Prior to becoming senior pastor, Rich taught business law at The Ohio State University for five years.

In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Jay talks with Rich Nathan about growing up in a completely secular environment, and how chasing his wife in college led him to an encounter with the Holy Spirit that radically changed the course of his life. They also talk through some practical advice for offering a salvation call during a church service, the benefits of making it a specific opportunity separate from the ministry call, and the danger of making assumptions about the spiritual status of people in your congregation.

Life gets busy. Has Getting Things Done been gathering dust on your bookshelf? Instead, learn the key ideas now. We're scratching the surface here. If you don't already have the book, order it on https://geni.us/getting-done-book (Amazon) or get the https://geni.us/allen-free-audiobook (audiobook for free) on Audible to learn the juicy details. For full text, infographic, and animated versions of this summary and analysis of Getting Things Done, download our free app: https://www.getstoryshots.com (https://www.getstoryshots.com) Disclaimer: This is an unofficial summary and analysis. David Allen's PerspectiveDavid Allen is an author, consultant, international lecturer, and founder of the David Allen Company. Forbes recognized David Allen as one of the top five executive coaches in the United States. Leadership Magazine quoted him as one of the “Top 100 thought leaders.” Finally, Fast Company hailed David Allen, “One of the world's most influential thinkers” in the arena of personal productivity. Quick AnalysisGetting Things Done identifies how you can maximize your ability to plan and actualize tasks and projects. GTD has now become a popular approach for getting professional and personal tasks completed within the management realm. That said, Allen's approaches are meant to be generalizable to all facets of your life.  StoryShot #1: Get in Control of Your LifeAn out of control life will make it impossible to think strategically or plan effectively. So, Allen recommends obtaining control of your daily tasks before focusing on the bigger picture. Getting things done is a bottom-up approach to productivity. The goal of this approach is to establish a sense of control over your work. This control will free up the mental energy required to think about lifelong goals. StoryShot #2: Define Your Perception of FinishedTo get things done, you have to understand your own definition of finishing something. Most people have a list of to-dos that don't even have a clear vision of what a finished task looks like. This approach does not align with your natural tendencies. Your brain is designed to solve problems where you understand what the endpoint is. This means you should always seek to establish a clear stopping point. If you are struggling to make progress, ensure that you are still aware of what done looks like. StoryShot #3: The Five Phases of Effective WorkCollectingYour work is considerably more effective if you have all your required resources in one place before you begin. You will also make better use of your available inputs if all your resources are together. So, engage in collecting. Collecting is the act of gathering resources, knowledge, and tasks. ProcessingAs well as gathering all relevant resources, you must also establish what you can do with the resources at your disposal. Allen calls this processing. Separate and allocate your resources to prioritize what you are planning on doing next. This can be done by task, project, or plan. Processing means emptying the box or drawer and defining the next executable action for all items you've collected in the first step. Most people find it difficult to act on a specific task because they do not know what they need to do next. Without defining, the chore is nothing more than an abstract idea and will keep popping up in your thoughts. OrganizingAfter processing, you then have to take your results and place them into a system you trust. The importance of this system is that it means you won't have to remember all the processing results. Organizing allows you to place these results in a useful format. Allen recommends placing tasks on to-do lists and projects on project lists. Then, place future plans on a tracking system, and reference information in a file or database.  Doing‘Doing' is simply the process of taking action on the plans you have already established. So, ‘doing' means working through the tasks you can accomplish right now. ReviewingAfter...

In the past year, Covid has presented us with many challenges and as our collective stress level has been steadily rising, we have seen the pressure of the pandemic lead to a surfacing of issues that are now causing significant levels of division both in our country, our communities, and sadly, even in our churches. In this episode, Dan Cody from our Church Management Solutions team had a conversation with Scott Sauls, Senior Pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville, Tennessee. Scott is the author of several books, including his most recent work, A Gentle Answer, in which he discusses how followers of Jesus can live and love like Christ in a defensive and divided era. They talk about what it means to abide in the gentleness of Christ and why it is imperative that we model our posture after Him in the way that we share our strong convictions.

In today's world, yesterday's methods just don't work. In Getting Things Done, veteran coach and management consultant David Allen shares the breakthrough methods for stress-free performance that he has introduced to tens of thousands of people across the country. Allen's premise is simple: our productivity is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized can we achieve effective productivity and unleash our creative potential. Source: https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Things-Done-Stress-Free- Productivity/dp/0142000280  Links Read more about the method here: https://gettingthingsdone.com/what-is-gtd/   BIG IDEA 1 (4:02) - Outsource your brain The fundamental principle of this method is that your brain is not designed to remember much. Every one of us is holding many things in our brain and according to David Allen, our brains can only hold four to seven items as memories. “Our brains are designed to generate ideas, not hold them”.  David wants us to free our brains from the shackles of remembering things and instead use them for what they are designed for; great ideas. Therefore we need to develop external systems to outsource and help our brains with the mental load of remembering things.  This helps avoid distraction and overwhelm.   BIG IDEA 2 (5:57) - Collect and clarify The first step of this method is downloading everything. Clear our brains and download all the things we’re holding on to a piece of paper (or likely multiple pieces of paper!). The in-tray is an important part of his method, this is where all the collation happens as you put all the items from your brain into a physical in-tray. Next we go to the processing stage. Once you get all the pieces of paper in the intray you need to process them one at a time. An important rule is that you only touch everything once so it gets processed straight away.  The next thing to ask for each item in the in-tray is “what’s the next action?”. David sets out five specific lists which items are collated into.  These lists are; 1) projects (things which require more than one action), 2) reference materials (things you need to look back on at some time), 3) someday maybe (for those pipe dreams and big ideas), 4) waiting on (for things that you’re waiting on someone else to action before you can) and 5) next actions (the collation of all the ‘next actions’ you need to take). This brings us to the point of processing, collecting and clarifying what needs to be done    BIG IDEA 3 (11:28) - Your next action is key A critical principle of GTD is that *everything* needs to be boiled down to the next action. In the book, David talks a lot about processing your next actions in between your fixed meetings or hard commitments in your calendar. He also argues that your calendar is ONLY for your hard commitments. So when you have time in between your meetings, you would start working on your next action plan on the list. I didn’t love this specific element of the model as I feel that ‘doing the work’ (which may well be your next action) needs scheduling in your calendar, as relying on the cracks of time between meetings just won’t cut it.  The book was written in 2001 so this could be a reflection on how work has changed in the last 19 years.   Music By:  Through the Fire – Instrumental Version Song by Michael Shynes Let’s Connect LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/steph-clarke Instagram: @stephsbizbookshelf Enjoying the show?

Lately, I've incorporated reading our company's leadership magazine articles on a daily basis. I've found them to be full of inspiration and motivation to reach my goals in my business. And, I encourage you to do the same. On top of that, what if you wrote your own article for the leadership magazine? What would it say about you? How would you inspire others with your life?

I'm commonly asked, "How in the world do you balance so many different projects at once?" In this episode I give away my secret weapon and the foundation of my entire productivity system - GTD. » Click here to download a summary of the GTD system plus a visual flowchart In my never ending quest to eliminate as much busy work from my life as possible and take clear action towards my goals, I've spent years navigating the world of productivity and learning everything I can (hence my obsession with Trello). There are so many tools, apps, websites, and resources to help organize your to-do lists, but the fatal flaw of every single one of these tools is just that - they are just tools. If you are truly interested in learning how to not only get more things done, but also ensure that you get the RIGHT things done, you need more than a shiny tool or a fancy to-do list app: You need a system. And in my opinion, the system that is going to - help you clarify your goals, organize your next actions, and most importantly clear the cobwebs in your head so you free up space to be creative again - is the GTD system developed by my guest David Allen. Whether your tool of choice is Trello, OmniFocus, or even post-it notes, the GTD system can help alleviate tremendous amounts of stress and anxiety, avoid the never ending busy work, and get you on track to accomplishing your life's work.
