By Shirley Turner There’s no doubt men are cut from different cloth than women. Men talk ideas, women talk details. How I hate to miss a district meeting, largely because that means I will miss all the details. My husband can tell in three sentences what was said and done there. As for me, I can talk the afternoon away about all the subjects covered, the sights noticed, the sounds enjoyed, the tastes savored, the atmosphere absorbed. It may be…
By Donna Crabtree Am I a pastor? Biblically, I would not be given that title officially, but when my husband (Jeff Crabtree) and I married we became one. He is a pastor, so does that make me one? I have thought about this question and wondered what God expects of me as a pastor’s wife. Looking back on my life, I saw many times where God used me when Jeff was not able to be there. My personal belief is…
By Paul V. Harrison We live in an age burdened by emptiness. Modern day man tires himself out with the trivial, all the while wondering why he is so weary with life. Even Christians sometimes suffer from purposelessness and boredom. Jesus addressed this problem with a divine paradox: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

It’s hard to believe the convention is over. Thunderous worship, powerful preaching, intense discussions, friendships renewed, laughter, competition, celebration…minus the intense heat, it’s not hard to imagine that we experienced a little taste of Heaven. We joined our hearts and voices and hands to glorify God, serve others, and renew our spirits. What a great week! But in the back of my mind, I know the ride home is coming. Probably in traffic. With an ever-growing to do list waiting.…

Check out the Better Together Podcast with Pastor Barry Long to get a sense of how that program works. However, the number of available pastoral candidates does not meet the…
