our church is praying/considering hiring a search firm. We've been looking for a Pastor for 18 months. At first blush, I dunno if it is a good idea. Anyoen have experience with search firms being used to find a Pastor? (it is a Christian firm)

My wife is considering retiring to take care of our grandkids. As a result we are shopping for new medical insurance. Does anyone here have experience with MEDI Share or Christian Healthcare Ministries?

Hey, y'all. We are going to Orlando this week and I always like to attend a church when I travel. We are staying at Sheraton Vistana(not far from Disney). We are ok with Baptist, E Free, Non Denoms, etc. With all us old people here, lol, I have to think some of you are familier with that area...

Our YP notified the elders he is looking for a new job. We are undergoing a transition as our Senior Pastor is retiring and we were counting on the YP to help us through this transition. We are praying about how to handle this situation. He has one foot out the door, should we give him severance...

I belong to a golf forum where members reccomend courses in areas. Is there a thread or forum here for church recs in areas? Just wondered. We are vacationing in Steamboat Springs and went to Steamboat Christian Center. Great music, great message.

my hope was that in 2 years when I can collect SS I would find a fulltime job in a ministry as I know a lot of them cant pay much. I have been volunteering for a local place for ten years. I met with a missionary we support who is back from Africa and she told me about a position in her agency...

recently I was asked to join the search committee at our church for a new full time youth pastor. The committee has been working since November but haven’t had many applicants thus far. Just hoping to hear any feedback from those who have experience in this. We are in Des Moines and offer a...

In attempting to share the gospel I bought a bunch of gospel tracts. Do any of you distribute them or hand them out on a regular basis? If so, what has been your experience? I received Jesus in the Marine Corps after a fellow Marine shared a gospel tract.nMy plan is to be intentional, mostly...

my daughter is getting married next month and I guess we're going to take a ballroom dancing class so I don't completely mess up the dance. I would appreciate recommendation for a song. I would really appreciate some more unique choices. Thank you

good morning. Here's mine!

saw it yesterday with my wife. A very powerful film. Would encourage all "pro choice" people to go see it.

My wife and I went to see a casual friend last night. She is more a friend of a friend but weve always enjoyed her and her family. They have stopped giving her treatment for her cancer and are just making her as comfortable as possible. We knew the family doesn't go to church and we've told her...

I thought this was a thought provoking article Claire Lehmann on Twitter "Liberalism is a set of procedures, with an empty center, not a manifestation of truth, let alone a reconciliation to mortality. But, critically, it has long been complemented and supported in America by a religion...

recently this has been made available for me through the place I volunteer. Anyone else using it? Its a treasure trove of Bible studies with videos and guides. It has made my life much better by providing a multitude of studies complete with videos and handouts. rightnowmedia.org

just a great read. Gives good insight not only to the debate between political but also religious debates. Claire Lehmann on Twitter

powerful film. reminded me of my father in laws transformation. Changed lives=further proof of God

sometimes I wonder if we can do stuff like watch a replay of our lives and how they would or could have turned out had we made different choices? or actually live out a life we always hoped for but never happened? Id wonder what it would have been like to be the heavyweight champion or some...

Our Pastor left recently. Our denomination leaders told our elders finding a new pastor will take 18 to 24 months. This seems excessively long to me and I worry that our church will shrink if it takes that long. Does that timeframe seem normal to most of you?
