After almost 30 years of pastoring and training leaders I’ve identified my top leadership training lessons and have put them together into one convenient package. You have in your hands 13 lessons that you could use with almost no prep-time on your part.

The group discussion questions included in each teaching insure a lively interaction between you and your leaders drawing out of them additional insight and ideas. Although this series is “ready to go” you will want to add your own touch to each lesson making it even more personal and applicable to your team and church. (PDF)

After almost 30 years of pastoring and now 11 years into coaching full-time, one of my observations has been that there is a great lack of training materials specifically designed for church boards. Whether you call your “board” a board, a pastoral team, a board of directors, an elders board, a session, or counsel, my “church board training modules” were designed specifically for you and your board.


Each of the modules focus on the most practical topics that a pastor and his team have to deal with as a board. I have condensed each module so that they can easily fit into a one hour conference call. Each module costs only $60, making it affordable for any size church.

You are responsible for arranging the conference call and any 
costs associated with it. After the call you will be sent my module notes to refer to, and pass on to your team should you desire.

I've spoken to hundreds of pastors since Small Church Pastor began at the end of 2006. Recently more and more have expressed an interest in developing their own skills in coaching. Because of this I've narrowed all of the essentials of coaching down to four one hour phone sessions.

Whether you're interested in coaching as a pastoral skill or a possible vocation, this four hour course will give you all you need to get started.

With COACH! you will learn:

• How coaching is different from discipleship, pastoring, therapy, mentoring, consulting, pastoral counseling, teaching, and spiritual direction.
  
• Why coaching is so powerful in bringing about change in others.
  
• How to listen effectively.
  
• How to ask great questions.
  
• A systematic method of taking people from where they are to where they want to be.
  
• How to get started in a coaching ministry or vocation.

Especially designed for one-on-one discipleship, a mens' group, a men's retreat. (Word doc.)

Five lessons cover:

• Becoming a man of prayer
• Becoming a man of the word
  
• Becoming a man of humility
  
• Becoming a man of ministry
  
• Becoming a man who honors women
