In this episode, I interview Tony Morgan, founder of The Unstuck Group. This organization works with churches through coaching and consulting to help them get unstuck. Tony recently released a new book called The Unstuck Church that looks at the life cycle churches go through. We talk about this life cycle in terms of family ministry, how to figure out where your ministry is, and what you need to do to either maximize your current season or get out of it.

Mastermind Groups (Oct-Apr)
Mastermind groups for ministry leaders are launching this October! A mastermind group is a group of leaders, who serve in a similar context, and come together to: help each other grow, challenge each other, share resources, and offer accountability. Every month, your group will have a 90-minute video call where you share what's going well, and the challenges and barriers you are facing. You will also have access to a private Facebook group, two opportunities for 1-on-1 coaching with your host, and several bonus resources, including FREE access to the Volunteer Playbook Group.
Details: Oct-Apr, $400 | Click here for more info and to apply.
Volunteer Playbook Group
This is a brand new group, designed to help you recruit volunteers and create a great volunteer culture. You'll spend ten weeks building your volunteer culture from the ground up, clarifying the vision of your ministry, learning how to build your team, and finishing with how to grow your team.
Details: Oct 2-Dec 4, $200 | Click here for more info and to apply.

Next Episode: Jessica Bealer
In next week's episode, I talk with Jessica Bealer. Jessica and I have a great conversation about multisite kidmin–what children's ministry looks like in a multisite context, from great principles to specific, helpful practices. Whether you serve at a multisite church, or in kidmin or youth ministry, there are a ton of great principles and resources you can apply to your ministry. We'll also be announcing a new FREE resource that shares what a bunch of other churches are doing for first time families.
