Your daily catch-up on what matters in church leadership.

Today's Topics:

• Protecting Worship Services: Multiple state legislatures are moving to toughen legal penalties for disrupting church services, following a protest at a Minnesota church. Is your church prepared legally?
• Daystar Family Rift: The memorial service for Joni Lamb drew significant tributes — but her son Jonathan's absence signals a visible family dispute over control of the network she built. A powerful reminder about succession planning.
• Churches & AI: Can churches approach AI more thoughtfully than they approached social media? Most church teams use AI tools but few have defined their posture on it.
• Bright Spot: A small West Texas church went from 5 baptisms/year to 20+ after their pastor got serious about vision clarity.

Takeaway: Does your organization have a documented succession plan — not "we'd figure it out" but an actual written plan? If not, that's your next important leadership conversation.
