RELATIONSHIFT WEBINAR // SEP 12, 12:00PM CENTRAL // RIGHTNOW VIRTUAL TRAINING
Relationships are central to Jesus’s model of discipleship. Yet many church leaders find themselves lonely, exhausted, and lacking the kind of relationships Jesus encouraged. How do we change this?
Church leaders can beat loneliness and burnout by focusing on relational discipleship—not only in their congregations but in their own lives, too.
In this free one-hour webinar, author and senior pastor Jim Putman will discuss how church leaders can cultivate authentic relational discipleship in their lives and ministries. You’ll learn practical steps to help you shift your focus away from discipleship programs and toward authentic discipleship relationships.
While these programs can be useful, discipleship is really about the relationships that come out of programs. When church leaders live connected lives of fellowship, they provide a model for their ministries to follow, resulting in a church that grows effectively. Click the above icon to register.

SERVING LOVE IN THE COMMUNITY
@revivecommunitycare recently had the awesome opportunity to collaborate with the Forrest Hill Spanish SDA Church teaching them how to begin a food pantry of their own for their community. There are so many different ways to serve others and thanks to the generosity of our @arlingtonsda members, we were able to guide and support the members of a sister church who also endeavor to show love to their neighbors. There is no greater reminder that we are all part of the family of God, than when we can partner together to be the hands and feet of Jesus! —Pastor @heidicjackson
I LOVE ❤️ OUR CHURCH!
Story Time: Last weekend @ygchurch we used Legos to illustrate a passage in Ephesians that conveys how Jesus is building GOD’s home 🏠 within all of us together, “brick by brick.” In the final anthem our YGers assembled their Legos into a house live on the spot.
It was particularly moving to me to see us all—different ages, backgrounds, perspectives—coming together to build a home where GOD lives in us, together.
“You’re no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He’s using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he’s using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home.”
–Ephesians 2:19b-22 [Message]
