Why Pastors Give Up

Pastors seem to dropping out of ministry like …

A variety of reasons are cited, but if you drill down, here’s what you’ll find…

Pastors.are.tired.

They’re wiped out and burnt out.

Why?

Because they’re doing all the work alone.

There’s so much pressure to grow.

So much pressure to take everything to the next level that Pastors are left with the burden of “making it happen” all by themselves.

It’s why we need to follow the “Jethro Principle” found in Exodus 18.

You know, where Jethro tells Moses to delegate responsibility and train leaders who can lead “thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.”

This is at the heart of my new Leadership Ninja coaching that starts tomorrow (May 16th @ 2PM EST).

I’m going to teach you a system for raising up leaders at every level of your organization AND we’re going to give you everything you need to implement it in your church.

Who should join this network?
– Pastors who want to last for the long haul
– Leaders who want to see their congregation grow from infancy to maturity
– Those who want to see their volunteer force double in a short time
– Pastors who want to see discipleship happening automatically in their churches
– Churches who want potential staff members waiting in the wings for an opening to become available
– Pastors who want to see all of their leaders developed from within

So if you’re interested in seeing an explosion of leaders in your church, then giddy up and head over to www.ninjaleadership.com.


P.S. There’s a bunch of bonuses for participating in the network. So don’t delay. Go to www.ninjaleadership.com.

How to Be the Brad Pitt of Church Leadership

One of my favorite books is “Moneyball” by Michael Lewis.

It’s about how the Oakland A’s consistently make it into the post-season, yet they spend a fraction of the cost that a team like the Yankees spend.

They recently made a movie about it starring Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, the General Manager of the A’s, who is the mastermind behind the team’s success.

So what’s the secret to the team’s success and what does it have to do with church leadership?

The A’s found that investing in their farm system allowed them to be competitive and it kept their payroll expenses low.

Churches need to learn this lesson.

Too many churches are spending far too much hiring staff from other churches, only to find, they aren’t a fit with their culture.

When you raise someone up through the ranks, they are already a fit AND you’ve already trained them to your style of ministry.

On May 16th (just 2 weeks from now), I’m launching Leadership Ninja, a 6-month coaching experience that’s specifically designed to show you how to build a leadership system from the ground up.

Here’s what a recent Leadership Ninja alumni said… “I have been involved in several coaching networks, and Leadership Ninja is by far the best! Through this network I was able to address a systemic problem that we kept bumping our heads with because I was simply ill equipped to address without the information that I received in Leadership Ninja! Bob, without your help I would just be floundering around. Thanks Friend.” – Kenneth Sesley – Senior Pastor, Carson, CA

Here’s what you’ll receive when you join Leadership Ninja…

– A monthly 75 minute coaching session taught by me via webinar
– Over $500 in bonuses resources given to you throughout the network
– Every document and form we use to implement a leadership development process
– FREE access to every Outreach Ninja webinar, tele-seminar or live event while you’re in the network
– A video and mp3 archive of each coaching session in case you miss it live

What’s the monthly investment? Only $179.95!

This network is not for wimps or lazy Pastors. So if you’re a flake, please don’t join.

Eliminate the 4 Most Annoying Words a Pastor Hears

There are 4 words that Pastors hate to hear. Words that are like nails running down a chalkboard to any preacher.

I’m sorry to make you read them, but here they are…

I’m. not. getting. fed.

It hurt me just to write them.

They’re annoying.

Frustrating.

But sometimes… they’re true.

Sometimes people really aren’t growing.

I’ve learned that there are times when churches don’t offer people a clear path to grow and christians feel stuck in their faith. The truth is, this is more common than we might realize.

One of the biggest reasons that people walk out the back door of churches isn’t because they weren’t greeted warmly or they didn’t like the music; it’s because they stopped growing.

That’s why having a leadership development process is so vital. Making leadership development the centerpiece of your discipleship model does so many good things, but here’s 2 huge benefits:

#1 – It silences all the people who say they aren’t being fed. 

When you have a process that leads people to greater degree of leadership and Biblical understanding, you will never have to worry about them leaving the church.

#2 – It creates a model where people know what their next step is. 

One of the reasons people say they aren’t growing is because they are confused as to what the next step is.

Leadership Ninja will help you build a system that disciples and trains leaders simultaneously.

In fact, session 1 is all about building a leadership development system.

But it starts tomorrow (October 12th) and there’s only 2 spots left.

So if you’re interested in seeing an explosion of leaders in your church, then giddy up and head over to www.ninjaleadership.com

P.S. There’s a bunch of bonuses for participating in the network, but there really are only 2 spots left. So don’t delay. Go to www.ninjaleadership.com.

The Ninja Secret to Unlimited Leaders

I am deeply committed to seeing leaders raised up at every level at Calvary. I know that’s important to you as well.

There really is a secret to raising up lots and lots of leaders.

It’s not calling staffing companies and combing through resumes.

Makes. me. want. to. gag.

Instead, the key to unlimited leaders is making your leadership system part of the DNA of for church.

Everyone needs to know about it.

Even though who don’t participate.

They need to know that everyone who enters your leadership development process gets developed, discipled, and dispatched into greater levels of ministry.

When everyone knows that your leadership development is the place to be, that’s when you’ll stop having a leadership shortage.

Leadership Ninja kicks off in 6 days and we are leading off with a session on building your leadership system.

A system that trains and develops leaders at every level.

So if you’re interested, grab your nunchucks and run over to www.ninjaleadership.com.
