Authenticity - Who even are you? | #007
In this episode, Dave and Rick dive deep into the concept of authenticity and ask the question, is authenticity important or is it just a cop-out?
In light of the transformation that God is doing, which version me even IS the 'authentic self'?
This episode offers valuable perspectives that you won't want to miss. -

Top Ten Fails | #004
Every failure or mistake in church leadership is UNIVERSAL; We've all made them, or we're all about to... so let's learn from each other!

7 Year Cycles | #003
Warning: It's confession time for Dave...
Rick & Dave introduce a seven year cycle theory that follows the life of a church form when a church is planted, or gets a new pastor.
There's the EXPERIMENTAL stage, the EMPOWERMENT stage, the INDUSTRIAL stage and finally the INFLUENTIAL stage.
Join the boys as they follow this thought right through to the live example in Life Church where Rick is pastoring right now.
