If you have served on a church staff for any length of time, you've almost certainly dealt with unhealthy expectations. Too many pastors embrace a hard-driving ministry that borders on burnout, convincing themselves they are being obedient to God's will. In reality, putting too much energy into one area of life or ministry causes you to neglect others. Pastor Horner's new book addresses many of the challenges pastors face.

Life Adventure Outfitters is a practical resource that the Student Ministry staff prays will encourage and challenge parents in their role as spiritual leaders. The commands God gives parents in Deuteronomy 6 provide a strong foundation on how to mentor children and serve as the backbone of this resource. The devotional guide gives parents a resource to begin having family devotions while teaching on the importance of being a light to your community.

Is student ministry accomplishing what we think it is? Roughly two-thirds of students leave the church after graduation. Baptisms are down. Student pastors are walking away from ministry at startling rates. It’s time to rethink student ministry. Steve Wright’s new book, reThink pairs the most up-to-date research available with an overview of a biblical framework for ministry. It will arm you with facts, Scripture and real-life ideas to help you find new ways to get parents back into the equation and help you escape the busy, bigger-and-better, number-driven model of student ministry.

We all need a constant reminder that this is world not our home and that we are going to our eternal home where Christ is. This 30-day devotional and journal, produced by Providence’s College Ministry, is designed to help us live with heaven in mind at all times.

Has your church lost that sense of vitality and excitement for ministry? Do you know God's vision for your church? Pastors need a vision for their church that comes from a balanced examination of God's Word and a plan to move the principles from the pages of Scripture into the lives of their congregation. Church members need a godly vision of their church that comes from the Lord and not from the ambitions of man. As a pastor who has served in the same pulpit for 25 years, David Horner's examination of the roots of a healthy church is both biblically balanced and highly practical.
