This short, summer read will be available in June for anyone who is eager to break the cycle of exhaustion and burnout. @BHpub

I was so blessed by the IMB staff & missionaries I met with this week!

Privileged to preach at FBC, Clinton AR for the same price I charge all Arkansas Baptist churches. @MissionDignity

Exhausted & exhilerated after spending 2 days in an Audible studio recording my upcoming book which launches in June at the SBC in Orlando & anywhere books are sold. @BHpub

The fruitful growth of a church is directly related to the faithful work of its members. There is no program or innovative strategy that automatically grows a church. Ministry and growth is a personal business done by people who are personally invested in people who need Jesus.

Grateful for news from @Jeff_Iorg that @SBCExecComm will consider a budget that delivers on the promise to allocate 51% of @SBCCP to @IMB_SBC. That, along with another adjustment, will increase CP to IMB by approximately $1m and fully support 12 new missionaries to the nations!

“Regardless of whether your pastor prefers a lot of friends or only a few, all pastors need genuine friendships. In my opinion, isolation is Satan’s favorite anti-wellness scheme.” — @markdance lfwy.co/nCaU50YbQ8M

Grateful for presence, ministry & witness of @citieschurch & Pastor @jonathanparnell shining gospel light in darkness of the Twin Cities. Praying for strength & courage. John 3:20 on display yesterday: “everyone who does wicked things hates the light.” baptistpress.com/resource-libra…

Normative sized churches like FBC, Smackover, AR are the heart of the SBC. @arkbaptists

Did a little grocery shopping in Kansas this week. 🏹🦌

@turner_emi65255 That sounds pretty scary

@markdance Wife & I hiked to Hawksbill late one evening. We saw the crag, spent a little time there, then kept hiking. When it got near dark, we could not find the trail back. We survived but my hiking companion only hikes in the mornings with me now.

Enjoyed this breath-taking hike w/ my girlfriend in The Natural State. #Arkansas #Sabbathdate #HawksbillCrag

“With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in God’s likeness.  Blessing and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers and sisters, these things should not be this way.” James 3:9-10 CSB

“Be careful not to confuse preaching about discipleship with practicing it. Equipping and discipling are not mutually exclusive, but neither are they synonymous.” — @markdance lfwy.co/VLTk50Xe7nG

@edstetzer Are you asking for suggestions? ✋🏼🤣
