Good Enough: Embracing the Imperfections of Life and Faith

 

Good Enough:
Embracing the Imperfections of Life and Faith

 

We live in a culture bent on definitions of a good life as continuous upward mobility–climbing ladders of prosperity with increasingly fabulous experiences that we can post to ever-more-likable social media accounts. We may comb the shelves of the self-help section in search of just the right formula to gain success. Perhaps we even gravitate towards spiritual leaders who promise great rewards if we only do “the right thing.” But life happens, right? Most times we are not moving upward but trying to repair the rung we’ve just slipped from. So what if we stopped climbing and started fertilizing, watering, and blooming right where we find ourselves? Welcome to a Lent of affirming a faith in which we are blessed, regardless, and where we can lean into embracing our “good enough” lives.

Equipping Small Churches to Connect with 21st Century Followers (Part 2)
Small churches with worship attendance of 75 people or less often have a smaller pool of volunteers to pull from and fewer financial resources to buy expensive equipment and programs. It is important for churches to build up their digital presence, first with a church website then with social media profiles. In today's tech centered world, the choice of having a website and social media presence is not an "either/or" situation. It's a "both/and" proposition. Another simple way small churches can connect is through live streaming. When done effectively, live streaming is a great tool to connect with your church and the surrounding community. Read more: https://kansasdisciples.org/equipping-small-churches-pt-2/
