Carlos Ortiz
Director of Leadership XP Lifechurch.tvTwo years ago I was negative about search firms. One year ago, I was skeptical. Today, I am a fan of Vanderbloemen Search Group.

5 Questions to Inspire Creative Team Collaboration Have you ever sat in a worship service planning meeting and felt like you were sitting in the middle of a war zone? The ideas people are at odds with the operations people. The creatives feel like the executors are an obstacle, and the executors feel like the creatives are unrealistic and irresponsible. The creatives think anything is possible, and the technical team members don’t understand why the creatives can’t see the reality of the church’s resources. I’ve sat in these types of church staff meetings, and it’s not fun. Sometimes the tension can be cut with a knife. -
Bridging the Generational Gap on Your Church Staff One of the challenges we hear from pastors who have recently stepped into a leadership role is the generational gap on church staffs. This challenge looks different in every church. In some churches, the new senior pastor is a young leader stepping onto a tenured staff. For others, the senior pastor is a tenured leader with younger staff members. If you want to make changes in your church, then you must bridge the generational age gap on your church staff. Use these six steps as a starting point to help build your team. -
6 Tips for Church Leaders Planning for Sunday Sunday comes around every week, and no one is more aware of this fact than the Senior Pastor and the Programming or Production team. The best services and weekend experiences are planned intentionally with a goal in mind to create an inviting worship environment where people can experience God. Visitors and attendees will know if you're unprepared because it will feel unsettled. Sunday is not the day for an urgent rush or fire drill. Whatever your role as a church leader - senior pastor, creative arts director, worship leader or technical director - you can foster an excellent weekend experience through collaboration and the establishment of a weekly planning rhythm. -
10 Church Leadership Lessons from Matthew 10 Over twenty years ago, I read an article, the source of which I no longer have, on church leadership lessons from Jesus taken from Matthew 10. I jotted down the main points and slipped it in my “leadership” file. They are still great principles for church leadership today. Jesus developed leaders by calling them, training them, and sending them out. Jesus had called his twelve disciples, he had trained them, and in Matthew 10, we see Him sending them out on a short-term mission. -
Debunking the Myth of the Balanced Life Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to find balance in your life? There’s a simple answer: The “balanced life” is a myth. I realize this is a bold statement and know that it may sound surprising for those of us who think that achieving “balance” is the Holy Grail of life. In different times in my life, I’ve found myself thinking that if I could only adjust the knobs on the various segments of my life to get the levels just right, then I would arrive at a place of sustainable peace, fulfillment, and satisfaction in all the dimensions of my life. I don’t know about you, but I have never been able to pull this off. Just when I get my professional life humming, my relational world gets out of whack. Just when I get my relational world running smoothly, the market crashes and financial stress affects my work and my relational world, and on and on it goes. My so-called “balanced life” seems to bob and shimmer just beyond my grasp.
