Why do some words excite a team and others do not? Continue to point toward the vision or distract? It is because the words a leader uses can either propel your church or team toward embracing your vision or totally derail the train. Here in his episode of the Seats to Streets Podcast, Host JR Horn and Co-Host Brian Gorman have a conversation about specific words and phrases a leader must master the use of. The words we as leaders chose to use are more powerful than we think! Still not convinced? The next time you are introducing your team, instead of saying "Sally works FOR me." use the phrase "Sally works WITH me." Watch Sally light up as her place on the team was just affirmed and shown to be valuable. Master these phrases, use them regularly.

Monday morning rolls around and you look at your phone and see many different red notification icons. There is a red icon on your texting app, one on your email app, and a couple on your Planning Center app. As you begin to work your way through your communication and replying process, you start to notice that you use many different ways to communicate with people and store information. Then it happens, you are sitting in a staff meeting and after someone has just asked a question you respond “We have already talked about that.” You grab your laptop and start to search for the email thread that you swear has the conversation. Then you grab your phone and look through your texts. Nowhere. Can't find it at all. But you KNOW you had that conversation! This is where using a defined Tech Stack with your staff and volunteers will help you to NEVER LOSE another conversation thread again!

Every year in October, pastors find themselves in a unique time of the year. That time of year is Pastor Appreciation Month, or Week, or possibly for you just a specific day. Either way, there are good things and bad things that happen at this time of year. I heard in a passing conversation once that ministerial staff has to be competent in over 60 areas while the average line worker in a factory needs to be competent in only 7. These competencies can range from writing a sermon, public speaking, pastoral counseling, marital counseling, pre-marital counseling, conducting a funeral, counseling grieving individuals, managing a staff, filing ministerial taxes, and the list can go on and on and on. The problem exists when a pastor struggles to know if they are making a difference in people's lives. So as a solution to that, Pastor Appreciation Month was created as an attempt to allow your local pastoral staff to feel as if they are making a difference in the lives of their congregation by receiving encouragement and thanks for their work. However, some gifts mean more than others. In this episode of the Seats to Streets Podcast Host JR Horn and Co-Host Brian Gorman break down what Pastor Appreciation Moth is, Why it is looked down upon by some Pastors, and then their top three of the Best and Worst gifts to give you pastor this month!

Episode 2 of the Seats to Streets Podcast brings you Host JR Horn and Co-Host Brian Gorman as they discuss how Brian has used a Kingdom Analytics report to change the course on how their church talks about discipleship and local outreach. If you are a parent with kids in school you are always eager to hear a report to know how your child is progressing in school. As a church leader, having a report about your community, much like a report card in school just without the punishment that may come along with D's or F's, is something most church leaders wouldn't hesitate to study carefully. Church leaders ache knowing that there is more ministry to do in their local community. By not knowing the needs in our community, oftentimes they go unmet. When these spiritual, physical, social, etc needs are not met in the community that surrounds our churches, we can lose sight of who our neighbors are and forget how to adequately be the hands and feet of Jesus. Here in this episode, listen in as Brian tells his story of receiving a Kingdom Analytics report about the community his church resides in. The report detailed a specific number of individuals that do not know Jesus or have chosen to no longer follow Jesus. What happened next to Brian's church, their discipleship plan, and their mission is one to not miss! If you are impacted by this episode and want to find out how you can receive a report of your own, be sure to contact Kingdom Analytics. When you visit their website, take advantage of scheduling a free consultation. https://kingdomanalytics.com/free-consultation In that consultation, mention that you heard of Kingdom Analytics from the Seats to Streets podcast for a 10%.

I am often asked, what is Seats to Streets Church Coaching? To me, quality church coaching must contain these 3 key elements. Many "coaches" want to come in and tell you where you are wrong and how their way is better. Simply put, this is not coaching. When you win, the coach wins. Your success in moving your people from Sunday morning seats to local and global streets is my win. Let's partner together to make that happen! Feel free to send me an email at jr@seatstostreets.com or check out www.seatstostreets.com for more church coaching resources.

You are sitting in the stands watching your favorite football team. The person that is coming to watch the game with you is running late. They show up 10 minutes into the game, sit down beside you, and ask the same question everyone asks at a game. That question is "What's the score?" The question is centered on the idea of how a team is performing. Hundreds of hours are spent practicing or working on a project and everyone wants to know if they are growing closer to achieving their goal. Everyone needs a scorecard to look at. This same idea holds true for the church. How do we know if we are succeeding? How do we know if we are doing a good job of making disciples? Creating a visual scorecard that your team can see will allow them to see where they are succeeding or where their attention needs to focus on now. Listen in as Host JR Horn and Co-Host Brian Gorman walk you through how to create a scorecard for your team. For more Church Coaching resources, visit www.seatstostreets.com

Covid has done a number on our churches and pastoral staff. Ministers that have been classically trained in shepherding and pastoring have had those opportunities stripped from them due to Covid.

Most of us understand the need for setting goals. Sometimes we call those goals, resolutions. What does it look like to set missional goals for you and your church? Can you and your church work hand in hand with a missions partner to set mutual goals?

Here comes the bread and butter of the Seats to Streets Podcast! How do ministers move their people from Sunday morning seats to local and global streets? Practically speaking, what are churches doing to mobilize their church family to serve. We have gathered their stories, now its time to give them to you! Sit in as we interview ministers from across the nation and ask them two questions: 1) How are you moving your people from Sunday morning seats to local and global streets? 2) What is the next step for a church to do something similar? This week we have John Kelley, Minister of Engagement from Catalyst Christian Church in Nicholasville, KY. Hear how they have gone from being a church plant with only $150 in the back to being a church that is planting other churches here in the states and overseas. Want to engage more?

Why on earth would we be talking about setting goals in February? Doesn't this process take place before the new year begins? Ideally, yes. However, most goals even set in November or December tend to breakdown if you aren't careful in your planning and strategy. Join Host JR Horn and Co-Host Brian Gorman as they discuss how normal goal-setting breaks down and how you can set quality, measurable, attainable goals amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. If you normally get hives when someone starts to talk about Goals, then this episode is for you! More from Seats to Streets Church Coaching can be found at www.seatstostreets.com
