<p>Ever try to figure out what you should talk to your kids about? If so, you’re in for a treat. Reading No Matter What is like listening in on a personal conversation between a father and his children. Well, actually, that’s exactly what it is. But as you listen to Michael Lukaszewski, an accomplished leader and CEO, talk to his children, Lauren, Emma and Matthew, you’ll find a more than a very rich, personal conversation going on. You’ll gain insights on how to talk to your own kids about what matters most. Michael covers some of life’s most important and urgent issues— unconditional love, standing up for what’s right, faith, delayed gratification, hope and even comparing ourselves to others—and handles them with wit, humor and salient insight. What’s best about this book is that if you read it, you’ll likely never get to a stage in life where you say “I wish I had talked to my kids about...”. Because you will have talked to them about what matters most, perhaps even using some of Michael’s words. And for that, your kids will be grateful. So, actually, will you. - from the forward, by Carey Nieuwhof</p>

<p>You are confident of your calling. You are leading a church with an important mission. You’ve got a carefully worded vision statement, a set of core values, and leaders who say they want to make it happen. But does it feel like you’re not making any real progress? Does it feel like you’re stuck solving the same problems over and over again? Does it seem that you’re always talking about potential, or tomorrow, or after the next hire? After twenty years in ministry, I’ve learned that passion isn’t enough. You can have a clear mission, but without organization you won’t get everyone moving in the right direction. You can preach the vision, but if you don’t have a clear path ready for people, your vision talk will be just talk. I bet you don’t have a mission problem, or a facility problem, or even a volunteer problem. I know it’s trendy to talk multi-site, and popular to run a 40 day campaign. New service times, new programs, and new websites are like candy that captures attention in the checkout aisle. But it’s likely these aren’t the issues holding you back. You can start new services and hire a branding company to create a new website, and in three years from now you’ll likely be in the same place. That’s because you’re knee deep in a system problem. Streamline will help you create and implement healthy systems across all the departments in your church. You'll create alignment with your team and build focus into your ministries. You'll know what's working and why. Each short chapter focuses on one system you can create or improve. You'll walk away with actionable ideas ready to execute. Streamline will help you organize your church around the important mission.</p>
