Link of the Week

Question: Would you have challenged in this specific way?

Theology and Ministry

1. Fishing: is it part of our ministry model? This describes the benefits of fishing (like Jesus taught).

Question: How much do you fish?

2. I’m still struggling with this, so welcome to my struggle. What if grace isn’t enough?

Question: Well . . . is it?

Question: If you tend toward the negative, how did the positive challenge you in this article?

Question: What did you learn here?
