This month we are honing in on the theme: The Art of Coaching. Just like many things in life, whether that is skiing down a black diamond, farming 20 acres of land, overlanding with a four wheeler, hiking a 14er, or running a business there is a way to do those things. Coaching is the same. There is an art to it or a way to coach that will powerfully change lives and therefore advance kingdom impact. Our prayer and hope is that these articles will provide wisdom and insight and encourage ministers to be aware of the gift of coaching.

Discipleship
Culture
When we get in a room full of ministers, pastors, and practitioners, we may find really quickly how diverse our definitions and frameworks are when we think about discipleship. This may be explained by how our unique contexts influence our expressions of discipleship processes and pipelines. But if we do not know where we are going, we will end up some place else than where Jesus intended us to be as His instituted Bride and Church. We hope these articles will encourage and inspire you to rethink, recalibrate, and recapture God’s purpose for your local church as we make disciples together.

Momentum focuses on the “Impact of Pastors.” As we consider a world without pastors and ministers, where would lives be? What would our communities be like? How would our marriages, our children, and our churches be with no shepherd? We are thankful for the gifts God gives us in pastors.

Colorado continues to grow at a rapid pace creating an incredible opportunity for us to work together to reach our state with the life-changing message of Jesus. This year’s theme for Colorado Missions Offering is We Are Sent and our articles this month will focus on the mission of God to disciple Colorado for Christ. Imagine how much we can do for the kingdom of God when we partner together to advance Gospel Impact!
May 2024
According to Lifeway research, “two-thirds of those who attended church regularly for at least a year as a teenager say they also dropped out for at least a year as a young adult.” In this transition of most teenagers/young adults, many things are changing. Some are moving away from home to pursue a degree. Others are beginning their career or joining various types of services to serve this country. But one thing is for sure; all are experiencing more responsibilities and for the first time making critical decisions for their lives. These are crucial times that most often define and set the trajectory of lives. Our prayer is that these articles will help equip and encourage ministers to think and strategize how to help those in this transition.

Momentum focuses on hearing from pastors and ministry leaders about what they have learned and wish they’d known at the beginning of their ministry.
February 2024
According to LifeWay Research, 27% of churches have directly seen congregational members deconstruct their faith. Though this content is different than Momentum’s normal publication, we want to encourage leaders to listen to the thought-provoking podcast Reconstructing Faith. We encourage leaders to reflect on this current culture of deconstructing faith with their ministry team and discuss issues in their ministerial context.

The call to ministry is a spiritual journey that is often navigated by pastors growing in their relationship with God and communicating with those they lead. There is joy in serving in this call but every pastor faces difficulties as they serve the church. Momentum looks into several Myths in Ministry that offer challenges to pastors.
