LifeWay Pastors

I'm excited to share with you the new @Lifeway logo and branding. It's a fresh look for a new season of serving the kingdom. In the coming weeks, we'll continue to add new design enhancements and improvements to make your time on lfwy.co/fYSE50DernS better.

Pastors, surround yourself with great people. Ministry is a team sport!

As the Lord brings people who are angry toward the gospel into your sphere, look for every opportunity to hear their story and to find out the events that shaped their lives and views. lfwy.co/7AXn50Cm8aA

Evangelistic drift is real, and it’s dangerous. And it can happen to any of us—whether you stand at a podium or sit in a pew on Sundays. lfwy.co/4C1L50C9s3w

A person usually has to trust a Christian before they are open to trusting Christ.

💯 agree.

Being welcoming is important to church guests and potential visitors, but being friendly isn’t enough. People are looking for beyond-the-surface connections. lfwy.co/KlwT50BZ3UW

Step one in relational evangelism: learn the names of your neighbors and their children. Draw a map of your street and see how many you know.

The added stress of COVID-19 has likely fueled your feelings of burnout. If this is you, seek out an older leader who has been there—one who would count it joy to pour into you. lfwy.co/Wu7R50BzbSn

Pastor, how often are you pursuing friendships with people outside your normal routine? Get outside the bubble of your Christian friends and have lunch with someone who doesn’t go to church.

There are only two things that go beyond the grave: the words of God and the souls of people. Before you can share the words of God, you’ve got to love the souls of people.

Jesus declares His mission—He came to earth to fill up heaven with sinners saved by grace. Is the focus of Jesus’ life also the focus of your life?

Prayer is always an important part of leadership, and seasons of difficulty like this make that abundantly clear. Seek the Lord as you seek to lead his people.

I heard someone say recently, "God's Word is a lamp for our feet, not a floodlight for our interstate." As I speak with young people searching for God's plan for their lives, I find that's comforting news to them.
