What is the one thing that determines whether a leader finishes strong or becomes a needless casualty? In Episode 2 of “Essentials in Leadership,” Duane Sheriff shares that the greatest essential in leadership is not position, talent, or success—but maintaining an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Drawing from the apostle Paul's words, “this one thing I do,” Duane affirms that every believer is called, first and foremost, to know God personally and seek Him above everything else.When we get this one thing right—prioritizing our relationship with Jesus above all else—it brings clarity, stability, and purpose to every area of leadership and life. Our ministries are anointed, our work is fruitful, and our daily responsibilities are infused with divine purpose. True leadership flows from dependence on God rather than human effort alone. This episode challenges believers not to let busyness, ministry work, or daily tasks substitute for intimacy and fellowship with the Lord.

You can spend a lifetime studying the Bible and still miss its central message.While we await the release of a new season of Paul's 5-Minute Bible Study, we're revisiting the first introductory episodes. Today, Paul warns against treating Scripture as merely a source of knowledge and reminds us that the ultimate purpose of Bible study is to know, love, and surrender to Jesus Christ.You can listen to the complete 5-Minute Bible Study journey through the Old and New Testaments at PaulTripp.com/BibleStudy, or by subscribing to the dedicated Paul Tripp 5-Minute Bible Study Podcast channel.

We are all leaders. Whether we're guiding our families, influencing our workplaces, or serving in our communities or churches, leadership is woven into the fabric of everyday life, and we all carry the mantle of leadership in some capacity. In "Essentials in Leadership", Duane Sheriff shares personal lessons he has learned through more than four decades of ministry and walking with the Lord. Leadership is not merely about position or title, but about influence, character, faith, perseverance, and following Jesus faithfully. These universal top 10 leadership truths apply to every person, regardless of their role, season of life, or sphere of influence.In this series, Duane will explore 10 essential leadership principles that are indispensable for thriving in our God-given roles. He compares these essentials to water, food, and air—not merely good ideas, but necessities for survival. As leaders, we are called to be models of God's grace, faith, integrity, and perseverance for others to follow. Whether you're leading at home, in ministry, or in the workplace, these truths will strengthen your walk with God, equip you to influence others for His kingdom, and help you endure faithfully without becoming a needless casualty in your spiritual race.

That difference most commonly and brilliantly shows up when life gets hard.This week, we'll be studying 1 Peter 2:4-10 under the theme “You're Not Doing Life Alone.” From the moment we're born, we crave connection—and in Christ, God gives us something better than independence: he makes us part of a living family, built together on a living Savior.Fill out our online connection cardHow can we pray for you?

We are joined in this episode by Dr. Elizabeth Pennock. Dr. Pennock is the Director of the Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program at Western Theological Seminary in Holland, Michigan. She received her PhD at the University of Central Florida and her dissertation was titled “Trauma-Informed Clergy: An Investigation of Factors Predicting the Trauma-Related Attitudes of Christian Clergy in Florida.” She is therefore ideally situated to help pastors and others examine what they bring to ministry that is either helpful or harmful to those in their churches who have faced or are facing trauma in their lives. But it's not just Dr. Pennock's academic training that makes her a valuable resource. She brings to this conversation not only a love for those bearing trauma, but al a great love for the church and for those who shepherd the church. And as well she is a gentle and caring soul. I know you will benefit from her insights. This is part one of a two part conversation. I hope you are able to take in both.

On this episode of The Lead On Podcast, Jeff Iorg, president of the SBC Executive Committee, shares what adults who grew up in ministry homes say their parents did well. He highlights open communication, prioritizing family, shielding kids from unnecessary conflict, involving them wisely in ministry, and modeling a genuine love for God and people.

Have you ever thought about why adoption is so close to God's heart? Maybe you know someone who was adopted or as a child you wish you were adopted (jk!) or perhaps you've thought at one time or another: Should we adopt? And what all will that mean to me and our family? Today we have our friends, Jill and Todd Talley, to talk about all things adoption as well as some mentoring topics. Todd and Jill Talley are the parents of three children, two through birth and one through adoption. In 2008 they were blessed to be able to fly to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and bring home their then 18-month-old son. Together as a family the Talleys have a passion for adoption, orphan care ministries and mentoring. So much so in 2009, Todd and Jill met with several families from Grace SLO who had adopted or fostered. Together these couples founded the Adoption and Foster Care Ministry at Grace Central Coast. The Talleys currently Co-Lead the Ministry.   Some gems from our conversation: From the first time we held baby Daniel in our arms, we loved him and knew that this was how our Father in heaven holds and loves us.  By entering in and serving our community, we show the Gospel in understated ways. Foster care and adoption starts with a loss—this child carries a great loss which we can't fully replace but God can through our efforts to love and come alongside as He does for us. Every child belongs in a loving family. The biggest challenge to doing foster care and mentoring is time management. We have to learn how to "layer in" a young person into our already busy schedule who just needs someone to show up and be there to listen. Being engaged in church community was invaluable to our venturing into adoption. Adoption and foster care is a picture of God's welcoming heart.  By utterly depending on God for grace and strength, we want to show the same grace to the lonely, the lost, and the child who needs a family.  The book Jill mentioned: There Is No Me Without You by Melissa Fay Greene Baby Daniel!

The Holy Ghost made sure the names of faithful women were written into the record, and that ought to settle forever the idea that biblical church order somehow minimizes women. Those women laboured, helped, hosted, served, supported, instructed in proper order, strengthened the saints, and bore real burdens in the work of the gospel. Paul did not treat them as decorative spectators. He called them helpers, servants, succourers, and fellowlabourers. But he never made them bishops, elders, pastors, or authoritative teachers over the church. That distinction matters. The modern church often wants to flatten every distinction God makes, but Paul's pattern honours both men and women by placing them where God designed them to function.“And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.” Philippians 4:3 (KJB)On this episode of Rightly Dividing, a rightly ordered church, according to Paul, is a church where Christ is the Head, sound doctrine is the rule, qualified men lead, faithful women labour, older saints disciple younger saints, sin is corrected, heresy is rejected, and the whole body is edified. This is not oppression; it is protection. It keeps the pulpit guarded, the home strengthened, the assembly sober, and the ministry fruitful. When men abandon their place, women are tempted to fill the vacuum. When women reject their place, confusion enters the assembly. But when both submit to the Pauline order, the church becomes what it was meant to be: a disciplined, doctrinally sound, gospel-preaching body operating “decently and in order.” Tonight's Bible Study is a Part 2 from this morning's Sunday Service message, and we will take an in-depth look at all the women who laboured with the apostle Paul in the gospel ministry.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 279-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 44,448 on turnover of $18.6-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed more than 1,000 points higher Friday with AI-related stocks in focus amid improved sentiment after U.S. President Donald Trump cancelled planned strikes against Iran. Analysts say electronics heavyweights, notably in the semiconductor industry simply followed suit and the momentum largely reflected optimism toward AI development. And select raw material stocks also moved higher in line with the Taiex. Civil groups urge protections for migrant caregivers through agency hiring Civil groups are urging the government to allow household migrant caregivers to be hired and managed by long-term care agencies. They say, the move would prevent overwork and better protect the interests of both those providing and receiving care. Protesters demonstrated at a rally outside the Ministry of Health and Welfare, saying "exploitation (利用，剝削) is not a choice." Advocates described facing long working hours, limited opportunities for rest or leave, and increasing care responsibilities that often go beyond what one person can do. They noted that the rights to rest and take leave are "fundamental labor and human rights," and emphasized that caregivers being overworked affected the quality of care received by older adults. MOHW officials say that the proposed change would require significant regulatory changes and careful assessment. 2 Mercury viewing events coming up The Taipei Astronomical Museum says, stargazers may be able to view Mercury with the naked eye twice this week… This month Mercury is visible low in the western sky after sunset and can be seen more easily with binoculars. The first event will occur tomorrow, with one of the best chances all year to observe the planet. Then on Wednesday, Mercury will join Venus, Jupiter, and a crescent moon in the western sky,with all four objects forming a vertical arrangement. The museum recommended viewing the events between 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. from a location with an unobstructed (無障礙的) view of the western horizon… but they do warn of unstable weather affecting visibility. Gaza latest Gaza's Health Ministry says the Palestinian death toll from the Israel-Hamas war has surpassed 73,000. The updated toll came as Israel has continued to strike what it says are militant targets, often killing civilians, despite a fragile (脆弱的) ceasefire deal reached in October. Donna Warder again. G7 Summit Protests Thousands of demonstrators are converging in Geneva to show their discontent with the G7 group of rich countries. U.S. President Donald Trump and counterparts are set to hold a summit starting today across Lake Geneva in France. Environmentalists and feminists on Sunday joined protesters against imperialism (帝國主義), defenders of independent media and supporters of Palestinian rights and others in a lakeside park for a march across town. The summit from Monday to Wednesday in Evian-les-Bains, France, will discuss the Middle East, Ukraine and global economic issues. Demonstrators have been gathering for days. Switzerland Rejects Proposal to Cap Population Swiss voters have rejected a proposal to cap the country's population at 10 million. The initiative, led by the right-wing Swiss People's Party, was seen as a move against migration. Preliminary results showed nearly 55% opposed the measure, with a turnout of almost 59%. Critics warned it could harm Switzerland's ties with the European Union. Switzerland isn't an EU member but is surrounded by EU countries. The proposal's defeat reflects ongoing debates about immigration in Europe. Swiss democracy allows voters to directly influence policy through referendums, highlighting the country's unique approach to governance (治理). That was the I.C.R.T.

Ministry is harder than it looks. Marriages fall apart. Leaders walk away. Good people quit. So how do you make it to the end?In this message from 1 Timothy 4, Pastor Jim walks through five things the Apostle Paul gives to a young pastor named Timothy to help him finish well — and they apply to every Christian, not just pastors.The big idea: train hard for godliness. Not to earn God's love. From it.In this message: • Why godliness requires intentional training (not just good intentions) • How to live intergenerationally and why it matters • What it means to immerse yourself in Scripture for the long game • How to discover and operate in your spiritual gifts • Why your perseverance isn't just about youIf you've ever felt like quitting — your faith, your marriage, your ministry — this one's for you.

Right now, debates are raging all across the professing Church as to what is, and is not, the role of women in the Church of Jesus Christ. Many of these heated discussions are really just people responding primarily from their feelings and prejudices rather than from the revealed word of God. Let the church honour faithful women without altering church office. Let men stop hiding from responsibility and qualify themselves for leadership. Let deacons be what Paul said they must be. Let women serve where God has placed them with joy, strength, and reward. And let the whole church bow to the final authority of the written word of God. Amen?

열린문장로교회 주일설교 - 약속의 땅을 향하여 - 박신일 목사(B2B Ministry 대표) by ODPC 열린문 장로교회

In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with[a] water, but in a few days you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit."

Major cities report sharp increases in departure tax refund transactions各大城市离境退税业务量大幅增长Chinese-made drones, smartphones, action cameras and designer toys are increasingly replacing tea, porcelain and panda-themed gifts on foreign tourists' shopping lists in China, as they increasingly seek innovative, higher-value products offering strong value for money, advanced features and models often unavailable abroad, according to customs authorities across the country.全国海关表示，外国游客在华购物清单中，国产无人机、智能手机、运动相机、潮流玩具正逐步取代茶叶、瓷器、熊猫周边礼品。如今他们更青睐创意足、附加值高的商品，这类产品性价比出众、功能先进，且很多款式在海外难以买到。Bolstered by the "Shopping in China" campaign and the growing popularity of the "China Travel" trend, customs authorities in major cities have reported sharp increases in departure tax refund transactions during the first five months, and expect the momentum to continue throughout the year.依托“购在中国”活动以及“中国游”热度持续攀升，各大城市海关数据显示，今年前五个月离境退税业务量大幅上涨，业内预计这一势头将贯穿全年。Customs officials at Nanjing Lukou International Airport in Jiangsu province verified 1,171 departure tax refund applications during the January-May period, covering tax-refundable goods worth 26.67 million yuan ($3.94 million), up 173.6 percent and 32.42 percent year-on-year, respectively, said Nanjing Customs.南京海关介绍，今年1至5月，江苏南京禄口国际机场海关共审核通过1171笔离境退税申请，退税商品总值达2667万元人民币（折合394万美元），同比分别增长173.6%和32.42%。Zhang Qian, a customs official at the airport, said that as departure tax refund transactions continue to rise, new trends are emerging in shopping preferences of foreign visitors.该机场海关工作人员张茜表示，随着离境退税业务不断增多，外国游客的购物偏好也出现了新趋势。"Chinese-made smart electronic products and trendy domestic cultural and creative goods have become increasingly popular among foreign travelers, attracting growing interest with their quality, innovation and distinctive Chinese appeal," said Zhang.她说道：“国产智能电子产品、新潮文创商品深受外国游客喜爱，凭借优良品质、创新设计和浓郁的中国特色收获了越来越多关注。”Hong Yang, another customs official at Ningbo Customs' airport branch in Zhejiang province shared similar views.浙江宁波海关机场办事处工作人员洪洋也持相同看法。"Fashion apparel, beauty products and premium lifestyle goods are also gaining traction among foreign travelers departing from Ningbo," she said.她表示：“时装、美妆产品以及高端生活日用品，也越来越受到从宁波离境的外国游客青睐。”Guan Lixin, a researcher specializing in marketing and consumption at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation in Beijing, said the shift in foreign visitors' purchasing patterns reflects how Chinese brands are moving up the value chain and gaining recognition among consumers worldwide. Many products also offer better value and a wider selection of models than those available overseas.北京商务部国际贸易经济合作研究院流通与消费研究所的研究员关利欣认为，外国游客消费偏好的转变，体现出中国品牌正迈向价值链高端，获得全球消费者认可。不少国产商品性价比更高，款式选择也比海外市场更丰富。Guan said the trend also highlights the growing appeal of shopping as part of the travel experience in China, with foreign visitors seeking unique products that combine practical value, cultural elements and memorable experiences.关利欣称，这一趋势也说明，购物已成为中国旅行体验中极具吸引力的一环，外国游客偏爱兼具实用性、文化特色且能留下美好回忆的特色商品。To further enhance the shopping experience for foreign visitors, the Shanghai municipal government recently rolled out a new departure tax refund program, introducing new measures such as upgraded end-to-end digital tax refund services and improved digital verification services at ports of departure.为进一步优化外国游客购物体验，上海市政府近期推出全新离境退税方案，升级全流程线上退税服务，并完善口岸线上核验等多项举措。Shanghai Customs processed 201,000 departure tax refund verification forms between January and May, with refund-eligible purchases totaling 1.92 billion yuan, up 300 percent and 62 percent year-on-year, respectively, underscoring the growing popularity of tax-free shopping among foreign visitors.今年1至5月，上海海关共审核20.1万份离境退税单据，退税消费总额达19.2亿元人民币，同比分别增长300%和62%，足以体现免税购物在外国游客中愈发受欢迎。In the Chinese capital, Beijing Customs verified 87,906 departure tax refund applications during the first five months, involving refund-eligible purchases worth 758 million yuan, up 612.42 percent and 53.13 percent year-on-year, respectively.首都北京方面，北京海关前五个月共审核通过87906笔离境退税申请，退税商品总额7.58亿元人民币，同比分别上涨612.42%和53.13%。In a further move to encourage spending by international travelers, the Ministry of Commerce and several other government departments unveiled a new departure tax refund program in May aimed at optimizing departure tax refund services and expanding inbound consumption.为进一步提振境外游客消费，商务部等多部门于5月发布全新离境退税相关方案，旨在优化退税服务、扩大入境消费规模。The policy package includes broader coverage of departure tax refund stores, paperless processing, enhanced refund-upon-purchase services and more efficient verification procedures.该系列政策包括扩大退税商店覆盖范围、推行无纸化办理、优化即买即退服务以及简化核验流程。The measures will make refund-upon-purchase services more convenient by enabling travelers to complete tax refund procedures at any eligible port of departure, said Yang Mu, director of the department of market operation and consumption promotion at the Ministry of Commerce.商务部市场运行和消费促进司司长杨沐表示，新规允许游客在任意合规离境口岸办理退税，将大幅提升即买即退服务的便捷度。transaction /trænˈzækʃn/交易；业务办理momentum /məˈmentəm/势头；发展趋势verification /ˌverɪfɪˈkeɪʃn/核验；审核premium /ˈpriːmiəm/高端的；优质的underscore /ˌʌndəˈskɔː(r)/强调；凸显unveil /ʌnˈveɪl/公布；推出（政策、方案）

Ministry is harder than it looks. Marriages fall apart. Leaders walk away. Good people quit. So how do you make it to the end?In this message from 1 Timothy 4, Pastor Jim walks through five things the Apostle Paul gives to a young pastor named Timothy to help him finish well — and they apply to every Christian, not just pastors.The big idea: train hard for godliness. Not to earn God's love. From it.In this message: • Why godliness requires intentional training (not just good intentions) • How to live intergenerationally and why it matters • What it means to immerse yourself in Scripture for the long game • How to discover and operate in your spiritual gifts • Why your perseverance isn't just about youIf you've ever felt like quitting — your faith, your marriage, your ministry — this one's for you.

Is El Salvador truly a Bitcoin paradise, or are banks winning the war? AsoBitcoin President Will Hernandez (@whbitcoin) reveals the truth about banking, taxes, and real estate.If El Salvador is the ultimate haven for financial freedom, why is it still an absolute nightmare for a Bitcoin company to open a simple savings account? There is a massive disconnect between political idealism and reality on the ground even though several years have passed since the historic bitcoin law entered into force. In this episode, Will Hernandez, President of the El Salvador Bitcoin Association (AsoBitcoin), joins us in the studio to pull back the curtain on what it actually takes to operate a business inside the first country to make Bitcoin an official legal tender.We tackle the legacy financial system because it represents the biggest battleground for business owners right now. Traditional Salvadoran banks are actively utilizing their legal right of refusal to lock out crypto startups, which proves that institutional hostility remains a major hurdle. To bypass this friction, we lay out a major three month challenge for the association to develop a sovereign tax framework alongside the government. If businesses can pay their corporate and payroll taxes entirely in Bitcoin via OTC intermediaries, entrepreneurs can finally opt out of the fiat system and achieve true corporate asset protection.International capital continues to flood into the country due to unprecedented corporate tax incentives. Will explains how international founders are completely restructuring their corporate balance sheets because El Salvador charges zero percent capital gains tax when you hold a digital asset in your corporate treasury. This unique tax exemption has triggered a massive boom in the local property market, and it has transformed the coastline into a global hotspot for real estate investment where buyers use specialized OTC desks to close deals entirely on a bitcoin standard.The grassroots movement is winning the long game through localized Bitcoin circular economies while legacy institutions stall. From surf towns like El Zonte to new tech hubs, communities are building a parallel economy where everyday users constantly refine the software UX. Will emphasizes that the next critical step involves structural education, and he is pushing the Ministry of Education to mandate Bitcoin literacy in private school curriculums so that the next generation natively understands sound money systems.El Salvador is already positioning itself for the next technological super-cycle by exploring the intersection of decentralized money and sovereign AI. The government is actively pushing its own officials to adopt these emerging technologies because it anticipates a future where autonomous AI agents use the Bitcoin network for automated machine-to-machine payments. This episode provides an unfiltered, boots-on-the-ground look at the triumphs, structural bottlenecks, and future of the ultimate macroeconomic experiment.If you enjoyed this episode and want to keep supporting open source freedom money, please make sure to subscribe to the channel, share this with a fellow Bitcoiner, and drop a comment below.

A second defence minister has resigned in protest at Keir Starmer's failure to fund Britain's armed forces. Al Carns, a former Royal Marines colonel, has followed John Healey out of the Ministry of Defence, warning that the government is letting down those in uniform – and taking aim at both the defence investment plan and Labour's handling of Northern Ireland veterans.Starmer has now appointed Dan Jarvis as Defence Secretary, but the brief increasingly looks like a poisoned chalice. With the Strategic Defence Review still unfunded, ministers sent out to defend a plan they have not seen, and the Prime Minister heading to the G7 and Nato summit under pressure, has Starmer's strongest claim to leadership – defence and foreign affairs – collapsed?James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman.Produced by Megan McElroy.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

In this conversation, Josh shares how his church is actively using AI across nearly every department—from sermon preparation and curriculum creation to operations, worship ministry, and discipleship. He offers a practical vision for how church leaders can use AI to reclaim time, reduce burnout, and focus more deeply on shepherding people.   Key Topics   AI in the church: fear vs. opportunity Josh argues that many church leaders are approaching AI with unnecessary fear. While concerns around ethics and implementation are valid, he sees AI primarily as a tool—one that can dramatically increase effectiveness while freeing leaders to focus on ministry. He believes churches that embrace these tools thoughtfully will be able to pastor more effectively, not less.   Why churches are historically slow to adopt technology Churches and nonprofits are often years behind the business world when it comes to adopting new technology. Josh believes AI is creating one of the largest technological shifts of our generation, and many church leaders risk missing opportunities simply because they haven't taken time to understand what's actually possible.   Scaling ministry without losing community One of the most intriguing ideas discussed is whether AI can help churches scale without sacrificing the personal connection that often disappears as organizations grow. Instead of hiring more specialists for every operational challenge, churches may soon be able to use AI systems to maintain consistency, communication, and care at a much larger scale.   AI as a team of specialists Rather than thinking of AI as a chatbot, Josh encourages leaders to think of it as an entire team of specialists available on demand. Administrative support, curriculum development, data analysis, planning, project management, and content creation can all be assisted by AI, allowing pastors to spend more time on teaching, discipleship, and relationships.   The future of church software The conversation explores how tools like Planning Center, HubSpot, Notion, Logos, MultiTracks, and other church software platforms will likely become deeply integrated with AI through technologies like APIs and Model Context Protocol (MCP). Instead of manually moving information between platforms, leaders will increasingly interact with a single AI layer that understands and works across their entire ministry ecosystem.   How Josh uses AI for sermon planning Josh shares his personal workflow for annual sermon planning and weekly sermon preparation. What once required multiple staff meetings and days of planning can now be completed in minutes. He uses AI to help organize ideas, structure teaching series, review theological themes, and accelerate sermon preparation while maintaining full ownership over theological convictions and final content.   Using AI without losing your voice One of the biggest concerns among pastors is whether AI will replace authentic preaching. Josh argues that AI works best as a collaborator rather than a creator. By training AI on previous sermons, theological frameworks, and ministry values, leaders can use it to refine and organize their ideas while still maintaining their unique voice and convictions.   Curriculum creation and discipleship workflows Vineyard uses AI extensively to create small group curriculum, discipleship resources, class materials, slide decks, teacher guides, and parent resources. Tools like NotebookLM help transform existing content into multiple formats, dramatically reducing preparation time while increasing consistency across ministries.   AI-powered worship ministry Worship and production teams are also leveraging AI. Josh and his worship pastor discuss using tools like Suno to create custom music, countdown tracks, and ministry-specific content. They also explore future possibilities for creating custom stems, backing tracks, and other resources that could significantly reduce production workload.   The ethics of AI and transparency Throughout the conversation, Josh emphasizes the importance of transparency. Leaders should be honest about where AI is assisting their work while recognizing that many forms of ministry have always involved collaboration, research assistance, editors, and support staff. The key is maintaining integrity while leveraging powerful new tools.   A leveling of the playing field for small churches Perhaps the most exciting implication is what AI means for under-resourced churches. Pastors who lack staff, consultants, formal training, or large budgets can now access tools that help bridge those gaps. Josh believes AI may become one of the most powerful ministry equalizers the Church has ever seen.   Notable tools mentioned   • Claude • ChatGPT • Gemini • NotebookLM • Planning Center • HubSpot • Notion • Logos Bible Software • Suno • Zapier • MultiTracks • Google Workspace   Key Quote   "Imagine if you could free up 15 hours of your week to spend more time making sure the people in your church who are most forgotten actually get seen."   • • • • •   Disclaimer: This video and description contain affiliate links.
