Free Lessons from Compassionate Guides

Here, we share key lessons that we’ve crafted over the decades of growing churches and putting systems and processes in place to help church leaders like you fuel missions with data AND discernment.

Square Watermelons and Growing Your Church

Like square watermelons, we are shaped by our environments. As church leaders, we even become square watermelons ourselves.

In this lesson, you’ll start to see how your environment is shaping you and how to be your authentic self while you help people know Jesus. 

Your Church’s Numbers Deserve a Seat at the Table

That “data” word can bring up a lot of questions, emotions and even fears for church leaders. Where do we start? What information is relevant to my church? What will the data reveal?

In this lesson, you’ll learn how decision-making is fueled by BOTH data AND discernment.

Crop Duster Planes, Jumbo Jets, and Your Church

Trusting your gut served you when you started out as pastor, and it still can. But as you move into a new season of leading your church, one with more souls and complexities, you need a more thorough understanding of (and trust in) your instruments. 

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to use systems and processes to fuel growth and follow your mission.

Capture your thoughts and be curious. The 153 Effect Workbook 1.0 supports the all of the lessons.
