Six reasons churches are taking too long to find a new pastor
Churches are increasingly struggling because pastoral searches are taking too long, often due to outdated processes, under-equipped committees, and a lack of urgency, leading to declining health during extended vacancies.
The new counter-culture: surprising ways Christians can help
What if people aren’t failing to live differently—they simply haven’t been shown how, and the church’s greatest opportunity is to teach practical life skills that shape lasting change?
Whether a hug, or a handshake, or just the touch of a hand on the shoulder—give it!
A simple, genuine touch—a handshake, a hand on the shoulder, or even a hug can communicate love in a way people never forget and may never have experienced before.
Leading well begins with asking God
True leadership begins with humility—asking God daily for the wisdom and knowledge needed to lead well and grow continually.
Watch your heart!
Just as your physical heart needs regular checkups, your spiritual heart requires intentional care to guard against drift, cynicism, and burnout over time.
Follow forward across borders
Faithful obedience in small steps wherever God places you can grow into a lasting impact that reaches far beyond borders.
