Links for Friday - Sept 20, 2013

Aloha gang,
Just checking to see if you've had a chance to follow-up on this blog.  I'll be looking at the stats to see if you're following yet.  Here's a good link for you to click for the weekend.  God bless and see you Sunday!

Links for Tuesday - Sept 17, 2013

Aloha gang,
Here's another good Lifeway-connected source for thoughts and info that covers many topics.  This blog is by Trevin Wax, editor of The Gospel Project.  His blog has been going since 2006 and he has lots of info on leadership stuff, book reviews, people-that-you-should-know profiles and more!  His style is quick and easy to read - just my style!
Enjoy and have a great Tuesday!
Chris

Links for Monday - Sept 16 - Pastor Craig Webb

Aloha gang,
The link for today is a resource site for pastors but it's also a connection to my #1 resource for all things related to the church - Craig Webb!  Craig was the pastor here at LBC for 9 years prior to my arrival and he is now employed by Lifeway to resource for pastors.  Craig's weekly newsletter is free if you want to subscribe - just connect on the website.  You can also email Craig directly if you have a ministry need and you're looking for the best source.  And tell him I said 'Aloha!'
Have a blessed Monday!
Chris

Aloha gang -

The Barna Group Research

Mahalo for your time and energy in our meeting today.  I'm excited about the vision ahead of us and I truly appreciate your willingness to invest in the ministry of LBC for an incredible future for us, our children and the entire ohana.
Here's another link for those of you who like to know what the world around us is thinking -  it's a great resource for this kind of info.  The link is for Barna.org under the pic.
Try this video to gain a better understanding of the way in which the Cooperative Program works for us:

Keep looking...  I'll be sending you more.
Thanks again and have a great Sunday afternoon.

Wassup?

What's up, guys?
I just wanted to pass on a couple of links for you to look at and maybe get to know a little better. These sites are great resources for ideas or thoughts, for practical items or illustrations and all kinds of stuff in between.

1.  ChurchLeaders.com - great articles and blogs

2.  Blogsite of author, pastor and researcher, Ed Stetzer (also president of Lifeway Research)

Feel free to try them out a few times before you either believe in them or give up on them - there will always be more coming!  Have a blessed day!

Welcome! I'm glad you stopped in!

This is the introduction to an interactive information sharing spot for the leadership of Lahaina Baptist Church.  Please save this link in your computer's bookmarks so you can return to this site often - I hope to use this to encourage us in spiritual leadership.
On this blog, you will find:
1.  Articles dealing with leadership from many various on-line resources,
2.  Statistical information on current trends and what-not to guide your understanding of our society,
3.  Response/feedback areas for you to share your ideas and thoughts on the blogs, and
4.  Current LBC info for staying up-to-date on the things that we need to share as leaders...
...with a healthy mix of humor, personal notes and more to help equip you to be the best you can be in Christ that you can assist others in becoming their best!
Thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for more!
Chris
