  • It’s an intriguing title, why would leadership be too heavy to carry?

    In this episode Christy asks Lance

    Explain the idea of the starfish and spider in terms of your chapters on leadership. Talk about how you went “from being the spider, to being the one caught in the spider web”? Why is the current way Churches are doing leadership too heavy to carry? What happened in the mid 1990’s in regards to the church growth movement that changed the landscape of local churches? “The Church is a business and has to run like a business.” I have heard that as well from people I respect greatly. Why is that a problem and what mind shifts do we need to take that is a healthier approach to church and collecting money? You have a powerful quote in The Starfish and the Spirit that says; “When the church is dysfunctional, it is the most appalling of all the institutions.” Explain. Doesn’t someone have to be in charge? Help us understand the main characteristics/duties of a light-load leader?

    In this episode Christys asks Laura:

    Why did you team up with your Dad to write?How do church wounds affect your soul and create anxiety? Can you expand on resisting loyalty, celebrity and leader culture more? “We are more concerned with who is coming to church than who these people are becoming.” Why was that quote so important for you to share with us? In Pivot you explain the case study of the Oak Hill, CA pastors. Explain their story.How do you test the soil of a church if you are a regular attender? What characteristics are we looking for? Can a mega church model work?

  • Fearless Tip 23

    Last week's powerful interview with Sydney Jones on surrendering with OCD is a must-listen (Talk 24)! Share it with someone who needs it!

    Today, Christy is sharing her Surrender Experiences:
    1️⃣ Quitting corporate sales in 2012
    2️⃣ Closing my photography company in 2016
    3️⃣ Leaving a local church in 2023 (more on this in two week for Tip 24)

    Common thread? Peace after surrender. Remember, being in God's will doesn't mean no challenges, but there's grace and peace in surrender.

    What are you holding onto that God is asking you to surrender? Let's reflect together.

  • Sydney was diagnosed with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) three years ago, and is passionate about decreasing stereotypes and stigmas that are around those who are fighting their own battles with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and with mental health. She is currently on the path of publishing my first poetry collection: Tuesday, which is the story of her spiritual journey through OCD.

  • In today's Tip, I explain how we are more than just a body. We have to build our soul and spirit to overcome anxiety too.

    Here are 7 more Scriptures that help me build my faith and overcome fear.

    · “Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.” (Ps. 23:4 nlt)

    · “So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (Deut. 31:6 nlt)

    · “Suddenly, a fierce storm struck the lake, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, ‘Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!’ Jesus responded, ‘Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!’ Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm.” (Matt. 8:24–26 nlt)

    · “God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.” (Ps. 46:5 niv)

    · “They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.” (Ps. 112:7 niv)

    · “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.” (Ps. 46:1–3 niv)

    · “Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.” (Ps. 91:1–7 nlt)</BL>
