War of Words: One Question to Help us Minister in Divided Communities

Practicing Pastor Appreciation Year Round
October, or“Pastor Appreciation Month,” is a full month to tell your pastor how much you love them!

Being a leader is also hard because you have to live in two times simultaneously. Leading means being present with people in the now, while also thinking further down the road.
