Pastor Rob Flood is the author of the book,
With These Words: Five communication tools for marriage and life. Pastor Flood and his wife, Gina, recently visited Focus on the Family to talk about how pastors must maintain a balance between family life and ministry. |
Let us consider fatigue in ministry, that we might keep our integrity before God and people. We should resist the idea that we are so important to God that we cannot afford to rest and let others do the work of ministry as well. |
A key position every church needs is that one person or a team that is in charge of handling cases of suspected abuse. That person needs to be trained in reporting the abuse and supporting the child. Everyone in the church should know that this is the person to bring any suspicion or knowledge of abuse. By using the mandated reporter hotline (1-800-4-A-CHILD), this person can also follow up with CPS on the progress of the case. |
This summer, Focus on the Family will launch “The Focused Pastor™,” a free content and services platform for local churches. The platform includes pastor/church leader content and resources; marriage and parenting assessments; family help and content for church leaders to help families; and curriculum and bible study tools and event/community outreach resources.
