Spiritual Formation: Attending and Connecting

Over the past few years, it seems that many have taken the opportunity to find excuses to stay away from being connected to the church. Many have walked away, and others have just have not returned for one or many reasons. Many have decided to leave because of a stance or guideline many churches have chosen to follow. However, none of these thoughts should cause the church not to attend and connect every week.

Here are a few benefits to attending and connecting to the church.

1. Being connected helps us grow spiritually.

2. Being connected helps keep us consistent.

3. Being connected helps us during our times of need.

4. Being connected helps us accomplish more.

5. Being connected helps us learn to love.

As we enter the new year, I want to encourage the church to commit to being more connected than in years past. Being connected to a community should not happen occasionally or when they feel like it. Joining and attending church can keep you happier, healthier, and even more engaged. If you are looking for a home church, don’t let your personal preferences or culture confuse you with God’s will. Let’s come together in 2022 and get ready to make a difference in the world God has called us to engage and lead them to encounter God in a life-changing way.

In what ways has the church helped to stay connected? Leave a comment and help others create a new habit of attending and connecting this year.

Rejuvenating the Nonprofit Leader: Renewed Passion and Impact

Photo by Liz Pullan Pattathy on Unsplash Nonprofit leaders are the heart and soul of organizations dedicated to positively impacting society. Their passion and dedication drive change, but it's not uncommon for these leaders to experience burnout or lose their sense of purpose along the way. This post will explore nonprofit leaders' challenges and provide strategies for rejuvenating and revitalizing their leadership journey. The Challenge: Burnout and Compassion Fatigue Nonprofit leaders often face a unique set of challenges. They're driven by a strong sense of purpose, but the intensity of the work can lead to burnout and compassion fatigue. Juggling limited resources, high expectations, and the emotional toll of working in often challenging environments can take a toll on even the most dedicated leaders. The Importance of Rejuvenation Rejuvenating nonprofit leaders is not only essential for their well-being but also for the organizations they lead. When leaders feel ...

The Sacred Quiet: When Silence Speaks

It’s been a while. The pause wasn’t planned, but necessary. Life has a way of ushering us into valleys we never asked to walk through. Over the past few months, my family and I have been navigating one such valley, marked by the sudden passing of someone we dearly loved. It’s the kind of grief that presses pause on everything else. Writing, ministry, even the most basic routines—suddenly all felt heavier, quieter, slower. And in that sacred quiet, I’ve learned something: sometimes, silence is a teacher. Grief has a voice. It speaks in sighs, memories, and unfinished sentences. It also speaks in silence. I used to resist that silence, afraid that stillness might lead to stagnation. But I’ve come to believe silence isn’t the absence of God—it’s often the space where we most clearly hear Him whisper. A Season of Reprieve In our fast-paced world, taking a step back feels counter-cultural. But I’ve come to see that it’s deeply biblical. Jesus often withdrew to lonely places—not just to rest...
