Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty. SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.

Alan E. Nelson, national expert in young leader development, shares on the importance of developing young leaders.
Do you feel like you’re doing everything? You probably are. Now is the time to change it. Me to We: It is an all-too-common reality that pastors feel buried by too much to do and often pulled in too many directions. The pastor-centric congregation is a formula for continuing this dynamic. This Pastor Resource Call identifies the telltale signs of this style of leadership and suggests practical ways to develop shared ownership of the vision and workload. We'll focus on practical ways to move from Me to We, developing people and avoiding burnout. Alan E. Nelson, Ed.D., practiced leadership as a pastor the first 20 years of his life. After earning a doctorate in the field, writing books and teaching seminary courses, he hit midlife. Catalyzed by a conversation with futurist, George Barna, Nelson moved from pastoring to becoming a social entrepreneur. The last decade he's focused on studying the gift of leadership in the very young (ages 3-23), for the purpose of getting to leaders while they're moldable, not moldy (www.LeadYoungTraining.com). He also teaches leadership at USC Marshall School of Business and the Naval Postgraduate School. Alan lives with his wife of 38 years (Nancy), in Thousand Oaks, CA.
Most churches are over-managed and under-led. They often find themselves drowning in unnecessary meetings or stuck in “business as usual” mode. Romans 12:8 says, “If your gift is leadership, then lead with diligence.” Most pastors are ministry managers, teachers and counselors, but not gifted in leadership. That's okay, but how can they tap those gifted in leadership within their congregations? This Pastors Resource Call focuses on leading, ways to identify the gift, practical steps to unleash it responsibly, and why it is essential to the Church, whether pastors possess it or not. Alan E. Nelson, Ed.D., practiced leadership as a pastor the first 20 years of his life. After earning a doctorate in the field, writing books and teaching seminary courses, he hit midlife. Catalyzed by a conversation with futurist, George Barna, Nelson moved from pastoring to social entrepreneurism. The last decade he's focused on studying the gift of leadership in the very young (ages 3-23), for the purpose of getting to leaders while they're moldable, not moldy (www.LeadYoungTraining.com).
