WEBINARS

Over the last year David Putman has been working on a simple discipleship process that started out with his family and has already expanded to dozens of Micro-Groups across the country! Join David Putman and Matt Peeples as they share their pandemic disciple-making experiences and strategies during a season full of ministry obstacles.

What would it look like if the Church met people where they were instead of asking them to come to the Church? Join our conversation with the FiveTwo Network, La Mesa Ministries, and Elli's House 313 about sustainable start-ups that reach people for Jesus.

Over the past 30 years Mac Lake has had the privilege of serving in various ministry roles (from youth pastor to leadership development pastor) as well as various consulting and strategic roles related to building up leaders for church plants.

Feeling stuck as a leader? Mac's been in similar positions. That's why he developed the 8 Spheres of Leadership - a tool designed to help you lead with direction in an age of distraction.

Watch as Mac Lake shares the incredible tool along with other insights gained from years of experience.

KC Underground describes themselves as an innovative yet ancient form of church pursuing Jesus’ mission in Kansas City. They exist to inspire, engage, connect, equip and empower ordinary people to flourish. Their goal is simple: to create a network of reproducing disciples, leaders, micro-churches, and congregations that will saturate Kansas City with the good news, justice and beauty. The name is a tribute to the underground church of history, characterized by sacrificial faith in the face of danger, oppression, and even death.

In this webinar we talk to Rob Wegner and Brian Johnson to hear more of KC Undergrounds story and explore a different model for being the Church in the 21st Century.

They range in age from 4 to 24 and are 68 million strong in the US, but what do most of us really know about the up and coming generation we know as Gen Z? What do we as ministry leaders need to know about discipling and passing on the faith to the next generation?

We dig into a conversation with Dr. Jacob Youmans and Heath Lewis about Gen Z and how we as the Church can best disciple the next generation and help them build a faith that lasts a lifetime. 

Your church can thrive in spite of the uncertain season we are in. In this webinar, David Putman will give us a simple way forward where you can experience a disciple-making movement regardless of your churches size. In this webinar you will discover:

1. Two simple disciple-making rhythms
2. Five principles that lead to rapid reproduction
3. A simple non-program approach to disciple-making that anyone can lead
4. Five different types of disciples

For so many leaders in the church, the call to discipleship is obvious, but the tools for discipleship seem unclear. How can we move from an understanding of the importance of discipleship to an ability to make disciples? In this follow up webinar we are going to dig into some tangible tools and processes people use for discipleship. Our goal is to help you move past the theory of discipleship and help you learn how to develop your own discipleship process.

In times of crisis, people look to the church and the leaders within the church to guide them through difficult times. But how can the church be present when loving your neighbor means staying away from your neighbor? In a time of social distancing, how can we deliver the spiritual care people are looking for while still respecting our communities and doing our part to flatten the curve?

Overnight the task of preaching changed radically. We went from preaching to live congregation to preaching to a livestream camera. The only thing that hasn't changed is the importance of preaching the gospel. But the age we are preaching in is nothing most preachers prepared for. So how does the task of preaching change when you when the congregation is on the other side of a livestream camera?

We are living in a new reality where the church can't gather. That new reality took place around the biggest worship service of the year, Easter! So how can we as a church celebrate the reality of the resurrection with people during a time when that message is desperately needed?! Just because our usual methods won't work, doesn't mean there are no good options.

Join us for a panel discussion with some great outside the box church leaders as we discuss how we can make this a great Easter experience for those in and out of the church, even though they can't gather in the church.

The Story of LakePointe is one of a church that has taken the Gospel to dark and hard to reach places. Before the church even launched, their first event was building a float in the St. Patrick's Day Parade. They were the only church present at the event.

Since then they have become a church with a vibrant recovery ministry, a women's home that helps women transitioning out of rehab and prison, a massive stomp out hunger campaign, and they've baptized around 1,000 people along the way. Join us as founding/lead pastor Greg Bearss shares the keys to being a church that goes to the hard to reach people in the hard to reach places.

Are you tired of waiting for leaders to come out to your church? What if they are already there, they are just waiting to be developed.  Join us as Mac Lake shares 3 keys to training leaders from within.
