A lot of the folks in my circles tend to be leaders. Oftentimes Lead Pastors, Executive Pastors and Communication Directors. And some of these leaders have huge hearts to help others—and others really need to know about it. So if you haven’t already heard of unSeminary, this is a resource you definitely want to check out.

Founded by Rich Birch, Operations Pastor at Liquid Church, (and all around great guy) he offers up some great, practical resources to guide your church communications. Here’s a highlight reel of some of the goodies you’ll find:

I honestly haven’t come across another one-stop-shop that offers so much free, quality stuff as unSeminary. Rich was a fellow speaker at Collyde last year when we first met, and he did a great job of helping me keep the crazy at bay before my session started. He’s continued to impress me ever since.

** Side note ** This is not an endorsed post. unSeminary is just a great resource and the world will be a better place if others know about it. 

Collyde One Day Q&A with Tim Stevens

I had so much fun at this event. Last year, I had the privilege of speaking at Collyde Summit with some fantastic folks & this year they experimented with a more intimate environment that was just one day. Class sizes were smaller and sessions were repeated so everyone had a chance to experience them all.

The clip above is a Q&A I did with Tim Stevens and we had some great conversations about:

  • How churches can connect with more volunteers
  • Tips to communicate change
  • Ideas for attracting younger people to the church without seniors feeling irrelevant
  • What to do when a team member needs to be let go

Enjoy!

Ps: Collyde Summit 2015 is happening again on the east coast this September 18-19th. Speakers include Pete Wilson, Jenni Catron, Todd Wagner & others. More info & tickets can be found here
