Only Four days until the Q&A for The Shepherd's Handbook. If you can't join us in person, feel free to watch the stream on youtube. Remember that you can submit follow-up questions at any time during the first portion of the event between 10A-12P using the same instructions below. All follow-up questions will try to be addressed from 1P-2P. Thanks again!
We are pleased to announce a live-streamed Q&A for The Shepherd's Handbook! This is an opportunity to submit questions about the book and hear the author address them in a focused, thoughtful setting.
The purpose of this Q&A is to move from study into practical application, exploring how the biblical principles discussed in the book can inform and strengthen godly eldership within our churches. The Shepherd’s Handbook represents nearly two years of collective study at Christ's Church of Connersville, and this discussion is intended to help us thoughtfully work through the next steps together.
While this Q&A is taking place at Christ’s Church and is designed primarily for our congregation, all questions are welcome and will be addressed as time allows.
