“We just don’t have enough church planters.”I have heard some variation of this concern from church leaders throughout the Western world. In the last six months, I have met with hundreds of church leaders in Australia, Europe and the United States.

Leading After the Election

Nov 13, 2024 | outreachmagazine.com | Dave Ferguson

As a leader, what do you want life to be like in post-election America? And specifically, what do you want for your neighborhood and city going forward? In Love Your Enemies, Harvard social scientist and Christ follower Arthur C. Brooks offers us an unconventional prescription. To bring America together, he says, the data tells us we shouldn’t try to force agreement. Instead, he challenges leaders to act in a profoundly different way.
Albuquerque Evil Spreads Into Rio Rancho Like Wildfire. Teen Mental Health Crisis Deepens: What to Know

Nov 4, 2024 | fggam.org | Dewey Moede |Dave Ferguson

We have been following the increase in violent crime in Rio Rancho for over the last year or more. Albuquerque is in a very dangerous situation that continues to worsen, it has now spread into Rio Rancho, it was just a matter of time. Evil is sweeping across America like wildfire. We are seeing a breakdown of Christianity. Years and years of not carrying out The Great Commission has more than caught up with the Church.
Preaching Through Darkness

Oct 31, 2024 | preachingtoday.com | Sean Palmer |John Johnson |Dave Ferguson

Barbara Brown Taylor writes in Learning to Walk In The Dark, “I have learned things in the dark that I could never have learned in the light, things that have saved my life over and over again, so that there is really only one logical conclusion. I need darkness as much as I need light.” She’s right. In her remarkable career as a pastor, professor, writer, and homiletician, she may have never been righter, at least not for me, right now. My brother died last July.
Who Are Your Twelve?

Oct 22, 2024 | outreachmagazine.com | Dave Ferguson

“Who are your 12?”This was the question on red T-shirts worn by many of the members at Worship Harvest Church in Kampala, Uganda. The question on the T-shirt was a way to reinforce the value of disciple making as the primary task of their church. When I asked apostle Moses Mukisa, who founded Worship Harvest about the T-shirts he responded confidently, “It’s the question Jesus answered with his 12 disciples.
Seek Community on the Road to Recovery

Oct 3, 2024 | vineyardgazette.com | Dave Ferguson

One signpost on the road of my recovery reads: don’t be an Island. Find the others. Don’t isolate. Beware the siren song of isolation. Share your stories. Recover out loud so that some don’t die silently. Odds are you know someone who is currently suffering or has suffered from addiction. The Red House is for you and them.
Keeping Score: Measuring What Matters. Dave Ferguson: Without honest assessments, it’s challenging to gauge whether a church is winning or not.

Oct 1, 2024 | fggam.org | Dewey Moede |Dave Ferguson

So many Churches are failing to baptize people and raise up strong, loving Christians. They are stuck. I see to much of this struggle, 10 to 25 in Church, no growth, no baptisims, no children in Church, no Children’s Sunday school, NO ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL in some! WHY DON’T SOME CHURCHES MERGE WITH OUTER CHURCHES??? My goodness, you have a Church on every street corner here in Albuquerque and the city is falling into the pit of hell.
Keeping Score: Measuring What Matters

Sep 30, 2024 | outreachmagazine.com | Dave Ferguson

HERO MAKER DAVE FERGUSONWhen I was in seventh grade, the best ballplayer on my Deer Creek Junior High basketball team was Jerry McGee. Jerry was an amazing athlete for a 13-year-old, but in a game against our biggest rivals he got confused about which basket was ours. Jerry stole the ball and made a fastbreak layup … for the other team! The scoreboard didn’t lie. He had just scored two points for the other team. And then it got worse: He did it again. Scoreboards Never LieA scoreboard never lies.
Create a Culture of Multiplication

Jul 3, 2024 | outreachmagazine.com | Dave Ferguson

Erwin McManus once defined culture as “spontaneous repeated patterns of behavior.” Culture is at work 24/7, reinforcing over and over what is really important, through spontaneous, repeated patterns of behavior. In my book Hero Maker (Zondervan), I outline a seven-step process for creating a hero-making culture.
