  • The Community Expert: Discovering the Open Doors in Your Community
    May 22 2026

    Today, we’re talking about Discovering Needs. Not the needs we assume people have, but the actual heart-cries of your specific community. Why? Because as pastors we are called to fulfill the Great Commission, and that means that we are called to be experts in the Word of God, but we are also called to be experts in the People of God—and that includes the people living in the three-mile radius around your steeple.

    Today, I’m giving you that panel. We are diving into the Church Health Snapshot. It’s the diagnostic tool that moves us from guessing to growing.

    But here is the truth for most of us listening: Defining reality is the hardest part of the job because we are exhausted. We are gospel bearers, but we are often also the 'chief firefighters' of our churches. And you cannot offer a hopeful future if you are too busy or too tired to see the truth about your current reality.
