Hey, Friend!

In today’s episode, I share a little about the story of Barnabas, as recorded in the book of Acts. His nickname, given to him by the Apostles, means Son of Encouragement.

When you look at the Greek word: paraklesis, the meaning goes way beyond what we think of when we think of encourage. This is why Barnabas stood out. His encouragement was bold, visionary, generous, and healing. And your encouragement can be that as well.

I pray this blesses you!

Hey, Friend,

I probably don’t have to tell you this. Women need women. We need women we can trust, confide in, share our lives with, and bounce ideas off of.

I recently took a survey of women in ministry to find out what they needed and they responded with several answers. But the one answer that every woman gave was this:

I need a community of women in ministry outside of my context.

That’s why I started offering Kairos Cohort. This is a group coaching program whereby we meet 7 times a year via zoom and twice a year in my home (for those in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area). Others meet with us completely on zoom.

In today’s episode, I share with you how it is going.

I pray this blesses you,

Hey, Friend!

Ministers don’t like to talk about ministry as business, but in the U.S. it is in most cases.

If you want church to be just ministry, meet in a home, don’t collect money, and have everyone serve as a volunteer.

The minute you buy or rent space, start paying people and purchase goods, you have become a nonprofit business with all of the benefits and expectations of the IRS that go along with that.

Ministers would do well to fully understand what all of that means so that they can steward their budgets accordingly.

In today’s episode, I give a brief overview as to what church as business means and the gratitude we should feel for those bookkeepers and CPA’s out there who effectively steward the church’s resources.

I pray this blesses you!
