If I've heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times. Someone will come to me and say, "if we only had better / more contemporary / more relevant music, more people would stay at our church."

To be honest with you, even as a lover of quality music on a Sunday morning, I'm not sure that's entirely the case - and in this video, you get to see why!

There is a culture of competition between churches today that's unhealthy. The idea that if we only had the resources or the staff or the building the church down the street has, we could compete. Please, don’t think like that.

Working at a church is a unique mix of worldview, employment and lifestyle that is hard to describe unless you've done it, and “when you're at work” seems to be one of the most challenging intersections to navigate for Senior Leaders.
