Before getting to this week’s Top 10 list, I want to make you aware of my latest strategic partner Church Fuel.  Running a healthy and growing church is a challenge that can overwhelm even the most seasoned leaders.  In addition to preaching, leading, and serving, you’re probably responsible for strategy, finances, and processes. These are the things most pastors don’t learn in seminary.

That’s why Church Fuel offers insanely practical help for pastors and church leaders.  The bottom line…Church Fuel works!  Led by my longtime friend Michael Lukaszewski, I deeply believe in the organization’s ability to serve pastors and church leaders.

To get you started, the following are some FREE resources they are currently offering:

• The Senior Pastor’s Guide to Reaching More People. This is one of their most popular free resources and it helps churches that want to reach people, work on outreach, or invite more people to church. Click HERE to get your complimentary resource.
• The Senior pastor’s Guide to Leading a Staff.  This free resource is full of practical help on leading a team, running great meetings, and getting staff alignment.  Click HERE to get your complimentary resource.
• The Pastor’s Toolbox. This free resource lists 25 recommended apps, products or services for church leaders. It’s a great resource to recommended to a general audience. Click HERE or on the image provided to get your complimentary resource.

Church Fuel’s best resource is their membership program which costs $49 or $99 per month.  I cannot recommend enough you take advantage of Church Fuel’s online coaching programs.  They are incredible.  Click HERE  or on the image above to learn more.  You will not be disappointed.
