Mark Clifton and Mark Hallock discuss some tips from Thom Rainer on church revitalization. Substantive changes in a church typically don't hold until has been at a church at least 4-5 years. The most common way to face reality in a church is to look at a 10-year attendance pattern. Revitalization is not something that happens with the snap of a finger. You don't revitalize a church in your power. You do it through God's power. There are a lot of pastors and church leaders who just don't want to ask for help. If there were no risk in church revitalization, every church would be revitalized. Don't get into revitalization if you're afraid to lead by faith.

HCP - Ep. 213 - Guest Daniel ImOn this podcast Larry and Drew welcome Pastor and Author Daniel Im. Daniel has been on the podcast before talking about his book “No Silver Bullets” and today the discussion is around his new work, “The Discipleship Opportunity”. Daniel explains that we have to focus on those in our churches that are interested in discipleship and stop spending so much time on trying to connect to those who are not. We should train our interested disciples to become disciple-makers and see those opportunities realized. You can find his new book at Amazon at the link below:The Discipleship Opportunity - by Daniel Imhttps://www.amazon.com/Discipleship-Opportunity-Leading-Great-Commission-Post-Everything/dp/1641587490/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3BU74TNYEYD0B&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.q5a9eBMcSpnrc9IegK-f4G7m3SI0pn3FQxESjoH_C077WQJ8LN-FugtBTsYrEziZx40owPl15uRNOSk7ZOvUI_OPS7Ant9ctwhi4AVm7ER9VloE1CgBAf-QikRU5_ZdNw2nMjsbXbH2yiVmuXVaYhVzfnZQjEPYLiccnI6SbIU1w1AHhP-Up6L6bKiVu2vr_p54HL6U1zwadCxYvatlw1RGN9aDXM9BNjcWWXNzshaA.ep9egrerY06F-DKH--mHsdNBinX09mYkWLOTLGcKG2I&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+discipleship+opportunity&qid=1721924631&sprefix=discipleship+opportun%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-1You can email us at info@healthychurchpodcast.com orTo find more information about The Healthy Church Podcast go to:http://www.healthychurchpodcast.comor find us on FaceBook!For a video of today's podcast, you can find it on FaceBook or YouTube!

The pandemic wreaked havoc on our world like nothing else in our lifetime. The fallout continues with polarization, division, depression, isolation, distraction, and the disappearance of many people from inside the walls of the Church. But what if the events of the past few years were not a problem but an opportunity? What if God was using this time in our history to awaken people to His Kingdom and awaken His people to truly be a people of calm in chaos, to be salt and light in this dark world, and to be His ambassadors of hope and justice? What if God was stirring you and me to ask ourselves if we truly follow Jesus—or just watch from a distance? In this podcast, we are excited to sit down with a leading voice in the Canadian Church—someone who has cut through the distractions to call the Church back to becoming a disciple-making Church. Daniel Im is a pastor, Bible teacher, writer, and podcast host who is passionate about discipleship and the local church. He is the lead pastor of Beulah Alliance Church and the author of No Silver Bullets, Planting Missional Churches, You Are What You Do, and the newly released The Discipleship Opportunity. He lives in Edmonton, Alberta, with his wife, Christina, and their three children. In this conversation, we discuss topics such as: How the pandemic affected the Church and the world in which we currently live How we can navigate a post-truth, relativistic culture as people who believe in truth Why we should view the pandemic as an opportunity for greater growth in Christ The impact of “deconstruction” and what we can learn from it The dangers of consumerism in the Church and how God calls us deeper Why it is so essential for men to intentionally seek connection and friendship with other men We cover all this and more in this fascinating conversation with Daniel Im!   ---------------------------------------------- Website: https://impactus.org/ Check Our Resources for Men: https://impactus.org/resources/ ----------------------------------------------  Follow us on Social Media Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Twitter This Is Me TV

On today's episode of Group Answers, Daniel Im discusses the changing landscape of the church in a post-everything world. He highlights the increased hunger for spiritual things and the recognition that the world's promises don't deliver. Daniel emphasizes the need to move beyond assumptions and focus on the interested individuals in our churches and communities. He introduces the concept of sleepers, seekers, consumers, and disciples, and encourages small group leaders to create an open and non-judgmental space where people can ask the questions they are wrestling with. Daniel also emphasizes the importance of authenticity and vulnerability in group discussions.Daniel Im is a pastor, Bible teacher, writer, and podcast host with a passion for the local church.

There are cracks in the foundation. We have assumed that church and discipleship should look a certain way to produce more numbers, but through the last several years, we've seen we may have missed the mark. In this episode, Daniel Im discusses discipleship in a post-modern world where truth is seen as subjective rather than objective. He proposes a discipleship framework that focuses on interested Christians and interested non-Christians rather than just reaching one group or the other. He encourages churches to empower all disciples to make disciples rather than relying only on formal church leadership. We talk equipping believers to gather, grow, give, and go together through community rather than just gathering for teaching. So join us as we dive into the opportunity we have for discipleship in a post-everything world. Daniel Im is a pastor, Bible teacher, writer, and podcast host with a passion for the local church.

Today's guest is a serially successful human being who has founded multiple successful organizations. Dan Walsh is a Partner at Oakwolf Group and a Co-Founder of Team IMPACT. Dan joins Host Matt Benelli to discuss the importance of using rubrics and frameworks, recruiting and selecting the right people for the right role, why sales leaders should always be recruiting, the impact of personal responsibility and goal setting, and making sure you have a culture that allows a sales manager to be successful. Takeaways:Sales professionals should embrace the entrepreneurial mindset, acting as CEOs of their own territories, which involves ownership, risk-taking, and a strong belief in personal control over their success.The notion that entrepreneurship is reserved for a 'special breed' is a myth. Entrepreneurship is accessible to all, highlighting the importance of passion, resilience, and willingness to accept risks as key differentiators.Success in sales, like in entrepreneurship, relies heavily on self-belief and the conviction that personal actions dictate outcomes, reinforcing the idea of personal accountability and responsibility.Emphasize the need for continuous self-development, goal setting, and utilizing feedback effectively to enhance skills and performance with your sales team.The significance of recruiting the right talents, continuously improving the recruitment process, and ensuring the team's alignment with organizational values and goals.The critical role of asking the right questions as a leader to guide and motivate team members, rather than dictating actions. This approach enables team members to self-reflect and take ownership of their growth and results.Quote of the Show:“ I just worked harder and made more mistakes than everybody else to figure out what works.” - Dan WalshLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-walsh-381b195/ Oakwolf Group Website: https://oakwolfgroup.com/ Team IMPACT Website: https://www.teamimpact.org/ Shoutouts: Jon Hunter: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jhunter1/ Jon Hunter's Episode: https://coach2scale.transistor.fm/episodes/becoming-a-half-monk-half-hitman-seller-jon-hunter-coach2scale-episode-028 Ways to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Yb1wPzUxyrfR0Dx35ym1A Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-build-a-coaching-culture/id1699901434 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NvYWNoMnNjYWxlLWhvdy1tb2Rlcm4tbGVhZGVycy1idWlsZC1hLWNvYWNoaW5nLWN1bHR1cmU Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/fd188af6-7c17-4b2e-a0b2-196ecd6fdf77 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-5419703 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Coach2Scale CoachEm™ is the first Coaching Execution Platform that integrates deep learning technology to proactively analyze patterns, highlight the "why" behind the data with root causes, and identify the actions that will ultimately improve business results going forward.  These practical coaching recommendations for managers will help their teams drive more deals, bigger deals, faster deals and loyal customers.

We hear a lot of advice about how to grow spiritually. But what actions will make the biggest difference? According to one study, reading the Bible is the number one action you can take to grow. “When it comes to reading the Bible, hands down, this is the input goal that has a direct impact on the total score of all the output goals, or discipleship attributes,” writes Daniel Im in his book No Silver Bullets, reflecting on a study by Lifeway Research. I'm glad that George Guthrie has written A Short Guide to Reading the Bible Better.

Daniel Im comes on the podcast to discuss the importance of analyzing where your specific church is in regards to growth and maturity when making a plan to implement discipleship, and that no one forumla will be universal to all churches. In fact, it requires a large amount of patience and time when determining what discipleship looks like in your specific church.

Where do we find our worth, identity, and value? What defines you? Your Title? Position? Degrees? Wealth? Success? Family? Our toys or technology? Or is there something deeper, more significant that can form us into the men we were created to be?  In this episode, Dean is joined by Daniel Im, the Lead Pastor of Beulah Alliance Church. His latest book is You Are What You Do: And Six Other Lies about Work, Life, and Love. He is also the author of No Silver Bullets and co-author of Planting Missional Churches. He co-hosts the IMbetween Podcast with his wife, Christina.  In recent years, the gig economy has grown rapidly, especially through the pandemic. This is because the gig economy promises a life of freedom and flexibility. You can control what you do and when you do it. In contrast to most ‘day jobs', you are in control, you can achieve the freedom and flexibility you desire.  There are seven lies we tend to believe as we attempt to define ourselves, and they all come back to our core desire for more freedom and flexibility. This is nothing new. These lies can be traced all the way back to the garden when the serpent tempted Adam and Eve to be their own god and find freedom on their own.  Those seven lies are:  You are what you do.  You are what you experience.  You are what you own.  You are who you know.  You are what you know.  You are who you raise.  You are your past.  All these lies promise a life of freedom and flexibility when the truth is that freedom and flexibility are only found through Jesus. Through the one who gave up His freedom so that we could experience freedom through eternal life.  The invitation to step into the freedom that only Jesus Christ can provide is open to everyone today.  If you need that freedom today, take a step towards Jesus.   Listen to the full episode as Daniel and Dean expose these lies and help us understand how we can truly experience the ultimate freedom. Let us not live a lie; let us live in the truth of whom we were created to be! It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. In Him, we can find that freedom and purpose for each one of us.  Resources   Daniel's books:     You Are What You Do   No Silver Bullets   Planting Missional Churches   IMbetween Podcast       As an Amazon Associate, we may earn commission from qualifying purchases on Amazon.ca.

There are no secrets to school improvement. There are no silver bullets and no magic answers. It is far less glamorous. It is a question of identifying numerous actions and applying effort ‘day in, day out’ to improve them. This book contains 89 strategies which leaders have successfully used in primary and secondary schools to make the difference to their pupils. 'This brilliant book is a ‘must have’ for any school leader. It is packed full of realistic strategies that can be adopted, adapted and implemented' - Sarah Paul, Headteacher, Wyberton Primary Academy. ‘Packed to the brim with practical advice for school improvement that is founded in his real-life work.’ - Jayney Cooksley, Headteacher, Briar Hill Primary School. ‘Really resonates with me, the strategies are particularly useful for new Headteachers and those working in stand-alone schools’ - Rebecca Walker, Primary Director, West Norfolk Academies Trust. ‘The title of the book is perfect – there are no ‘silver bullets’ but this strips the mammoth beast of school improvement back to a toolkit that focuses on doing fewer things really well. No bandwagons to jump on, just relentless consistency in tried and tested strategies to provide a great education for all learners.’ - Donna Tandy, Deputy Chief Executive, The Focus Trust. ‘Each page bristles with rich examples of school improvement,’Abby Byford, Director of the ATT Institute ‘Provides simple and easy-to-access advice to school leaders, will be very much welcomed by many,’Rowena Hackwood, CEO, Astrea Academies Trust 'This book is a must have for any school leader looking to bring about positive change, with tried & tested ideas.’Liz White, School Improvement Advisor. ‘Everything I know of Paul’s work is nothing but excellence and ‘No Silver Bullets is no different’Julie Keyes, The Education Consultant. ‘No Silver Bullets offers a valuable and pragmatic approach to ensuring that school improvement strategies ‘stick’. Grounded in Paul Ainsworth’s extensive experience and expertise, this book will be an invaluable resource to any school leader seeking to make sustainable improvements in their school community.’ - Zoë Elder, author of ‘Full On Learning’ ‘A book to not just read once but act as a reference, challenge and reflection as to where you are at on your School Improvement journey and context.' - Stephen Logan, Deputy Head, Malet Lambert School. ‘No Silver Bullets is an excellent guide to key strategies that really make a difference when it comes to school improvement from someone who “walks the talk” with school leaders each and every day.' - Gavin Booth, CEO, Infinity Academies Trust. ‘No Silver Bullets is a reassuring and realistic message that school improvement relies on day to day hard work and clear focus and not an external quick fix being adopted by the school.’ -Leann Lynch, Strategic Teaching and Learning Leader, L.E.A.D. Equate Teaching School Alliance. ‘I have supported over sixty schools in the last six years as I have worked in Director of School Improvement roles across for four Multi-Academy Trusts. I help Headteachers and school leadership teams make their school the best it can be. I rarely suggest drastic changes, instead on each visit, I look for little tweaks which will make the difference to their school. This book contains the suggestions that I make the most often. They are quickly adopted and help drive school improvement.' - Paul K. Ainsworth So whether you are a school leader or a system leader, read through the actions and see which of these small changes can make a big difference to your school.

On this episode of the Pharmacy View podcast, Scott gets the latest on a range of digital technologies from Marta Stybowski, a pharmacist who has consulted widely across the industry. She currently represents the groundbreaking SiSU wellness platform whose stations are popping up in retail, Pharmacy and office spaces offering individuals a secure online portal to measure, track and improve a range of critical health biometrics. Marta shares the latest in terms of new technologies available to pharmacies looking to streamline workflow, enable team success and offer customers the most seamless possible experience. But just as importantly, she explains what makes the difference between success and failure in the choice and implementation of various platforms. “Technology alone,” she says, “won't transform your business.” Hear about some of the exciting tech solutions available to optimize your pharmacy, and the very human elements necessary to ensure ultimate success. Clear goals and appropriate tech tools are a start – but it's communication that guarantees the necessary buy-in among staff and customers. Marta also unpacks the exciting new SiSU Health Stations that today offer an easy way to stop at the pharmacy to privately test and track important physical and mental health markers. In addition to the four-minute health check, SiSU stations also offer supplemental health and lifestyle. Enjoy this conversation about opportunities to leverage health technology to create the best possible pharmacy operation and the most supportive available customer experience. Each pharmacy has its own specific needs and, with her deep experience on the forefront of health tech implementation, Martha shares with Scott some key factors to consider when charting the best path forward for your particular demographic, workflow and team.

HCP welcomes Pastor and Author Daniel Im. Daniel has written several amazing books on church planting (Planting Missional Churches), ministry (No Silver Bullets), and his latest book on soul health (You Are What You Do - and 6 other Lies). The conversation starts by discussing the succession process Daniel has been walking through for the last couple of years and what that has looked like for his church in transition. We then discuss the mistake many churches make in identity, as we talk about he addresses it in his book No Silver Bullets. The book also talks about a discipleship pathway and leadership pipeline, so Daniel speaks to that as well.The program wraps us talking about 2021 and what we might expect compared to 2020. Daniel encourages pastors to focus on the bride you've been given and be faithful there where you're planted. This is a wonderful discussion on a lot of topics with one of the leaders in church ministry today - Don't Miss it.For more information on Healthy Church Podcast go to -www.HealthyChurchPodcast.Com or find us on FaceBook.Click here for Daniel's books on Amazon.

Need a break from coronavirus? I hear you. Hopefully this podcast is what you're looking for. My favorite book so far in 2020 has been Daniel Im's No Silver Bullets. Yes, it was written 5 years ago and I'm late to the party, but the book hit me with the right message at the right time. Discipleship, Disciple-making, Multiplication, On-Mission... whatever the term is... I've been noticing that a lot of our churches, a lot of our church onlines, are missing this. And the more I delved into the book No Silver Bullets, the more it resonated with me. So, I did what any normal online geek would do... I tweeted the author, thanking him for the book. Next thing I know Daniel Im's on my podcast talking intentional discipleship, flipping the classroom, even discipleship online. Literally one of my favorite conversations to date, Daniel is a necessary break from the noise of Coronavirus while still providing relevant answers we need in today's Coronavirus season.

We've talked a lot about identity on this podcast and, more specifically, our identity in Christ. This week we'll get to hear from author Daniel Im about his new book, You Are What You Do (And Six Other Lies About Work, Life, & Love). Daniel is a pastor at Beulah Alliance Church in Edmonton, Alberta and has written a couple other books — No Silver Bullets and Planting Missional Churches. His new book addresses seven lies that we are told and what causes them to be so prevalent: You are what you do You are what you experience You are who you know You are what you know You are what you own You are who you raise You are your past I loved this book and I'm so thankful Daniel is here to share some thoughts about it and why this book is necessary right now. If you've ever found yourself placing your identity in any of those seven lies, I cannot recommend this book enough.

In this episode, Clint Clifton talks with Daniel Im about church planters and the lessons they learn from the gig culture. Twitter: @danielsangiFacebook: @daniel.im.authorInstagram: @danielsangiWebsite: danielim.com Transcript[00:00:00] Albert Miller: This is the church planning podcast. Thank you for tuning in every week. We sit down with leaders who are shaping church planting efforts. Here's your host Josh Turansky and Clint Clifton.Josh Turansky: All right, welcome to the church planting podcast. My name is Josh Turansky, and I'm joined in Studio by Clint Clifton plant. Great to see you. All right, so we're going to jump right in to introing this episode. It's conversation that you had with Daniel Im. Yeah. Daniel has a background in working for Life Way.Clint Clifton: Yeah. Josh Turansky: And so let's talk about that first. You're familiar with Life Way. Our audience may not be, what is Life Way?[00:01:00] Clint Clifton: First of all Daniel Im and Daniel Yang, we mentioned this on the Daniel Yang interview that we just had but they're both Asians, they’re both from Canada, they both are in church planting and they get confused all the time. Josh Turansky: Where they met each other.Clint Clifton: They both worked with Ed Stetzer but they are there are two different individuals though and they have the same first name, but this is this is Daniel Im. He wrote the book No Silver Bullets and he's now leaving Life Way to go pastor a church that he was previously on staff in Canada and so we talked about that stuff in the interview but but yes Life Way is where Daniel has been working, he’s been leading NewChurches.com which is Life Way’s, you know church planting resource peace and Daniel is he's a brilliant guy just very bright and has been you know in Canada working in the hard soil. So he he definitely understands the church planting landscape and some of the hardest parts of North America and and it's a really sharp mind great thinker. [00:02:00] Life Way, though Life Way is the research resource arm of the Southern Baptist convention and it's not normally known because Life Way has had up until recently all these retail stores and so people know it as like the Christian bookstore, but it's actually a part of the Southern Baptist convention. It's an entity assistance subsidiary of the Southern Baptist convention. It's one of only two of the Southern Baptist convention subsidiaries that are profit producing. So it actually dumps into the Cooperative program every year so missionaries around the world and in the United States benefit from the sales of books and bibles and other resources to Christians around the country. Yeah, but it was originally started as the Baptist Sunday school board in the idea was the purpose was to produce curriculum and materials for for southern baptist churches.Josh Turansky: And they're still doing that.Clint Clifton: And they're still doing that. Yeah gospel project is maybe something you've heard of that is Life Way product. Many many others [00:03:00] but gospel project may be the most notable.Josh Turansky: Yeah. Another thing that comes up in this conversation is the gig economy. Yeah gig culture. This is huge for church Planters. Clint Clifton: Yeah, interesting. Just just some statistics for you 55 million Americans are freelancing right now in our country. It’s at an all-time high and people are. Are gigging a lot there. You and I were talking just a few minutes ago. There are a lot of ways to do that. Now that are just offered to us on a platter. I mean, you mentioned a few like Goose call them out againJosh Turansky: Uber and Lyft.Clint Clifton: Yeah. Yeah Uber. Yeah super and all the subsidiaries or I was noticing even that make office which is kind of like we work is owned by Uber and make office is really a place that helps, you know, gig culture thrive.It's like you don't have to have your own office. You can have another office with a bunch of other creatives or designers or or you know business folks Josh Turansky: I have a friend. Started a co-working space. Yeah and planted his church out of his [00:04:00] co-working space. It just graduated from the co-working space into a school because they outgrew it but that was his side gig and it well, I mean, it's his income.Clint Clifton: Yeah. Yeah. I mean so many, I remember just having my mind blowing when I was first in church planting by this guy who's simultaneously, this is in Stafford, Virginia so simultaneously started a mortgage company and a church at the same time and you would go into the office during the week and you'd have like mortgage brokers on one side of the the cubicle and a pastor on the other side of cubicle and they were all working in the same space when there's like 15 or 20 people in there some of them are on the phone and trying to sell you a mortgage and some of them are our counseling you because you just defaulted on yours. I mean it was like it was wild and I remember just having my mind blown like wow, this is a thing, you know, that's really working and actually initially the mortgage company did really good, but the church didn't and it grew really slowly and then as time went on [00:05:00] the church really got Traction in the mortgage company struggled in the crisis that happened at the end of the 2000s with the housing market. And so the it was just a beautiful like thing and but but the gig economy or good culture is happening all over the place. Interesting statistic, also the majority of freelancers, and this research is from the Freelancers Union, but the majority of Freelancers who left a full-time job made more money within the first year of their their full-time dedicated focus to their to their gig than they did in their previous job, so it's amazing just to think about that the freelancers are dumping a trillion dollars into the economy through their freelance earnings right now. So Josh Turansky: Incredible.Clint Clifton: Lots of stuff going on in that in that realm almost everybody I know, you know has something they have some kind of online thing. They do it's us-born books. It's you know, I mean, do you just I mean [00:06:00] I literally from you today I bought an item that your wife made and sells on Etsy. Yeah, and you just delivered it to me like and when you came here today, I hope this doesn't come out before my wife's birthday is not like she listens to the podcast anyway, you get the point. I mean everybody no matter where you are in the country everybody is experiencing this the gig culture is strong and what we talk about here is it has a profound effect on the church and on church planting in particular because as the our country gets more expensive. It becomes more and more difficult to to finance our ministry, especially in these very expensive very needed urban areas.Josh Turansky: Yeah, I'll just say really briefly. I've been able to do some side work and what that's allowed me to do is to be able to as a church planter pass money off to people around me. Yeah, and so it's allowed me to it's basically. I'm able to get workers in the church because I'm [00:07:00] able to employ themClint Clifton: Pay them through some other means. Josh Turansky: Yeah, that's great. I'm glad you covered this in the interview. Let's let's jump right into your conversation with Daniel Im.Josh Turansky: Hey church Planters.

Daniel Im: Yeah, I'm glad to be with you Clint. Clint Clifton: Well, Daniel, you're a really interesting guy to me. I watched you from afar. And can you describe kind of what you were doing at Life Way when you were with Life Way so that so [00:08:00] that we can kind of the listeners aren't familiar with you can kind of help understand. Daniel Im: Yeah, so for the last five years I was serving at Life Way basically started something called nutritious.com with Ed stetzer and we were trying to figure out how Life Way we'll could resource church planting multi-site and multiplication. That was the that was the Whiteboard dream and then after that it was okay, Daniel, what do you want to do, what can we do and for me, Jim Collins always talks about what in the world can you be the best at right and for Life Way being a resource provider is like well Life Way has a life research and a and you know, the only statistically verified and validated Church planter assessment yet Life Way's not planting churches Life Way's not assessing anyone. They have an assessment, but they're not assessing anyone. They're not funding anyone. So not wanting to go, in that way and neither wanting to go down the seminary route. I was just okay, how do we [00:09:00] create resources? So that's where I was like, well, you know, when you think about what Life Way can do. Life Way can be is one of the world's most premier resource providers and Life Way can publish and they can create resources and articles and courses and just and trying to do it broadly. So that's why when we start a newchurch.com, it wasn't Life Way new churches, it was new churches. Yeah and what ended up happening over the last five years was just the just just being able to broadly resource across denominational Network the active church planting resources around church planting multi set of multiplication. Clint Clifton: W hen you think about church planting what what's happening at least In Our Lifetime and right now and they have Angelica world is there's a lot of growth happening in church planting. So if you think about it like an. Please don't send me emailsI know it's not an industry. I know this is not business. But if you think about it, like an industry, it's a very growing industry. It's an industry that has a bunch of infrastructure scaffolding kind of being built all around it. Now. It's an Enterprise so to speak and there's there's everything from you know, funding mechanisms to to all sorts of written resources and online resources and and all these organizations that exist to supportChurch Planters specifically and and even now there are organizations that exist to support sending churches specifically and [00:17:00] so. All of that is coming online the last 10 or 15 years and some interesting things are happening. We're getting vernacular settled like everybody we have language and we know what it means and it's like industry language when other people here, they don't know what we're talking about and we know what we're talking aboutIt's so Insider language, but there's also so there's some areas that have like solidified. I feel like especially especially in the last five years or so. There's some areas of. Really settled like that's the industry standard. So to speak where five years ago. You couldn't have said there's an industry standard for assessment for our for example, so but now but I wonder you I can't see what you can see because you're working with a bunch of different groups and denominations at at Life WayWhat are those kind of gaps that aren't solidified yet or maybe still need to. Need to have Focus put on them. And so I just I just wonder what comes to your mind initially when we ask that question. Like what's [00:18:00] still in development anything come to mind? Daniel Im: Yeah. So let's let's maybe talk about the to size spectrums of church plants, rightSo we have the house church that has been going. I mean it's been going for a long time right long time. But if you look at kind of Our lifetime right you think. 90s 2000s Wolfgang Simpson, you look at that whole house Church Network movement that was going going going didn't really go to wear or have the I think broad impact that people hoped for and and Francis Chan right now what he's doing in San Francisco. Is that right? It's House Church that he's doing from apartment to apartment. So there's definitely that current that's continuing to go. And I know there are a lot of people were like, oh, what do you think about letters to the church? Right Francis is new book and and going along that way and I'm like man, I love the vision of the church that he's written about and I love what he's doing but it's still it's not there's no church planting movements in North America or in the [00:19:00] west. Right? Right. That's not yet. Fully proven. And yeah, so I hope it is I hope it does grow to that but they're so there's that undercurrent and then there's that other current that the complete all the other side where that is obsessed with and and really was a outgrowth of of the church growth movement Church Health movement breaking barriers. Just this whole idea of launch large, right and I feel like when you use the word industry, I feel like the industry quote-unquote around the launch large methodology is very mature and it's well-developed. That's true. And if you and there are several organizations that if you go with them that is what they do and they will help you, Fund you, I mean you're going to have to fund at least four or five hundred thousand dollars. If not more you're going to launch with over 200 people and the methodology is really well documented. There's a lot of dissertations on it as well on the larger your launch Team the larger your church is going to be several years later. So that's that's [00:20:00] really good too. The issue though is when you try to do that sort of methodology in a Metropolitan City in a big state like a New York right like a New York City. Unless you're Hillsong, right? It's going to be really hard to do a launch large 400 person. Event because you're not going to find a venue for 400 people on a Sunday morning unless you have a ton of money And then are you even a church plant? Right. So there's there's obviously that and then you look at where these organizations in these denominations networks are succeeding at launch large and where they're not succeeding. I think that's interesting to note. So in terms of a black hole what sort of church planting methodologies work in New England, right what sort of church planting methodologies work in Tacoma, Washington, right or up in Maine or or right there in Salt Lake City? [00:21:00] Or in Edmonton Alberta, right or in Vancouver Montreal. So I think that's a thing where a lot of people are trying to use these mature methodologies in larger cities like that. Yeah, and it's not necessarily proving as effective as if it were done in the South or in Texas or in larger is like that. Clint Clifton: Yeah, that's a great point. So, I mean I'm thinking of the the the person who had could test that idea that a methodology or a model so to speak would be. Better in you know, suburban area or a rural area that it would be in an urban area I mean I hear you say that I'm like, of course that's obvious. It's clear. He just observational it's clear, but I think you know. I think most of the proponents of a model there are some people out there in church planting that are that are really like Pro Mini models, but not most people most people are really attached to a and [00:22:00] an approach or a yeah, I mean most of them would sort of push back on the idea that their model wouldn't work in any context. So anyway, you could like substantiate that or house that substantiated in your mind. Daniel Im: Yeah, so. Part of it is you look at who are you? Okay. So let's kind of reverse engineer a large launch where a large launch would work very well with an unknown Pastor. Okay, so I'm not talking about celebrity Pastor who is famous already or other career? And does that thing right? That's that's a very that's an anomaly. So let's say you are a. Unknown I hate using that word. But I think we all understand what that means. Yeah, you're not a famous. You're not Instagram famous person and you plan to church because God has called you to plant a church and you are planting a church in a wealthy Suburban neighborhood, Yeah, okay versus you're planting a church [00:23:00] in a not yet gentrified. Urban area that is very low income and subsidized housing, right? Okay. Let's say in both situations. You can get 200 people. Let's let's just say let's just say you can get 200 people. I don't know how but let's just say you are able to gather 200 people who are going to come to your launch your one of your launch Services one of your preview Services. How in the world are you going to pay back and fund everything? In both scenarios in one if you're in a wealthy neighborhood. Yeah, that's one thing but in the other when the average income is $20,000 for household. Yeah, how do you expect to continue to run a full programmed three full-time staff Church. Yes, you're fully funded for the first three years. But how do you expect to continue to do that? Unless you're fully relying on outside funding, right? Right and a lot of the launch [00:24:00] large methodologies are completely reliant on a three-year fully funded large staff launch, which is really good. If you're in the right neighborhood and you're doing that but it's not necessarily sustainable because in the research that we did with new churches and Life Way research man, if you don't get to self-sustainability in the first three to four years, it's highly unlikely that you'll get there right based on the sampling of who we surveyed Right. Now here's the thing. That's interesting to observe or I think something that I'd love for people to just keep their fingerprint on and to to see if I mean and if you come up with examples, please reach out social media email whatever to let me know who is doing this well, but I have yet to meet a church or find a church who is knocking it out of the park simultaneously in church planting and in Mercy MinistriesLike I'm not just talking about churches that are doing both it's fine to do both a lot of churches are doing both but with the churches that are like men they are multiplying [00:27:00] like every year or every two to three years. Yeah, right. They are they're not just writing a check. They're sending people out there training Planters they're going out but they are also they have a thriving Ministry to the city Urban ministry as you know a city to the least of these and they're really measuringI don't I don't know. I mean, do you know Clint? Clint Clifton: No, I don't actually I mean it's I and it feels like the reason that doesn't exist right now. At least from my vantage point. And again, my perspective is smaller than yours because of who I who I primarily work with but the reason that's not true is because the the of Angelica world at least the tribe that I run in they they areSo suspect of this The Becoming social becoming a so social they lose the gospel. Yes, and so it's a very, you know, it's almost as if when you're in a room full of the folks, I usually run with it. In the angelical, you know world [00:28:00] and somebody gets up and starts talking about social stuff. It's almost like the air gets sucked out of the room and everybody becomes tense and like okay, this is going a directionI don't feel good about like this. This smells fishy, you know, and so there's there's not and I so I can't think of an example and I think if there was somebody that was crushing it on social front. Most of Angelica lz-- at least on my side of the aisle would be suspect of what they were doing on the gospel front or on the multiplication frontSo Daniel Im: yeah, it's interesting thing too that I want to keep on observing because. It's God. Jesus calls us to do both Clint Clifton: a tie every day and everybody agrees about that. Yeah, yeah, because that's what I mean up. It seems like an industry black hole in terms of like nobody has figured it out yet in a there's not like thisI mean you think about like if you think about like things of the past this makes sense like you think okay. Okay, the attraction will think okay. Alright that [00:29:00] we are mind goes to Willow Creek it goes to you know, like if we're thinking 90s era job growth so it goes. Saddleback like we have a thing to think of yeah and in and there's several things now that I look out and I go we all kind of feel it's right, but I don't have a big thingI can think of and go. Oh that's it. Even in even for in chance stuff, you know, I mean with the letters to the church. I think everybody like I can't think of a better book launch, you know, then he did with that though. Everybody was so spun up about that so fast, I felt like even people that have been like long time in the church planting world where all like man, this is amazingThis is great. But I was just you know from my. Finished when I was thinking like but show me the church, like where's the church that we all go to and go they're crushing it. And if you look under the I mean, hopefully it becomes the church that Francis is leading but. Yeah, I don't know. I mean we're all kind of waiting to see [00:30:00] you know, Daniel Im: yeah, you're rightYou're right. I think you know Clint I love what you've done at Pillar church. And I mean we Ed and I even wrote wrote about you and the work that you've done in planting missional churches. And I mean, I've talked about you and the work that you did at Pillar tons of times with others because I think that's just such a that's such an amazing picture of a kingdom mindsetFor you guys to reach the Marine Corps. All right, and for you to reach that them where they're at where you guys were at and you to discern what was happening as the Marines continue to come to your church, but you do then flip that out into a church planting strategy. So in terms of another black hole, I would say okayHey instead of everyone trying to reach everyone who is God called you to uniquely reach in your city. Clint Clifton: Yeah Daniel Im: yesterday. Yeah yesterday. I interviewed Knoll. Hey Cannon, so he's at Riverview and he's Acts 29 guy Lansing Michigan and and they do multi site and they do church planting and and meant how he put [00:31:00] it yesterday in the interview of so clearWell at the time of this recording right what he said was when it comes to multi-site they'll only do multi-site. When in Lansing when people can actually say hey, this is Lansing. I'm from Lansing and we're he can actually address and prophetically address Lansing right his area the moment. He goes beyond Lansing even within Michigan to like Ann Arbor or Grand Rapids or this that he can't address Lansing anymoreHe can't address because people in Grand Rapids will not say they're from Lansing. It was there from Lansing and he said the moment it goes beyond that. That's when they're planting. That's where they're planting. And I love that tension between that logo local that local and that broader approach toward multiplicationSo that's another one of those those black holes that I see. Yeah, Clint Clifton: And I actually think. Now we have the praetorian project is actually expanded to begin working with that army bases as well. And we're looking incredible. Clint Clifton: Yeah. Yeah. It's been fun. But looking for Navy and stuff like that, but I don't I think that it would not have gotten traction, especially in my experience level and kind of where I was at the time of getting it started had we had we broadened out just one more concentric Circle. I [00:34:00] think the fact that we were aiming at such a. A specialized group. Yeah helped us be better at what we were doing and it helped us communicate what we're doing in a more powerful wayYeah, and I don't know if it's a you thing or what but when I I remember having angst feeling like we're limiting ourselves by doing this, you know, and and actually now the older I get the more I feel like limited limits or so good limits helps Focus like they're just they're really what we need to really do something good. Daniel Im: Yeah percent. Yeah, Clint Clifton: okay. So talking specifically about the area of church planting that is what seems to be kind of growing to me is this like we talked about this a little bit earlier in a previous conversation today about like team church planting. Yeah instead of just. You know through the 90s and early 2000sIt was just kind of like the church. Everything was about the church planter and [00:35:00] even in the x29 kind of ramp up when x29 is really, you know, hot and heavy that it was all about. The planter SBC is definitely been all about the planter and it's kind of like it's kind of like if we have this thing then that's what we needSo it seems like. People are accepting the team thing a little bit more but there doesn't seem to be any literature produced for them or a way to talk about it. That's the common way like how we don't even know who to call that group of people right now, right the team all we know is to say the team.Daniel Im: yeahOkay, you know, what's interesting about this. I feel like we can talk about it for me a few different perspectives. You obviously can reverse-engineer larger churches that have teams. And that are doing team leadership and what that looks like and I think there's validity and there's a lot we can learn from thatThe only issue is that's not very helpful to a church plant that doesn't have the budget [00:36:00] to have a big team like that. So when you think about it from that perspective, you have these churches like Austin Stone like Village like Summit, you have a few of these Village and Summit both established churches that move toward more multiplication. They're very both teams structured Austin Stone that was planted Matt Carter but has but within their first couple of years actually moved very much toward a team model Riverview Church withNo, he can and he's been doing it a long time and has really neat model around team Ministry. He didn't plant the church, but he has been there for 28 years and leads it toward a team model. So there's a lot of these examples and larger churches that I've larger budgets and our Mega that are doing team [00:37:00] in terms of a church plant, rightI've friends out in La who co planted. Right, they were fully funded in ela well-funded because it’s LA, co-planted and recently one of them stepped off not because of anything. Their relationship or just because it wasn't working there other reasons. Yeah. So now there is a solo lead planter. Yeah Pastor that they're now going to hire someone else to now all that to say David Fitch is probably the one that I would encourage people to look up when it comes to Bible and when it comes to team model of ministry, he's at a Christian and Missionary Alliance Church. I believe it's in the somewhere. I think it's in Chicago. I forget specifically where he's at. But but what he's done is he's actually been a part of a team Ministry a team leadership Ministry that t hey are sustaining and they are doing it by vocationally, but the reason they've been so successful in terms of [00:38:00] internal metrics wise in terms of health and long-term ministry as because he has a lot of people that are all Bible occasional. Clint Clifton: Yeah, Daniel Im: right. So it's not just one person that's by vocational and their helpers but these are everyone all these people who are giving a lot of time and energy by vocationally into this workYeah. Yeah Hugh halter as well right in his book Bible Clint Clifton: right that that's the that's the kind of thing that I think we need like. 30 examples are 50 examples for to start to be like, okay. This is a thing that's really really happening out there because I actually know know what's happening. I can think of some examplesIt's not like definitely standardized yet, but it's the most hopeful thing in church planting to me. Because one of the things that's been really exceptional about our work at Pillar. That's unusual when I when I compare it to other church planning work. Is that regular everyday Christians are those marines that are [00:39:00] moving from Base to BaseThey inevitably get to be a part of those teams not because they signed up for it or because they're even that spiritually mature. But because they're a part of our church and they get orders to another one of our Church's I mean Uncle Sam tells them to go there so they can't really say no and then they go there and of course they're going to not look for a different church and the community what if they're going to go right to thatSo it's it has our work has inevitably involved the everyday Christian who's just involved in the in the church, but if you don't have a mechanism built into the life of your Movement Like That. It's Gotta Be You No, More defined. And so anyway, I'm just I'm just excited about that area because I feel like it is bubbling under the surface and I think when we get to the place where we have a bunch of examples and everybody validates it as a real thingThen I think we're going to have groups of friends getting together and saying let's go start a church. I mean, yeah, they just to Seminary buddies or something like that. Daniel Im: Yeah [00:40:00] and the unique thing about what what the praetorian project and what you've done it pillar is you didn't I mean the money questionYeah. The money question was solved. Clint Clifton: Yeah. Because Daniel Im: yeah, so that when it comes to team Ministry if we want to see well-trained, right and several friends who are well-trained theologically grounded have experience. They're not just 21 year olds who don't want to go to Seminary and they don't want to serve in an established routeSo there go plan to truly, you know, when you have well qualified trained individuals who are saying hey, let's go together. And let's go plant a church as a team. The thing that we need to solve is K 5 10 years ago. Did you get an education that was employable outside of the church? Yes, rightAnd I think if that is solved if that is salt and I think in the next 5-10 years anyone who's receiving a call to Ministry, they understand that okay. [00:41:00] Okay, is this degree? The one that's going to help flow or do I need to get another one first if that is solved I think we're going to see more of that the other thing though Clint so I have a book coming outMy next book is coming out in February and it's called you are what you do and six other lies about work life and love now. The reason I'm bringing this up is the seven lies that I talk about in the book our bait have basically written it risen to the surface because of the gig economy. Because of the the prevalence of the side hustle, so if you think about America, right just for example how like Amazon Prime just think of America and Amazon Prime like who doesn't have Amazon Prime, you know, it's just like it's really hard to youJust assume. Everyone has Amazon Prime and the reason is because half of America has Amazon Prime and the other half is probably using their moms. Clint Clifton: Somebody Amazon, right? Daniel Im: Yeah. Yeah, but half of America has Amazon Prime. So now think about that if half of America, right [00:42:00] 50% of America has this and we think everyone has it the gig economy people having a side hustle doing multiple jobsThat's almost at forty percent of America. Clint Clifton: Yeah. Daniel Im: Right. So if that's the case and if that's how normal it's become right, I mean I just I basically talked about these seven lies that have risen to the surface because of that but prevalent, you know relevant to our conversation is I actually thinkThat because of the rising side hustle in the gig economy. We are probably closer to a team model of planting than we might realize. Clint Clifton: Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I mean, I didn't know all that about the gig economy that you just said, I mean, but I definitely have seen the rise of a sudden decide household for sure and even in you know in my church and in the church Landing world, even in the military, I mean we’re Marines you who you think of it as more full-time than a marine, right? Yeah, I mean, but but these [00:43:00] guys are side hustling as well. You know, I mean, it's just normal, it's normal. It's totally normal and it does it does play a lot into especially especially in the age bracket that a lot of the guys in our church render in that lightAge bracket where there may be good enough at their side hustle that they're making substantial money on it, but they're not so good that it matches what they're making in their other job and their real job. So they're on the fence of like they're maxed out first of all their back style, but they're on the fence of should I should I just take the plunge and do this full time and they're scared to deathTo do that, you know because of all kinds of reasons. So Daniel Im: yeah and honestly Clint this is I would love to see this right and maybe some of your listeners are going to maybe God is already stirring in their hearts to do team model of ministry, right and and maybe this will spark something but I would honestly whether you have you know, a trade ticket or an employable skill or not, or maybe you just have a seminary degree or a bible college degree, right and you are moving forward and [00:44:00] you feel cold to plant if you got if you and three or four other friends, let's sayAll of you are theologically trained and feel called to plant right if you and three other friends, let's say for just to make a good good number four of you want to go plan to church right and you can find someone who can fund one full-time position. Then what I'd encourage you all to do is every one of you Uber 20 hours a weekHmm Uber 20 hours a week and each of you take 25% of that a hundred percent salary. Yeah and go and do it. Clint Clifton: Yeah. Yeah, you're totally right and their churches it's funny because at NAMM specifically there are churches try and dams on The Cutting Edge of church planting. Oh, yeah if there is a Cutting Edge in Turf Landing, right so names names has advanced as anybody but when we've got guys coming to our assessment saying describing what you just described. Okay. Hey, this is how we're planting our church and Nom Noms like you like Springs pop out of our ears. We don't know how to [00:45:00] compute that like, what do what do we do with that? We don't know where's this guy fit and it's like we have these very we built these systems around the singular Church planter and for years, they've been talking about specifically an assessment and they've been talking aboutOkay. Can we assess teams or can we assess pass? All pairs or pastoral partners and then ultimately like philosophically were I guess yes. Yes we can but then practically speaking the system isn't built for it. So it's all clumpy and it doesn't work right, you know, so so yeah, man what you're saying is so so true and if there's anything that I feel like is the way things areIt is I mean it start you see little glimmers of it even in the large church. It's like the teaching teams becoming the prevalent and so the congregations are becoming more accustomed to a rotating teaching team. I think the you know, every time a pastor Falls to a moral failure and a church collapses or some kind of [00:46:00] other failure integers collapsesEverybody goes woo, we better not have one guy in charge. Yes. That's that's bad. You know, and so all that stuff is contributing to the what I hope is God at work to make Church Plant a little church planting a normal part of the Christian Life and yeah and and are in our nation's. Daniel Im: Yeah. That's that that idea of a Permenter Church planter or Superman Pastor. I mean, that's just that's all hubris. Right, that's all just getting to your head and it's and part of it is the American obsession with celebrities. Yeah that as seeped into the church. Which Eugene Peterson anything he writes. I mean, the guy is antithetic, you know, he is so anti thatYeah, and because it's like well, what does it look like to be present? What is it look like to not be disembodied but embodied where you're at, so. Yeah, I'm really encouraged by how that's going. I mean even just practically speaking my years in Nashville. I was a teaching pastor at my churchThere's no [00:47:00] senior pastor at our church. Yeah, we had campus pastors who led locally their staff. We had a few of us who were teaching pastors who would teach at both campuses, but there was no single point of leadership now having been in it and having had worked in it for about four years. It's greatIt's really really great the downside is it slow? Yeah, right. So I worked with the elders for a year to develop the set of core values for our church a year. Write a took a year for most other churches. It would have taken two three four months out of Max. Clint Clifton: Yeah, right. Yeah, I think yeah, I think you're you're like really onto something the more the harder the higher you put the authority like as the pyramid goes up and comes to a peak the higher you put the authority the more unstable over it is, you know, it's so so when you push that Authority down its kind of balanced out or leveled out over a group of people is that the churches are more likely to be [00:48:00] like kind of rooted but they're also not very agile. And yeah, it's interesting. I planted pillar and we have very much a team approachWe've always shared the pulpit with a bunch of bunch of different guys, even from the very beginning of the church. We have a big eldership and. And deep bench of leaders basically always doing leadership result. And that's a really good. It's created a really healthy culture at the church, you know one leader doing some stupid or screwing up is not going to not going to really significantly mess it up, but on the other hand, I went about five years ago and started working with McLain BobAnd those guys are so agile if for such a big church, it's amazing because all the decision making is is in one room essentially like I mean you they can get they can get together in the afternoon and decide they're going to do something simple minute tomorrow morning. Yeah, and to me that sounds scary and like because I've been in this environment where you know, I get indigestion sometimes and have an idea and I want to implement itSo I just I don't trust my own [00:49:00] decision making on stop until it's like borne out with other leaders in our church. But yeah, anyway, we got off track a little bit but I think I think the point is that that's an area that's in development and I see I feel like it's growing a lot and developing a lot.Daniel Im: Yeah. No, I'm excited about what's going to come.Clint Clifton: Yeah, me too. Well Daniel, it's been really kind of you spent so much time with us. I know you're I know you're ramping up for big things in your life right now. So just thank you so much for for hanging out with me for a little bit today.

Daniel Im's book, No Silver Bullets, was born out of years of work in the church struggling to help Christians become more mature disciples. He learned that there isn't just one thing that will magically make us more mature. But when he starting looking at the research, he did find that there are 5 micro shifts we can make that lead to profound change in our churches and in our lives.

A silver bullet that would guarantee that everyone in your church would be in a biblical Acts 2 kind of small group where people would grow to love God deeply, where lives would be radically transformed, the marginalized would be served, and non-Christians all around them would come to faith in Christ every day?  As anyone who has been in ministry for longer than a day knows, there are no quick fixes. In fact, Daniel wrote a terrific new book called, “No Silver Bullets” which lays out 5 microshifts that can produce macro changes, lasting movement in the right direction for your groups ministry and church.

So often, we look to the newest business model or successful ministry for a solution to our challenges. But what if we really just need a shift in perspective? This week, Daniel Im joins me to share from his new book, No Silver Bullets, five small shifts that will transform your ministry. As you listen to this interview, I think you'll find that what he shares applies to those of us who work in the marketplace as well.

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Daniel Im discuss Daniel’s new book No Silver Bullets: Five Small Shifts that Will Transform Your Ministry. During their conversation, they answer the following questions. What does it mean to shift from destination to direction in discipleship? How do you move from output goals to input goals? What does it look like to move from a sage to a guide? How do you move from form to function? How do you move from maturity to mission? BEST QUOTES “We lead the way we have been led unless we consciously do otherwise.” “Just because you set up output goals that doesn’t actually mean you are going to get there.” “The more an individual confesses their sins, the more likely they are to share their faith.” “There is a different between faithfulness and fruitfulness. We can plant and we can water, but we can’t cause ourselves to grow.” “Everything that you do as a church really fits into your leadership pipeline or your discipleship pathway.” “It’s all about moving from the sage on the stage to the guide on the side.” “We are all supposed to mature and multiply wherever we are.” RECOMMENDED RESOURCES No Silver Bullets by Daniel Im Audits from No Silver Bullets  NewChurches.com 4 Disciplines of Execution by Chris McChesney Transformational Discipleship Assessment  Flipping the Classroom by Daniel Im Designed to Lead by Eric Geiger and Kevin Peck MinistryGrid.com/comingsoon

Our newest ThoughtWorks podcast is a thought provoking discussion between Sam Newman, consultant, and Erik Doernenburg, head of technology, ThoughtWorks Europe, in which they contemplate the advantages and disadvantages of microservices and cloud computing. During the conversation, Erik advises listeners that the focus should be on the implementation of the actual services and not on the "glue" in between the services. Sam offers up an analogy, saying implementing an architecture based on microservices is like working with marble. You must chip away gradually. “It’s an incremental thing, not an upfront exercise,” he says.
