When senior leaders are clear on their roles and their giftings complement each other, the church is well positioned for health and growth. On the other hand, when those same leaders don’t own the responsibilities they can't delegate, the vision and team begin to suffer. 

This week, we’re kicking off a brand new series on “Sharpening Your Executive Leadership Skills” with a conversation on two key roles an executive pastor can't delegate.

If you knew that 90% of your congregation was struggling with an issue, how would you address it?

Over the last four weeks, we've been talking about the common mistakes churches make when it comes to their weekend experience—including offering sermons/teaching that provide no real life application.

In this bonus episode, Tony sits down with Pastor Rick Atchley (The Hills Church in Fort Worth, Texas) whose church did the opposite: they embraced felt-needs teaching by identifying the needs in their congregation and developing a nine-part sermon series on mental health.

You can watch Pastor Rick's series, Let's Talk About Mental Health, here.
