TBT! Just about everyone thinks they are a good driver, a good kisser, and a good preacher. However, we all have room to hone our craft. Read these tips to see where you can step up your game!

We can be the answer to Jesus’ prayer. We have the opportunity to be the generation that comes together and leads His movement of redemption and love a lost and lonely world. If we are one, the world will know that God is one and they will be one!

Excel Leadership Network is stoked to announce the signing of Tim Combs and Kyah Combs to plant a church in Whittier, California along with our partner, Transformation Ministries! #DeepRoots!

Meet David Cook, one of our incredible coaches! In addition to being the lead pastor of Cold Spring Church, David is also a highly trained and qualified coach. As a coach, David focuses on accountability and goals. A great coach brings both a skill set and a mindset that will give the person being coached a new awareness and clear actions, while providing accountability to accomplish their goals. If I haven’t done this in every coaching conversation, I have not done my job. Connect with David - visit our website for more information!

Most of us would declare we are part of a church. But as pastors and ministry leaders, are we actually doing life together with the church? God has called us to not only lead our church but to be part of our it! As church leaders, we need to live in togetherness and lead in togetherness.

Meet Aaron Clayton, one of our Excel coaches! Aaron Clayton and his wife Charity planted Remedy Church in Waxahachie, Texas in 2012. Aaron's coaching approach is simple: make disciples, prioritize the Kingdom, and worry less about the organization of your church. He says, Jesus will build his church through you if you do these things humbly. Visit our website to find YOUR coach! https://buff.ly/3bXsSU4

The mission of Jesus is not something that can be accomplished by a single individual or one charismatic leader. We must come together as teams made up of unique gifts and callings to equip and mobilize God’s people for mission. When it comes to teamwork, we are better together!

Our goal is to bring out the best in each church planter and help determine their next strategic step. In a coaching environment, these goals are primarily accomplished through asking the right questions and encouraging the planter to take steps of faith. Are you interested in connecting with one of our experienced, passionate coaches?

If we get family right, the whole world works right! The best way to have exponential and generational impact for Jesus is through the legacy of a whole family. If we get this right in our homes, we give the following generations the best opportunity to experience and share the love of Jesus. Simply put, family is mission critical!

Excel Leadership Network had an excellent Discovery Center this week in Ohio. Thanks to Paul Taylor and the RiversCrossing team for hosting us and leading! - JD #DeepRoots

#TBT! For the next few weeks, we are throwing it back to this great blog series from @Exponential. Enjoy! Before God can create a movement through you, He must first move in you. Before God will create community through you; He must first be in community with you. Only a whole and healthy leader doing life in communion with God can lead themselves, their family, their team and their church into greater experiences of being together with God.

As the American church experiences massive changes in 2020 and beyond, adaptability is proving to be crucial to survival and flourishing. One way forward is through smaller gatherings - as Ralph Moore says, small will become beautiful during hard times.
