and beneficial to everyone involved. Here are few keys to making meetings better:

Decide whether the meeting is even necessary.
- Too many meetings don’t need to happen.
- If a matter can be handled via a conference call or a couple of emails, it is better to spare everyone the time and trouble of getting together.
Make sure to schedule meetings only when they are necessary
limit the discussion to items that affect everyone in attendance.
Set a clear agenda. Don’t start a meeting without knowing exactly what you need to discuss and decide.
Provide a written agenda to make the purpose of the meeting clear to those in attendance.
- This will help everyone stay on topic. When someone goes off on a tangent, having a clear agenda will allow you to steer the conversation back to the issues at hand.
Let people know in advance what they need to prepare
- Make clear beforehand any required reading or reports that are necessary for the meeting.
When people arrive at meetings prepared
- Avoid surprising people with requests after the meeting has started
Get input from everyone.
- Quiet people often get overlooked at meetings
- Be careful to ensure that the stronger personalities aren’t permitted to dominate
Provide clear next steps.
- By the end of the meeting, some action steps should be in place.
- Make sure that everyone knows what they need to do, and then hold them accountable
Meetings are a great way to get the best minds in your church together
- Discuss issues that will make a difference in your ministry.
- Make sure you don’t squander these opportunities by running bad meetings

When you take the necessary steps to make them pleasant and productive, meetings can go a long way toward advancing the vision and goals of your church.

Why Suffer in 2019?

Fri, 19 Jul 2019 21:27:00 GMT

Dear Friend,

Are you suffering from 2019-O-Phobia? Sure, it's a "disease" I just made up...

But I bet you know EXACTLY what I mean. It's the fear of what might happen this year. You know the drill by now. Crises... shortfalls...recession... ad infinitum.

So now we all have a choice. We can either fall away toward fear or we can fall toward FAITH!
The truth is, none of us know the future. But I do know that living our lives by the ups and downs of the market is a very stressful (dare I say, hopeless) way to live.
In times of great uncertainty, we have to break away from the 24-hour news cycles that compete for our attention and focus on the unchanging, the eternal and the solid truths of life. Here are four TRUTHS that you can hold onto regardless of the economic news:

1- GOD IS STILL IN CHARGE (Hebrews 12:28).
2- CALL ON GOD AND HE WILL GIVE YOU PEACE (1 Peter 5:7).
3- GOD WILL GIVE YOU ALL YOU NEED IF YOU PUT HIM
FIRST (Matthew 6:33).
4- GOD WILL USE YOUR GENEROSITY EVEN MORE IN A TIME
OF CRISIS (1 Peter 2:12).

I trust that these truths will be an encouragement to you!

Be encouraged,
