Great post, David! How often I am scared to step into a leadership position out of a fear of being the 'lone ranger'. Great reminder that even the earliest disciples needed to be equipped by the Holy Spirit to train other disciples. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for sharing, Lauren! I really appreciate your honesty. There are so many different routes to becoming parents and it's a miracle no matter what route you take. I will have to check out the podcast! Thanks again.

Posted in: College Care Packages That Nurture Faith
Getting a package is such a tangible way to feel loved! I think it's really cool that churches are finding such unique ways to stay connected to college kids. I'm also going to check out SoulFeed; sounds like a really neat idea.
Thanks for sharing!

Completely agree, Bonnie. It's so easy to do. Thanks for sharing!
Posted in: Church Signs: What Do They REALLY Say?
I like the keep-it-simple approach, Cindy. Also agree that service times/contact information are a must (key for new visitors). Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing this, Libby! This article about the church allowing kids to use social media was really interesting. I especially liked this line: Today’s youth are online – this is where they form relationships, tell their stories and live a significant portion of their lives, including their faith lives. It's a great idea to meet youth where they already are!

Thanks for sharing this, Robin! This is how the body of Christ should work. Out of God's extravagant and grace-filled love for us, we learn how to love others. Powerful reminder.

Thanks Norm and Leon! I agree that the imagery of "pasturing" goes along well with this post (as does "pastoring", which is how it now reads).
