One of the symptoms of Gods people is kindness, if you are a Christian but consistently find yourself void of kindness you may need to reevaluate.
Notice, I didn’t say compromising kindness but kindness none the less.
We need more Christian leaders and churches with uncompromising biblical convictions, yet have the ability to connect with people that don’t share those beliefs. All fight with no grace is a fail. Compassion without a spine is a fail. Hold the tension. - Erik Reed
@danwhitejr I think branding and marketing/advertising are super important. BUT discipleship and prayer are the integrity that allow you to maintain the growth that great advertising brings. If you advertise you might bring in people but with no substance you won’t keep them.
Speaking of church planting, if you want to plant, start to pray. Nothing opens doors like the power of prayer. #Prayer#PrayerWorks
PS: don’t STOP once you START.
Ministry is not a career, it’s a calling. This doesn’t mean you can’t make a decent living, doesn’t mean ministry can’t have a retirement plan but what it does mean is that monetary gain in this life will never offset the cost of being a minister. #Ministry#Churchwork
I am looking for church planters. If you are planting, want to plant or are interested in the idea of planting, send me a message.
I personally planted and now run a multi campus church and would love to pray, share resources, expertise and anything else. #ChurchPlanting#Church
@JoyTaylorTalks@HunterMitchell6 I looked into the UFC bylaws a number of years ago when people wanted him fired for the fight card shenanigans. he’s untouchable if no criminal charges are pressed. Sounds wrong but that’s what the UFC ownership agreed to when they made him president AND commissioner.
@bethallisonbarr I’m a pastor, for pastors we have to understand we are scrutinized at a completely different level than a normal guy. We CANT have female friendships like that. And with the crap some of the mega pastors have pulled. Everyone is looking for an opportunity to take down a pastor.
@sheilagregoire you can marry a person and that marriage not be God honoring, not good and not beneficial for you or them.
I also don’t believe in soul mates so there isnt a MrRight out there either. Grass is always greener..
Great marriages put God first then choose each other every day.
Inner peace is attained through the calming of the soul not the calming of the world. Your world can be a storm but when God calms you inside it is a “peace that surpasses understanding”
Churches are imperfect because people are imperfect. Only churches that have the chance of perfection are ones that have no people in them.
Nothing wrong with looking for the “right fit” when it comes to a church, just don’t fall into the lie that you will find a perfect one.
Think about how different your life would be if every time you worried about something, you stopped and said a one minute prayer about that thing?
That one minute could change everything.

Gossip is gossip. Doesn’t matter who it’s too or even if it’s true. Put a stop to it or the next person being talked about might be you. (I didn’t mean for that to rhyme but it did so there is that)
