We are all guilty of getting so caught up in our daily lives that we lose sight of all that God has blessed us with. It almost seems second nature to unintentionally allow stress to control us. The truth is, as a result of God’s unconditional love, we are all so blessed. Hopefully, this is a small reminder to stop and reflect on the never ending love and blessing that comes from Almighty God. Make sure to click on the audio bar below for today’s program.
Real Time in the Marketplace
In 1997, our next guest was interviewing for a lead pastor position at a church when he realized that their fellowship had some unresolved issues that needed to be dealt with. He recommended that they slow down their search for a pastor and consider an interim pastor to help get them on a firm foundation. They took him up on the offer. In time, he was able to help several churches with similar situations. He found that he was not alone in this type of ministry when he met the people at Interim Pastor Ministries. Today, Tom Harris is the Executive Director for this ministry. They have one-hundred and forty-five pastors on staff and over the years, they have helped over one-thousand churches.

Have you noticed it’s not always easy to admit when you’re wrong? For some reason, the words “you’re right, I was wrong” are some of the most difficult to speak in the English language. Unfortunately, the inability to apologize has separated not only friends, loved-ones, but also churches. Why is that important to our communities? Well today, Jim Fleming of Interim Pastor Ministries shares his personal experience with church conflict and God’s provision.
