Pastor Appreciation Month and the greatest gift you could give to your pastor(s)

October is Pastor Appreciation Month. But why wait until October to appreciate your pastor(s)?

Why not get THIS for the crabbiest people in your church?

I know. I can't believe I just said that.

Seriously, if you're NOT a pastor, you need to share this post.

Do it now. Do it for your pastor(s).

If you are a pastor, please resist the urge to share this post.

Seriously. Don't do it.

For the sake of your job and family.

DON'T DO IT!

Okay, you can get this and then anonymously mail it to the crabbiest people in your church.

Be sure to wipe off any finger prints before mailing.

I posted this picture a while back, totally in jest. In my defense, I got it from a dear friend. But once I stopped with the snort laughing, I had to share it. My people didn't critique but laughed along with me, which must be a sign of leading a healthy church. Deeply appreciate you and your love for pastors like me.

So many people trying to find friendship and community...

If video above doesn't appear, go here . So many people trying to find friendship and community. Here's a thought. Instead of trying to "find" community, what if instead you sought to "build" community right where you live , work , play , and church ? But how does one "build" community? As a general rule, I try to take all of my questions to Jesus and the Bible.  So, how did Jesus "build" community?   This is where I invite you to do your own study on how Jesus used meals to connect with people. At a minimum, you could quickly search " Jesus eating. " What can we say with certainty about Jesus and eating in the Bible? It seems that Jesus enjoyed eating meals with all sorts of people—and the meal wasn't about the food—it was how Jesus connected with people. Can you think of a better way to connect with people? Perhaps this is why Paul lists "hospitality" as a requirement for all leaders in the church (1 Timothy 3:

This four-session disciplemaking training experience takes you to the very heart of disciplemaking friendships that flourish and multiply. It's an exploration of how to live the "one-another" verses as found in the Bible. This will NOT be a lecture or a passive  workshop. Expect fun, thought-provoking interactions, encouragement, and God-directed transformation that you'll be able to apply to your life and ministry immediately. Bring your Bible and your framily (friends and family). Each person receives a training manual  and  a One Another Living Guide for taking what you learn back to those where you live, work, play, and church. Y ou'll encounter these four sessions: *  Session 1  (Thursday PM, September 5 th, 6-8 PM ) No Relationships = No Ministry;  Know Relationships = Know Ministry An out-of-the-box learning experience will get us started and explain why relationships are the heart of ministry—and God’s mode of operation for impacting and changing the lives
