Here is a stockpile of the best stuff I have read lately about marriage, parenting, Church and being a pastor. Some good stuff. While I do not agree with 100% of it, I do feel it is some quality material to get you thinking. Don’t miss the movie trailer for the film “Risen” coming out in January. Finally, the video at the bottom is a 17 minute TED talk about living in a culture that loves to shame people. It is scary and insightful at the same time. I hope you enjoy it all!
