Thinking About Starting a Ministry? Start Here

A free checklist with the 5 decisions I wish someone had handed me before I started — so you build something that lasts instead of something that burns you out.

You keep circling back to the idea.

Maybe it's a nudge you can't shake, or a conversation that keeps replaying. You've typed "how do I start a ministry" into Google more than once. Here's what nobody tells you on the way in: the calling isn't usually the hard part. Building it in a way you can actually sustain is. It's one page. It won't answer every question. But it'll save you from a few of the mistakes I made.

"No spam, just this checklist and the occasional note from me when something new might actually help. Unsubscribe anytime."

This free checklist walks through the 5 decisions that make the biggest difference early on:

1

Clarifying the calling, not the whole plan

2

Deciding what you'll say no to

3

Separating exhaustion from doubt

4

Finding your people before you need them

5

Building one simple, repeatable rhythm

It's one page. It won't answer every question. But it'll save you from a few of the mistakes I made.
