Providing Hope For Kids
Posted on 08. Feb, 2011 by frank.
Kids Hope USA is a great partnership for our church with tons of potential. It is one of the few Christian organizations that provides the church access to the public school system. Plus, God can use you to change the life of a child forever, and He just may use that kid to change you [...]

Beyond the Great Omission
Posted on 07. Dec, 2010 by frank.
I had the privilege of working with Brian Jones and the team at Christ’s Church of the Valley for almost 10 years. I’m so grateful for experience and preparation they had given me as a leader. If you missed his main session at the North American Christian Convention you can view it below. He asks [...]

People Destroy Marriage, Not Facebook
Posted on 19. Nov, 2010 by frank.
I’ve been asked a few questions lately about the pastor in NJ that has demanded the leaders in his church delete their facebook accounts or resign. I don’t really know the pastor, and while I’m sure he has good intentions, I completely disagree with his request. I actually think it is a move that will [...]

Don’t Wait For Inspiration
Posted on 21. Aug, 2010 by frank.
Yep that’s right, don’t wait for inspiration – GO FIND IT! As a pastor Sunday keeps on coming and every week, those of us that preach, we have to deliver. Some weeks are easier than others because there are topics I find more interesting, issues that I’m more passionate about, or things that I’ve spoken [...]

Swagger Wagon Church

I don’t know how in the world I missed this party this summer. Toyota dropped this video on YouTube in May and I just saw it for the first time tonight. The commercial brings a little fun to the minivan and some stressful parenting issues. I like to think we can do something similar with [...]

Confrontation Is Not A Bad Word
Posted on 21. Jun, 2010 by frank.
I’ve received many calls over the years from leaders in the church about conflict. Small group leaders, elders, key volunteers and staff will call and say, “Frank, my team/group is in complete turmoil.” I’ll often be silent for a minute or two and let them share and then I’ll be quiet for a moment and [...]

I Love It When People Get It
Posted on 04. Jun, 2010 by frank.
As I connect with leaders and volunteers at Hope Summit, I love it when people catch the vision for evangelism. It isn’t easy to change direction and do something differently when you’ve been doing it the same way for years. I had the privilege of meeting with our Arts Team and began to cast vision for our [...]

Are You Preaching From An Island?
Posted on 15. May, 2010 by frank.
Confession time. Sometimes when pastors preach, we feel like we are on an island and there is no one actually listening. We get little or no response from the church, and we can almsot feel like what we’re doing is pointless. It kind of feels like we are stranded on an island in the middle of a lake. We can see [...]
