The Focused Pastor
Pastoral leadership presents a unique set of challenges both on a personal and professional level. Pastors often find themselves immersed in busyness, overwhelmed, and grappling with a sense of isolation. The Focused Pastor exists to come alongside pastors, their families, and the church with free resources designed to encourage and equip them for these unique challenges. Learn more at TheFocusedPastor.org.
Marriage 911
Nearly one out of four Christian couples are struggling in their marriage. They often turn to their church for answers, yet many churches lack the resources these couples so desperately need. Marriage 911 is a faith-based mentoring program that incorporates biblical teaching, time-tested principles, and counselor-approved practices to guide mature Christians as they mentor hurting couples.
