From the Stewardship Journal Team
Mark Brooks, The Stewardship Coach, begins his column with this statement, “The Senior Pastor is my biggest challenge in helping churches build a culture of generosity.” He then goes on to share why pastors and staff must be involved in the stewardship process with a post entitled The Importance of the Pastoral Lane. You’ll find his thoughts helpful as you review your commitment to stewardship.
The Bonus Section is meant to give practical advice, and this post, entitled How to Develop a Pastoral Lane, gives you easy, practical steps for developing your own Pastoral Lane.
Our final post carries on the theme of the Pastoral Lane of stewardship with a post entitled Why Pastors Neglect Stewardship. The post is an excerpt from the book The Top Ten Stewardship Mistakes Churches Make and focuses on how pastors are often disconnected from the stewardship process and why.
