I have a few openings this week for Strategy Briefings for men who want to get clear on what’s next in their life, work, or ministry.

30 minutes. Real conversation. No pressure, no pitch. Clarity and direction for your next step.

If that sounds like something you need, grab a time here:

This 30-minute session is designed to give immediate value and clear direction. For coaching clients, it serves as the first step into a transformational journey. For churches and teams, it provides a roadmap for the right training and strategies to equip your front line for Kingdom Impact.

Regarding the latest church attack, I saw a report that said it took 8 Minutes to neutralize the subject.

8 Minutes.

Though 8 minutes is somewhat around the general time of an initial arrival from Law Enforcement when it comes to church attacks, the emhasis here is…that is 8 Minutes of an assailant walking around your church taking loved ones away from spouses, parents, and children-destroying families in your congregation. Sure, as Believers in Jesus, we don’t operate out of fear, we know this isn’t the end, but the physical impact is still there.

Church Leaders:

You have a responsibility…a duty…to your congregation to implement proper measures to protect your congregation.

I want to make a request for the church decision makers:

Today/during this week, when various events and gatherings are going on, and then again this Sunday during services…I want you to show up at your church. Head out to your Parking lot. Take out a phone/smart watch and set a timer for 8 Minutes. From beginning to end of those 8 minutes, walk from parking lot to the main entrances. Walk through the lobby, walk up and down the aisles of the auditorium/worship center-service permitting. Walk through the hallways, walk in the Nursery and Children’s Wing. I want you to look at those faces of the congregants. Faces of families who are under the impression you have established adequate safety measures.

During those 8 Minutes, how many people are being killed or crying out for help as they’re actively dying. How easy is it for the subject to walk from the parking lot to inside or through that building? How many different times and locations while you were walking through your property could this potential subject have been seen, engaged, or stopped if only you had implemented observant Frontline Servants to be positioned in key areas? What doors need to be locked or upgraded?

Church Leaders, remove your ego, your arrogance, and short sightedness when it comes to this topic of Church Safety Ministries. Implement these brave individuals in your church. Equip them to serve your church…Physically but also Spiritually. Speak life into them to be Kingdom Gatekeepers-the Peacemakers of your church community.

If you are not willing to do that, remove yourself from leadership with that church.

It’s a bold approach by the pastor of this church in Florida. I like it.

Recently, I heard an alarming stat regarding Christian Church Leaders…less than 40% of Pastors and less than 32% of Youth Pastors believe and hold to a Biblical worldview. And it wasn’t even regarding controversial topics, just foundational Biblical principles.

We all need to look at our local church and make sure they’re holding to God’s truth and are not afraid to offend the current culture. I see too many churches swaying…being Cultural Thermometers-merely reflecting the secular worldview.

And as much as the following statement applies to the Frontline Peacemakers of our local churches, the church itself must be this:

We need to be Kingdom Thermostats in a world of cultural thermometers.
