Pastors, Community, and Accountability
Ben Marshall
While knowing his community is vital to the pastor, it is just as vital to allow the community to know him. He must not only feed his flock, but his flock must feed him. He must not only pray for his flock, but he must let his flock pray for him. He must not only care for his flock, but he must let it care for him. He must not only counsel his flock, but he must allow it to counsel him. He must not only remind his flock of the Gospel, but he must listen for Gospel reminders from the flock.

Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy
Mark Vroegop
Exploring how the Bible — through the psalms of lament and the book of Lamentations — gives voice to our pain, this book invites us to grieve, struggle, and tap into the rich reservoir of grace and mercy God offers in the darkest moments of our lives.
MINISTRY YOU SHOULD KNOW

As a pastor, you see the confusion. You feel the tension. And you want to lead your church with faith — not fear. Just as Jesus multiplied a small offering to feed thousands, we believe God can use this one documentary to spark extraordinary impact — starting with you and your church. Truth Rising is more than a film. It’s a tool to help you boldly stand for truth, disciple your people, and reach a confused world with clarity and hope.
