The Non-Anxious Pastor
A quote from Pastor TREY from his book “The Non-Anxious Pastor:” ************************************ I never truly dealt with the root problems of my anxiety because it always seemed to benefit me. Stress turned me into a straight-A student. Fear of failure gave me the ability to consume and create content at a very high level. My…
You are Here Devotional
Busyness can be a disguise for self-sufficiency and pride. Prioritizing prayer requires humility. It requires recognizing that we not in control and we need to lay it all down and trust in Jesus. Chris Spradley (@youarehere_devotional ) from his book “You are Here: A Discipleship Devotional for Marking the Growth and Development of Your Christian Walk.”…

Garrett Kell on what people need
“Pastors, in your sermons, don’t give the people a political hot-take, a stand-up comedy routine, a story time fairy tale, a theological lecture, a moralistic message, a shame-filled scolding, or a feel-good motivational speech. They need more. They need Jesus. Give them Jesus.” Pastor @j.garrett.kell on twitter I feel like churches and pastors have an impossible task…
