Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd and Teacher... What Are You?
Steve Sjogren
Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd and Teacher... What Are You? I recently took the online inventory commonly referred to as the APEST put together by Alan Hirsch and company. The notion behind this quiz is that all leaders have some measure of all five of the Eph. 4 office gifts resting upon them - Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd and Teacher. What I discovered as not what I expected! . . . keep reading
Overcoming The Desire To Quit
Steve Sjogren
Overcoming The Desire To Quit It is common that as we get involved in changing the world that every once in a while we want to throw in the towel. I've been there numbers of times. Fortunately that desire usually goes away after a few hours or days. But it's worth thinking through - what are we to do when we can't get over the desire to quit. . . . keep reading

Spring SE Gear Tune-Up
ServeCoach Staff
Spring SE Gear Tune-Up So I was puttering around my own yard this spring and making a checklist of all the repairs that needed to be made around the house and began to notice that not only did I have a rather long list, some of my tools would need to be serviced, repaired, or replaced. It occurred to me that a smart outreach leader would be wise to do the same. . . . keep reading

Words of Love That Follow Deeds Of Love
Steve Sjogren
Words of Love That Follow Deeds Of Love One of my ongoing frustrations in Servant Evangelism has come in seeing people verbalize the Good News. The tendency of human nature is to speak little in the context of serving others. It is rather easy to recruit people onboard with the serving part of equation (the "S"). The evangelism (the "E") is more challenging. Works of love are powerful in themselves, but without an accompanying verbalization of WHY we are doing these things we are cutting things significantly short. In other words, we need to live out a capital S and a capital E lifestyle. . . . keep reading

The Language of Your City
Steve Sjogren
The Language of Your City Did you realize your city has an entirely unique language? I'm not referring to catch phrases nor unique expressions. There is an emotional language of your city. In fact, there are various people groups in your city -- the specific people you are being called to love, to deeply connect with. You can't connect if you don't speak their language. . . . keep reading

 TESTIMONIALS
Here's what people are saying...
ServeCoach has been indispensable in helping us lead the church to be more outward focused. The interviews, resources, ideas have all generated an excitement about "showing God's love in practical ways, no strings attached" by doing acts of kindness. Keep up the good work.
David F..
Georgia, USA

Here's the deal. I was really feeling defeated and bummed. I got connected to this website and I feel like I've been revived. I felt like there was only one other person in my entire church that really understood how I was feeling because he was feeling the same way. I watched an interview and am working on another one and boy was it just what I needed to see and hear. I had all but given up, but now I have renewed hope and I'm hanging in there! So thanks Serve Coach team!
Tamara B.

Whether you're just starting out or have been doing outreach for years, ServeCoach is a fantastic site. There are so many resources and ideas, I can barely keep up. I first joined thinking I would look through everything, get what I needed, and cancel after a month.  But ServeCoach has proven to have much more than I thought, and very valuable to the ministry I serve in.

Steve Sjogren has been coaching leaders for as long as I’ve known him over twenty-plus years. He’s a catalytic leader, challenging “status quo” views of everything from church growth to evangelism methodologies to leadership paradigms.

Steve’s hyper-creativity and genuine love for “not-yet-believers” provide the one-two punch for effective ministry. I’ll never forget the words of a churchplanter who once told me, “After spending time with Steve, I always feel more courageous!”

And who wouldn’t want to be mentored by The Father of Servant Evangelism?
Dave Workman
Vineyard Church

I first heard of Steve Sjogren when my wife read his first book, Conspiracy of Kindness and got fired up about water giveaways and it ignited us to find more ways to serve our community and the people around us. We just got our hands on anything that would be of a value to anyone else and gave it away - Just to show God's love in a practical way and told people, if there is anything you need let us know - no strings attached... and here we are, 14 years later! That is a timeless truth - Showing God's love in practical ways with no strings attached.

Steve has helped create this culture of serving - doing what it takes to show people God's love in practical ways. We have seen a lot of people come to Christ and made the decision to cross that line in faith... I think this is due to people getting outside the walls of the church and these creative serving ideas - a lot of them came right out of things that Steve has taught us. Just reaching into the community and making a difference. We get up in the morning thinking about who is hurting, who has loss, who is going through something and how can we figure out a way to let them know that they matter to God. That is what Servant Evangelism is all about!

Steve’s out-of-the-box thinking and decades of real-world practice makes him a Christian leader worth listening to. Pay attention to Steve; the church will never be the same.
Dino Rizzo
Healing Place Church

I’ve known Steve Sjogren for over two decades as a friend, a very successful church planter, and a massively influential leader not only among American churches, but across the world.

Steve’s passionate focus on moving the church outward into the community and his contagious enthusiasm for reaching lost people has influenced my life and the lives of thousands of other pastors and leaders.

Steve’s out-of-the-box thinking and decades of real-world practice makes him a Christian leader worth listening to.  Pay attention to Steve; the church will never be the same.
