Reason #3: Equipping Interview Call 

The week following our leadership call, I do a second call where I interview other leading authors and go in-depth on the topic of their latest book, their background, and insights and tips for pastors and churches.  These are VIP Equipping Conference calls and are absolutely FREE for you as part of The Renegade Pastors Network.

PLUS, don’t worry if you can’t make the live call. You’ll receive MP3 and CD recordings of the complete call, as well as a full transcript of the interview in your monthly bonus kit (a $49.95 value!).

Past interviews include:

Patrick Lencioni- an expert on business organization and is a committed Christian. He is also the author of The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else In Business, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable, and Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Field Guide for Leaders, Managers, and Facilitator.  In our interview, he shared specific steps you can take to lead a healthy staff and church.

Steve Stroope- Senior Pastor of Lakepointe Church with over 14,000 people in attendance in multiple locations across Dallas, Texas.  He is also the author of Money Matters in Church: A Practical Guide for Leaders, It Starts at Home: A Practical Guide to Nurturing Lifelong Faith, and his newest release – Tribal Church: Lead Small, Impact Big.

Gary McIntosh- author of There’s Hope For Your Church: First Steps to Restoring Health and Growth, What Every Pastor Should Know: 101 Indispensable Rules of Thumb for Leading Your Church, and Taking Your Church to the Next Level: What Got You Here Won’t Get You There. Gary is the president of McIntosh Church Growth Network and Professor of Christian Ministry and Leadership at the Talbot School of Theology at Biola University in La Mirada, CA. He leads seminars, serves as a consultant, and has written over twenty books.

Tim Stevens- author of Vision: Lost and Found: The Story Of A Church That Got Stuck but Didn’t Stay There, Simply Strategic Growth: Attracting a Crowd to Your Church, and Simply Strategic Volunteers: Empowering People for Ministry. Tim has been a pastor on staff at Granger Community Church since 1994.  In this interview, Tim brings a unique “inside look” at the ups and downs of that influential church, and the lessons that you can learn and apply to your own ministry context.

Bill Easum– author of Effective Staffing For Vital Church Churches, The Church Growth Handbook, and Winning On Purpose: How To Organize Congregations to Succeed in Their Mission. Bill started 21st Century Strategies in 1987 while still a pastor of the church he restarted in 1969 and led to become one of the first large churches in the Southwest. He’s the author or co-author of more than twenty books, and has personally worked to grow more than seven hundred congregations.

Larry Osborne- author of six books on leadership and spiritual formation including Accidental Pharisees: Avoiding Pride, Exclusivity, and the Other Dangers of Overzealous Faith and Sticky Teams: Keeping Your Leadership Team and Staff on the Same Page. He’s been the Senior Pastor of North Coast Church in Vista, California, since 1980, and is a sought-after speaker and leadership mentor. He spoke on how we can avoid becoming “accidental Pharisees” and lead the people of our church to do the same.
