Mindy Kaling has lived many lives: the obedient child of immigrant professionals, a timid chubster afraid of her own bike, a Ben Affleck–impersonating Off-Broadway performer and playwright, and, finally, a comedy writer and actress prone to starting fights with her friends and coworkers with the sentence “Can I just say one last thing about this, and then I swear I’ll shut up about it?”

At the end of his earthly ministry, Jesus commissioned his followers to embrace a way of life making disciples. He extends that mission to us―a way of life rooted in relationship, focused on mutual growth, intentionality, and transformation as we follow Jesus together. Sadly, the activities and events that dominate many churches too often become an end in themselves and actually distract from discipleship. The Great Commission drifts out of focus of the whole church and becomes outsourced to a spiritual elite.

Your church's sermons often include a call to evangelize. You've held evangelism training events. You give out invites to your Christmas and Easter services. So… where are all the new Christians? Is your church actually reaching the lost with the gospel? For many of us, despite having the best intentions our churches struggle to reach out with the gospel effectively. J.A. Medders and Doug Logan, Jr. have decades of experience in leading churches and mentoring pastors, and here they outline six principles for cultivating a genuine evangelistic culture throughout your church.

Gigmentia is a reflection on the raw, challenging, and gritty vocation of a blue-collar musician living in the Pacific Northwest, and the varied adventures of a hard working, day-in day-out rock band. Introspective, insightful, and eloquently observed, Michael B. Koep chronicles a summer season of fifty rock shows performed in small clubs, huge bars, and on outdoor festival stages, in barns, backyards, and the middle of the woods.

This story is inspired by true events based on the life of Michael B. Blacc (as Kamar Washington) and T.N.M. (as Joaquin Parker). T.N.M. is the real-life beloved friend of Michael B. Blacc. When We Were Boys - Book I heavily concentrates on the life of T.N.M. Joaquin Parker escapes from Brooklyn after a gruesome fight that hopefully puts an end to his traumatic past. He is on board a plane, flying to Atlanta to get help from his Aunt Emilia. On the flight, he is fated to meet a man named Kamar Washington.

Aunt Emilia calls Kamar to reveal shocking news as he is battling his murky past. He has to face the atrociousness of the days gone by to find solace in his present ones. When We Were Boys, Book II starts with Young Kamar being separated from his mentally ill guardian, supposedly for his own good. But even after that, Kamar has yet to know what “good” seems like. He has yet to know what a real and loving family feels like — because all he knew was a dysfunctional and nightmarish one. The one that just might shove you in front of a moving vehicle then leave you for dead.

The church used to be recognised as a force for good, but this is changing rapidly. Christians are now often seen as the bad guys, losing both respect and influence. In our post-Christian culture, how do we offer the gospel to those around us who view it as not only wrong but possibly dangerous? And how do we ensure that the secular worldview does not entice us away with its constant barrage, online and elsewhere, of messages about self-determinism?

Er sog den Atem ein. Sein Herz schlug ruhig und gleichmäßig, nur sein Gesicht und die Kehle schmerzten beinahe unerträglich. Er lauschte dem ungewohnten Geräusch, das durch seinen wieder warmen Körper pochte, und spürte etwas Feuchtes, Salziges, das über seine Wangen bis zu den Mundwinkeln und weiter rann. Er brauchte nur Stunden, wofür andere Tagen und Wochen benötigt hatten.
