I was recently on a cross-country flight where I sat next to a woman with not one, but two Blackberry phones. One was for business, the other for personal. Teasing her a bit, I asked, “Isn’t that a headache to keep up with?” She nodded and replied, “I don’t have any other choice.” I proceeded [...]

One of the challenges I have faced in ministry is the enduring battle with stress. Ever wonder why you see so many overweight pastors? Depending on your church’s view of alcohol, the stigma of walking into a bar and drinking our worries away doesn’t go over so well with the deacons and elders (who might [...]

While we are safely tucked away in our office confines here in America, across the Pacific lies a country that is in peril. Unless you’ve lived in a coma for the past week, you know about the unreal devastation that is taking place in Japan. It was hit by a 8.9 Richter scale earthquake, which [...]

Part of connecting with churches and organizations is to interact with them and provide up-to-date information and insight on the world of ministry solutions. We have developed close working relationships with many of our clients and we want to continue serving them by communicating effectively. One way that we do this is through social networking. [...]

Last week we asked, “What impossible thing are you believing God for?” The responses we received displayed the kind of faith we should have… believing God for the unbelievable! Some folks talked about standing strong during a weakened economy, while others are believing for strides in personal growth. Here are the five winners of Steve [...]
