Hey church leader! 

Every first responder knows this, but do you? 

1. Stay Calm - Slow down and calm down
2. Identify the issue - discover and diagnose the problem
3. Remain professional - keep focused and keep moving toward the solution. 
4. Give clear directions for what’s next. 

Apply these simple things to your next real time issue and I promise you will come out on top.

Here a few quick ways you can do that. 

Let me know some of the things you do to fall in love with Sundays again.

“What a rough crowd this morning” 

Most of us are guilty of this saying. I know I am. Time and time again. Here is a quick recap of the previous podcast called "It Was a Rough Crowd This Morning".

When I said it the most these reasons and really excuses were typically why my attitude might have been off.

Real Estate is expensive! In our weekend programming every second is considered prime real estate! 

Every second matters! Don’t throw away anything, there’s no such thing as a “throw away element”. Take this term out of your planning vocabulary. 

Start this week, get it done!
