Two Questions for Your Church. Church health may be simpler than we think. darylcrouch.substack.com/p/t…

“Shepherds do the Lord’s bidding. They are under His authority, so shepherds are by God’s grace, humble. An arrogant pastor is a disobedient one.” A few thoughts on shepherding here: darylcrouch.substack.com/p/h…

Is a Great Awakening possible in Tennessee? I explore that question here and welcome your insights. darylcrouch.substack.com/p/w…

“Every church needs the power of network to get the gospel to every neighborhood in their community and to every unreached people group on the planet.” Do denominations still matter? A few thoughts in that here: darylcrouch.substack.com/p/w…

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING? It is no strange thing to pray without ceasing when your heart skips a beat at the thought of everyone you know and the billions you don’t living a new, abundant life in Christ.

“What looks like battle paint is often a mask of insecurity. What looks like courage is often fear feigning as bravery.” After a summer break from my newsletter, here’s a new post on fighters and leaders: bit.ly/4qa8LZd

WHAT IF MY ENEMY IS MY FRIEND? What if we actually need those who see things differently than we do? What if the people whose views frustrate our sensibilities are actually the good, sanctifying work of God? Read the entire short post here: bit.ly/4vRoHkw

THE SUPER POWER OF VBS! What if local churches united around VBS, and collaborated in a way that every parent and every child in every community had multiple opportunities to hear and respond to the gospel? Let’s talk about that here: bit.ly/4aByy5F

An honor to see these @imb missionaries commissioned. This couple is dear to Deborah and me. I was this young lady’s pastor, and Deborah invested so much in her earlier in life. Now this couple now goes to the difficult places. They were unnamed today, but they are not unknown.

A PREFERRED FUTURE FOR THE SBC I'm a happy, convictional Southern Baptist, but we have important issues ahead. So I'm offering six essentials for a preferred future here: darylcrouch.substack.com/p/a…

HAS OVERWHELM PARALYZED YOUR LEADERSHIP? Many pastors and other leaders collect so many priorities, respond to so many needs, and pursue so many good ideas that we can’t function. We’re stuck. Read the full post here: lnkd.in/espV8kkk

HOW CHURCHES CHANGE FOR GOOD “You can call it ‘church renewal’ or ‘church revitalization,’ or you can just call it ‘church.’ That’s because every church needs both spiritual and strategic renewal. All the time. As a way of life.” Keep reading here: open.substack.com/pub/darylc…
