What can Michael Jordan teach us about working together?

Even the greatest players don’t win championships alone. The same is true in ministry. We’re not meant to work in isolation or compete with one another. We’re called to support each other, share what we have, and work together to advance the Gospel.

We’ve been working on something new to bring pastors closer together.
Less scattered. More connected.

Coming tomorrow.

We’ve been working behind the scenes on something new for First Coast Churches. We’re not quite ready to tell you what it is…

But we can tell you why we built it:
Because ministry is better when we do it together.

October 22.
Something new is coming.

If you don’t tell your calendar what to do, it’ll tell you what to do.

In this episode of the Don’t Pastor Alone Podcast, Bob and JimBo talk about block calendaring, how to plan your week around your priorities, and how to avoid letting ministry demands take over every open space.

They also walk through the First Coast Churches block calendar template you can start using this week.
