Passion, you say?

Posted on by

This is Passion Week – or Holy Week – the week we remember Jesus’ Passion.

These days, when I think of passion, I think of how hard my fellow church leaders are working to do their ministry. Today, Laurel was helping me make this video and I said,”And just like that, every pastor’s wife became a video producer.”

Why?

Why are all these pastors doing this?

Why are all the churches streaming?

This video speaks to that question.

What a lot of people don’t realize is that this push – this passion for the gospel – is not new for most of my peers. The circumstances simply make it more evident.

Got passion? Let it show!

I Was Just in the Woods

I was just in the woods.
The sparrows were not worrying.
-Pastor Steve

Look at those woods!

6Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. — Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV2011)

Spending Time Alone Together

During this time when you are Safe at Home have you felt a little stressed and wondered why? It might be that you are getting kind of tapped out, emotionally – even socially.

Pastor Steve speaks about this in this video.

Social distancing is the catch phrase, but in our homes it might feel more like social compressing – social squishing.

The wise family creates ways to spend time alone together.
