Boring. Invisible. Unremarkable. Words we'd rather people not use to describe about our church services.

But what are we really doing to make the weekend more compelling?

In her book An Hour on Sunday, Nance Beach said, “The hour can simply be sixty minutes for attenders to survive; a time for minds to wander aimlessly and hearts go untouched. Or maybe, the hour on Sunday can be a time of wonder, a time of transformation, perhaps seen as a time of awe.”

Are you ready to create weekend experiences remarkable enough that people both want to attend themselves and want to invite others to come along?

In this episode, Tony and Amy kick off a series exploring how to do just that.

Ever heard the phrase "the manager relies on control while the leader inspires trust"? 

Over the last several decades, resources and teaching on leadership thrived. But management? It’s often been minimized (at best) or even ridiculed or disparaged (at worst).

It's no wonder organizations often have a difficult time managing the day-to-day execution of their vision and strategy.

In this episode, Tony, Amy and Lance explore how leadership and management can be viewed as complementary essential functions, and how you can take steps to better manage your team towards increased health and performance.

Think of culture as gasoline and your ministry as an engine.

It’s not enough to have high-quality gasoline. Gasoline is purposeful; it is for powering the engine. A high-octane gas and a powerful engine will get traction quickly.  


Organizational DNA, or culture, is really about the way your team operates. It's how you do what you do.

And if you don’t shape culture intentionally, you might not like where you end up. Fact is, your staff team already has a culture, and it's the one you built, whether you meant to or not.

In Part 2 of this series, Tony, Amy, and Lance Witt explore how your church can more clearly define your DNA so that your staff team can thrive in both health and performance.
