Large churches in the South tend to pay their senior pastors the highest salaries, a new survey finds.

Is your story good? Or is it exceptional?

This is the type of question Ed Catmull, one of the founders of Pixar, asks in his book titled Creativity, Inc. The book is part memoir telling the stories behind one of the most creative companies of our time. But the book is also part challenge to become exceptional.

So . . . you want your church to grow, right?

When I ask ministry leaders whether they want to see growth, almost every leader I’ve ever talked to says "yes."

And most churches that start small stay small. Why?

Evangelical books and other resources that address youth ministry usually do so without much reference to the pluralism and multifaith context of America and the West. Len Kageler’s volume, Youth Ministry in a Multifaith Society, fills a much-needed void in this area.

When they burst through the door, she barely moved. He expected her to react, but she didn’t. Chaos began to build around her as she slowly reached for her dress to cover her nakedness. She brushed the hair away from her brow and twisted it around her right shoulder to fall to one side.

As she looked down to slip on her sandals, a jerk on her arm sobered her. As if someone had yanked out the morphine IV, she flinched and pulled away. As violent words slammed against her and calloused hands clenched her arm, panic began to wash over her. Tears crept to the surface and fear engulfed her.

We’re all messed up. Yes, I know, that’s not a very positive statement to make. Some might suspect I’m a pessimist with a glass-half-empty perspective on life. I would argue that I’m a realist with a biblical worldview.
