“A church may have the right pieces to have a good discipleship strategy, but nobody’s ever really put the pieces together to create a strategy. The result is often a church filled with activity, but few disciples.” ~ Chuck Lawless go.churchanswers.com/3UDMPaI
“I do not presume upon God’s future for The Hope Initiative. But I am grateful to Him for what He has done thus far. People have been saved. Prayer has increased in churches. Churches are unified. And the power of God is evident.” ~ Thom Rainer
“The prevailing wisdom for pastors is longer tenure is better. I believe this principle is generally true. A string of shorter tenures is usually not healthy for churches. But it is possible to stay too long.” ~ Sam Rainer go.churchanswers.com/4a0SWtP

“Frankly, my current interest in prayer really grew after I had been a pastor for several years. My pastoring years would have been different had I spent more time on my knees.” ~ Chuck Lawless
“We are currently seeing so much fruit from The Hope Initiative that I don’t want to keep it quiet. I continue to be amazed at God’s work in these churches.” ~ Thom Rainer - go.churchanswers.com/3Jxgdc1

“What about how young people view religion, though? I’ve written about how those who self-identify as evangelical are not necessarily people who attend church regularly. Among self-identified evangelicals in 2008, 16% reported their religious attendance as seldom or never.
In 2022, that share had increased to 27%. So, is that same type of phenomenon happening among 18-29-year-old self-identified evangelicals? One way to assess that is a question about the importance of religion.” ~ Ryan Burge - go.churchanswers.com/3UdL8k5
”The path of ministry is rarely straightforward. Uncertainty is everywhere. While the mission of God will take you to unexpected places, you should set boundaries within your congregation.” ~ Sam Rainer - go.churchanswers.com/3VMmurV

Hey church leaders, if you’re looking for some solid, practical podcasts from experienced leaders on leading in the established church, I have really benefited lately from @estchurch and “Rainer on Leadership” from @ChurchAnswers. Go check them out!
Over at @ChurchAnswers we have a free webinar called “Know Your Community” coming up on March 16th! Register now: go.churchanswers.com/3L3PcyT
Great article by @ThomRainer & the @ChurchAnswers team! || churchanswers.com/blog/four-type…
Typical-sized churches are the future, not megachurches. Join @ThomRainer and me at 1:00 p.m. EST on Thursday for a FREE webinar. We'll release NEW research on what we're learning from typical-sized growing churches (and how you can be among them). churchanswers.com/webinars/what-…
Defy the naysayers! I believe we're on the cusp of an incredible comeback story. Typical-sized churches have a big opportunity to impact their communities. Though the movement is in the early stages, at @ChurchAnswers, we're seeing normal-sized churches starting to grow again.
I attempted to play the trumpet in middle school. It was a colossal failure. My mom recently found the instrument at her home and gave it back to me. My kids have found the blasted thing. I apologize to any and all neighbors. #DadLife
We have a winner! Congrats, Nate. Send your mailing address to our office via [email protected]. My favorite cover of this song is by the MonaLisa Twins.
No winners thus far. First clue in about 30 minutes.
Free copy of my latest book, I Am a Christian, to the first person who names my favorite Beatles’ song.
At @ChurchAnswers, we’ve researched membership classes for over two decades. Every one of our projects reveals the value of these classes. Here are some research highlights from our findings.
If you want to understand why churches die, you must check out the Autopsy of a Deceased Church - a must-have resource. ow.ly/VfNN50Mq9TE
According to Gallup's newest ethics survey, only a third of people in the US rate the ethical standards of the clergy profession as “very high” or “high.” Why? We did some research at Church Answers.
I'm putting a list together of conversation starters for Moms of Teen Girls for a conference next weekend. What is a question you would include?
Don’t wait until your church is in decline to check on the health of the church. Use the all new Autopsy of a Deceased Church resource to identify problems before they pop-up. ow.ly/VfNN50Mq9TE
