Spread the Gospel like Stubble Clover…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: May 13, 2018May 13, 2018

So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. – 1 Corinthians 3:7-8 ESV  I was part […]

A Fish Story

by: Brent LacyPosted on: July 9, 2017July 9, 2017

It all starts with a young coal miner named John Kuhnert. He had a young family at home, and not a lot of resources to put food on the table to feed the young growing family. John and his brothers discovered that they could get quite a lot of meat […]

What does a Rural Ministry Specialist do?

by: Brent LacyPosted on: August 17, 2016August 17, 2016

In my work with National Network of Youth Ministries, I get asked this question a lot. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to share about my work with NNYM at Nyesville Full Gospel Church. The presentation gives a great overview of the work I do in Illinois, Indiana […]

Help Wanted…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: May 12, 2016

Today’s teenagers are struggling with issues that I never would have dreamed of as a teen. Many of them also lack the home support system that most of us enjoyed growing up. Where are they getting their influence? Every town has several churches with youth workers that desire to reach […]

You’re Tracking The Wrong Metrics in Rural Ministry…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: October 6, 2015October 7, 2015

I know, I used a buzzword. Whether you are in Church Growth, Business, Marketing, SEO, or Fantasy Sports, the word “Metrics” carrries a heavy connotation.  Its one of measuring and evaluting everything for the sake of making things better. In a lot of rural churches, this would be a large […]

Ramblings from the Desert….

by: Brent LacyPosted on: September 10, 2015

I’m almost a year into a journey that has included time away from being on a church staff. It has been strange to experience (in some ways) a “normal” church member experience. The disorientation of this journey has been a desert of sorts. It has removed me from most of the […]

How to truly #DefundPlannedParenthood …

by: Brent LacyPosted on: August 26, 2015

Unless you have been living under a rock the last few months, you know there is an ongoing battle to defund Planned Parenthood on the state and national level in the legislatures. As the lawmakers return from their month of recess, the rhetoric on both sides will undoubtedly escalate. I […]

Ministry is Generational. We cannot forget this. EVER.

by: Brent LacyPosted on: June 18, 2015

Last week I attended the visitation for a friend that I wish I would have gotten to know more before Alzheimers did the awful things that it does to a person over the process of many years. I can tell you that he served others, and he served his church […]

Its all His anyway…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: February 10, 2015

This morning, a friend of mine posted a news story on Facebook about some urban farming happening in North St. Louis. The story is quite fascinating how people have farmed this land for so many years, not knowing who the owner is, and happily reaping the benefits. There is a […]

4 Things I Learned Leaving Church Staff…

by: Brent LacyPosted on: February 8, 2015February 9, 2015

Its now four months since I left my last church staff position. Its been a roller coaster of opportunities and some letdowns along the way. This has been the longest gap between serving on staff at a church in 14 years. There has not been the “normal” of searching and […]
