Last-Minute Easter Prep Guide for Pastors A High-Impact Leadership Blueprint for the Most Important Weekend of the Year.
Easter is coming. You feel it. The opportunity. The pressure. The weight of wanting to steward it well. This free guide will help you lead Easter with clarity, energy, and intentional momentum — not last-minute stress. [ Download the Free Guide ] ⸻ SECTION 1 – THE PROBLEM Don’t Just Survive Easter. Most churches prepare operationally. Service times. Volunteers. Graphics. Kids check-in. But very few pastors prepare strategically and personally. Easter exposes both our faith and our leadership. Without intentional alignment, Easter becomes exhausting instead of catalytic. But handled well? It can become a growth inflection point for your entire year. ⸻ SECTION 2 – WHAT THIS GUIDE IS The 7 Leadership Lanes of Easter Readiness Inside this guide, you’ll walk through a practical 1–10 diagnostic across seven critical areas: 1. Spiritual Intensity Are you leading from overflow or depletion? 2. Leadership & Team Alignment Is your team unified and clear on the win? 3. Internal Communication Does your church understand what’s happening and why it matters? 4. External Communication Does your community know what to expect and how to engage? 5. Guest Experience & Capacity Are you prepared to steward momentum? 6. Personal Performance & Energy Are you protecting your focus, margin, and clarity? 7. Post-Easter Strategy Are you positioned to capture momentum — or lose it? Each lane includes: ✔ Clear leadership statements ✔ 1–10 self-assessment scoring ✔ Lane totals and interpretation ✔ Immediate next-step prompts This is not theory. It’s a leadership audit you can complete in under 60 minutes. ⸻ SECTION 3 – WHO THIS IS FOR This Is for Growth-Minded Pastors. This guide is built for pastors who: • Take stewardship seriously • Want measurable growth, not just busy weekends • Care about their soul as much as their strategy • Refuse to wing the most important Sunday of the year If that’s you — this will serve you well. ⸻ SECTION 4 – ABOUT YOU (AUTHORITY SECTION) From Pastor to Pastor I’m Gabe Kolstad.
