You can flee from your kids all you want, but you are still dad. You occupy a space in their hearts that no one else can take. No one else can have. I'm a father. I will stay a father. We have a fatherhood pledge in our classes, that's one of the lines we have the men stand up and say out loud, I'm a dad, I'll stay dad and I will be a dad to my children."   Links from Today's Conversation   Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome Apply to join the next DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort: Email awesome@dadawesome.org   Subscribe to DadAwesome Messages: Text the word “Dad” to (651) 370-8618 Spokane Fatherhood Initiative The Externally Focused Church by Rick Rusaw and Eric Swanson   Connect with dadAWESOME   Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team Receive weekly encouragement by texting "dad" to 651-370-8618

The idea of Church as Platform has been resonating for a while here at The Church Digital. Through recent blogs & podcasts we've been unpacking this idea of the church (not providing a service, but instead finding success in empowering others to do ministry). It's not about our organizations reaching people, but about our organizations training disciple-makers to reach people. Today on the podcast we're bringing in Rick Rusaw, former Lead Pastor at LifeBridge and one of the early innovators in this idea of Church as Platform. Rick gives some of the history, some of the backstory, behind the idea of Church as Platform.

In this episode of The Church Planting Podcast, Greg talks with Rick Rusaw, leader of the Spire Network, about the important reasons the church needs to begin viewing itself as a platform.

What role can data play in the Church? We invited a panel of leaders from organizations like Gloo, Cinnamon Network, and The Center for Emotional Development, to sit down with our Exec. Director Adam Durso and unpack how we can use metrics to reach our communities. Listen as Tim Popadic, Bruce Barker, Rupert A. Hayles, Jr. and Pastor Rick Rusaw share from their experiences in ministry on the latest Leading in the City episode.

Today, our guest speaker is Rick Rusaw chief executive officer of spire network.Pastor Rick will be talking about the pain we go through in this life at times. The truth is we need healing from the pain, but first we have to go to Jesus and ask for that change. Our scripture text comes from John Chapter 5 starting in verse 1

In this interview, Todd talks with former Lifebridge Church pastor Rick Rusaw and Tim Foot of Slingshot Group about their 17 years of ministry together as lead pastor and worship pastor. They explore the concept of building the relational trust needed to work together as a unified team.

A portion of the message features an audio clip from the DVD, The Neighboring Life by Rick Rusaw and Brian Mavis

Based from the implications of the Greatest Commandment, this series is inspired by the book of the same title, The Neighboring Life by Rick Rusaw, Brian Mavis, Kvin Colon and Krista Petty. This also greatly compliments our mission of helping our neighbors find their way back to God. There is a part of the message that has an audio excerpt from The Neighboring Life DVD.

Learn from experienced practitioners about the importance of rediscovering the Great Commandments to love God and your neighbors, some of the blessings, and the challenges and ways to overcome those obstacles.Rick Rusaw is the Lead Pastor at LifeBridge Church in Longmont, Colo. During his leadership, LifeBridge has become a strong community partner both locally and globally to provide mentoring for at-risk kids, foster care, and serving opportunities. These partnerships have increased community engagement and grown the church to more than 3,500 in attendance. Through his experiences, Rick has been led to assist churches and denominations worldwide develop an external focus for their church. These opportunities have allowed him to author several books along that theme, including Externally Focused Church, and The Neighboring Church.

Kristin Schell, (author of the Turquoise Table) and Rick Rusaw and Brain Mavis (authors of The Neighboring Church) give us insight into what it really means to live out Jesus’ great commandment to “Love your neighbor as yourself,” with practical and life-changing ways we can create community where we live and expand God’s kingdom from our own front yards.

What if the Church got better at the two things Jesus said mattered most? If the Church is going to thrive in this changing world a pivotal thing is going to be being a good neighbor. Rick Rusaw and Lifebridge Christian Church have been on a journey to love God better through actually loving their literal neighbors. Rick gives some practical advice on how churches can better equip congregations to get to know and love the people they live near.

How could you structure church so that at then end of the year, every person had a story to tell of how, in ways great or small, he or she changed the world for someone? Discover how to mobilize your people to live the Great Commandment in everyday ways.

In this 2012 Exponential podcast, Brian Mavis, Eric Swanson and, Rick Rusaw speak about how to partner with your community and get the most out of your assets. Single parents, the hungry, at-risk kids, the homeless, the elderly, the poor, foster kids, the sick, public servants, schools, and more. There are so many people and places where your church can get involved. How do you know where to start and focus your efforts? Furthermore, should you create a new program or should you partner with someone in the community? Discover how to match your church's giftedness with your community's needs and assets. Additionally, All leaders have at their disposal the same missional resources to accomplish their mission. How could you be entrepreneurial by repurposing how you use those resources to become the best church for your community? Think about what you need to do to shift each of the six resources-people, facilities, prayer, finances, technology, and time-to higher productivity and greater yield.

In this 2012 Exponential podcast, Brian Mavis, Eric Swanson and, Rick Rusaw speak about how to make a church that the community values. Thousands of churches will close their doors this year in America. Many churches will not close, but they aren't making a difference. The guiding question of Externally Focused Churches is "If my church vanished, would my community care?" Unfortunately, for most churches the answer is "No." Oh sure, the people who attend those churches would care. But the city leaders wouldn't care. The schools wouldn't care. The business leaders and the community's non-profit agencies wouldn't care. The public and the down-and-out wouldn't care. The least and the lost wouldn't care. Learn what went wrong and what it will take to be a church that the community cares about.

In this Exponential 2011 podcast, Rick Rusaw explains how all around the world, churches have been shifting from being internally focused to being externally focused. This workshop will focus on the best practices and practical ideas that have shaped this movement of community transformation.
