So how do you keep yourself focused? The basic elements of my approach to ministry productivity are two systems; working and keeping. Let's get into a basic approach to them.  Work With Chad https://bit.ly/CoachingWithChad Listen and Subscribe to Productive Pastor on iTunes | https://bit.ly/ProductivePastor Productive Pastor on Spotify | https://spoti.fi/3oIT5gf Chad on YouTube | https://bit.ly/RevChadBrooksYouTube Productive Pastor Email List | https://bit.ly/PPemailList The 5/15 | https://bit.ly/The515email

Hey Friends -  Last episode was the What and Why of Assimilation systems. And if I'm honest, I think I left you hanging. As I prep out for the future Trello course, I went into the archives to find this old interview from back in 2017 of the assimilation system we built out at a previous church...and it is gold. Rather than put this behind a paywall, I want to share it with you!  Work With Chad https://bit.ly/CoachingWithChad Listen and Subscribe to Productive Pastor on iTunes | https://bit.ly/ProductivePastor Productive Pastor on Spotify | https://spoti.fi/3oIT5gf Chad on YouTube | https://bit.ly/RevChadBrooksYouTube Productive Pastor Email List | https://bit.ly/PPemailList The 5/15 | https://bit.ly/The515email

So how do you specifically use a pathway to grow folks in a certain way? In this 2nd part of this episode, we dig into one specific idea of how pathways are part of a church's missional culture by building one out. And I will be honest with you, I threw Fernie one here and he did not disappoint!!! Fernie went the opposite of what I normally would do, and actually ended up building out a pathway I wish I would have had years ago.  Work With Chad https://bit.ly/CoachingWithChad Listen and Subscribe to Productive Pastor on iTunes | https://bit.ly/ProductivePastor Productive Pastor on Spotify | https://spoti.fi/3oIT5gf Chad on YouTube | https://bit.ly/RevChadBrooksYouTube Productive Pastor Email List | https://bit.ly/PPemailList The 5/15 | https://bit.ly/The515email

What does it mean to develop people into better disciples or leaders? To be honest, that question frightens me. So I turn to my buddy Fernie Rivera to talk about development pathways and how to use them in the local church.  Show Notes | https://bit.ly/prodpastor57 Work With Chad https://bit.ly/CoachingWithChad Listen and Subscribe to Productive Pastor on iTunes | https://bit.ly/ProductivePastor Productive Pastor on Spotify | https://spoti.fi/3oIT5gf Chad on YouTube | https://bit.ly/RevChadBrooksYouTube Productive Pastor Email List | https://bit.ly/PPemailList The 5/15 | https://bit.ly/The515email

Decision making is huge!!! But how do we handle decisions when times are chaotic and the things we choose are absolutely critical? In this episode, we dig into what we can do know to know who we (or our churches) are first. Then we talk through some planning strategies to navigate the decisions we make while living in chaos.  Work With Chad https://bit.ly/CoachingWithChad Listen and Subscribe to Productive Pastor on iTunes | https://bit.ly/ProductivePastor Productive Pastor on Spotify | https://spoti.fi/3oIT5gf Chad on YouTube | https://bit.ly/RevChadBrooksYouTube Productive Pastor Email List | https://bit.ly/PPemailList The 5/15 | https://bit.ly/The515email

Are you at the end of the rope? Overwhelmed and unsure what to do next? A one hour reset can do a world of good in clearing your head and gaining focus. You might not need each part of it, but there might also be a bit of gold in one of these exercises.  Work With Chad https://bit.ly/CoachingWithChad Listen and Subscribe to Productive Pastor on iTunes | https://bit.ly/ProductivePastor Productive Pastor on Spotify | https://spoti.fi/3oIT5gf Chad on YouTube | https://bit.ly/RevChadBrooksYouTube Productive Pastor Email List | https://bit.ly/PPemailList The 5/15 | https://bit.ly/The515email

Over the last few months I have gone DEEP into research and conversation with folks about the relationships of church size culture and mission in our current moment. Rev. Ben Gosden reached out to have me on his podcast, Faith Revisited. We get into an extended talk about the idea of church size culture, my research on church sizes, and some of the leadership challenges we face currently.  Work With Chad https://bit.ly/CoachingWithChad Listen and Subscribe to Productive Pastor on iTunes | https://bit.ly/ProductivePastor Productive Pastor on Spotify | https://spoti.fi/3oIT5gf Chad on YouTube | https://bit.ly/RevChadBrooksYouTube Productive Pastor Email List | https://bit.ly/PPemailList The 5/15 | https://bit.ly/The515email
