Questions Featured in this Episode
1. 04:25: What do you do when you’re in a season of growth? What things do you focus on so that you can sustain that growth and continue to build on that momentum? And what do you focus on and protect so that you don’t blow it at a time of growth?
2. 09:20: I’m 20 years old and was just hired as a full-time Associate Pastor at my church. What are some of the top tips that you would have for a young pastor or leader starting out?
3. 15:00: You did a podcast about church growth barriers, which episode was that? We’re a church of 150 looking to grow to the next level.
4. 19:15: What does a pastor, like myself, who is 57 years old and though I feel like I’m at a point in my life where I feel like I’m the most theologically stable and even informed about current church culture, I can’t get a church to consider me seriously for a lead pastor position. What does someone like me do who has a calling and a lot to offer, do now? There are no scandals, moral failures or red flags that would mark me as unfit. I would appreciate your thoughts on people like me who still feel like they have a lot in the tank and still want to be involved, but in our youth-driven culture people think of me as over-the-hill, outdated or irrelevant.
5. 25:04: What are two or three ways to make a website more mobile-friendly?
6. 27:55: I’m a Senior Pastor in New York City. What does it mean to talk about a “staff-led” ministry?
7. 32:00: I just read your blog post, 7 Subtle Signs Your Church is Dying, and my heart breaks as I think that I might be watching that happen to my church right before my eyes. My question is: What can I do and how can I help?
8. 35:57: What other forms, other than church, do we listen to a talking head for 30-40 minutes or sing together? Does this mean the church should radically change how we do things? Or should we continue to be outliers in our culture?

Getting your most important priorities done early in the week, every week.
Discovering time to finally exercise, pursue a hobby, launch a blog, start a podcast or write that book.
Actually being OFF when you have a day off.
Imagine getting your life and leadership back. That’s what the High Impact Leader is designed to help you do.
