Blogging continues to be a great way to get your message out to a wider audience. David gives some great advice for both new and old bloggers. He has almost seven years of consistently posting new content several times a week. Should you start a blog?

David and Annie served as missionaries in Brazil from 2012 until 2017. David was the Executive Pastor at C3 Church Curitiba. He also worked closely with the other two C3 Churches in Brazil. In this episode, he shares a few of the things he learned from serving as a pastor in another country.

In the last several episodes, we have talked about the three P's: People, Process, and Product. Every area of our church or business can be evaluated through one of these filters. Today, David gives some helpful tips for putting it all together.

In the previous two episodes, we talked about People and Processes. The third important ingredient to building a great church is our Product. What is it that we are offering? In reality, most churches offer very similar things. If that is the case, why is that some churches are thriving and others are not?

How are your processes and systems working? As Andy Stanley says, "Our results are directly related to our systems." In other words, we are getting the exact results that our processes are designed for. So, if we are not happy with our results, what can we do to create better systems?

For any leader, in any kind of organization, our people are our greatest resource. In this episode, David talks about creating a great team that will help us build a great church. In the church, everything that we do revolves around people. This is the first of three special episodes.
