The Henri Nouwen Spirituality Series

"It's a way of announcing our vision and inviting other people into our mission." Nouwen encourages us to see fundraising as sp...
Transforming Evangelism
The Wesleyan Way of Sharing Faith
F. Douglas Powe Jr., Henry H. Knight III, Henry H. Knight, ...

After all, isn't this a task better handled by the pastor?

The central motive of authentic evangelism is: Having received a message that's ma...

Pauses for Pentecost
50 Words for Easter People
Trevor Hudson

Did you know that the Christian calendar sets aside a season of 50 days between Easter and Pentecost? The Easter season, sometimes called Eastertide, includes our Lord's ascension and leads to the Day of Pentecost, when Christ...
Blessed Endurance

We can't always understand or control many things that happen to us, but we can choose how we respond to our circumstances. Wimmer encourag...
