Church is so much more than just being in the building on Sunday morning to hear the pastor preach. One of the great parts of being a member of the local body of believers is the opportunity to gather together throughout the week for continued growth and fellowship. It is also a great way to get out into the community. This week Dusty and Elizabeth discuss launching small group studies throughout the week as a way for the members of the church to fellowship and grow together. They also discuss ways to be reaching out to the community to fill needs on little to no budget.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and join us as we discuss ways to launch small group ministries and how to reach out to the community with the resources you have.

It's no secret that people are always busy. This is no exception for ministry life. Sometimes in order to ensure that everything is handled the way it needs to be handled a little bit of planning ahead is necessary. When it comes to making sure your family is eating healthy, well balanced meals in a timely manner planning ahead is imperative. This week Elizabeth shares her meal planning method that helps to ensure the family is eating well and the budget is staying in check.
On the other side of the microphone Dusty shares some resources he has used to help make his job in ministry more manageable. Dusty shares how he uses e-books and audiobooks to get his daily does of reading done. He also shares how he finds time to be poured into through the use of sermon podcasts throughout the week so he isn't trying to pour into his congregation from an empty vessel.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and join us as we discuss ways and resources we use to help make life flow a little easier.

Distractions are all around us. We live in a world where we are instantly connected to so many things around us and sometimes it is hard to take our eyes off the social media news feeds, the instant messages, and the funny or heartwarming videos right at our finger tips. But sometimes we have to stop, evaluate, and refocus in order to accomplish the tasks set out before us. This week Dusty and Elizabeth talk about some of the things they are distracted by (hello Facebook) and how they work to combat that in order to ensure they are living out a life that is glorifying to God. Refocusing isn't always easy but with a bit of help and some intentionality it can be done.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea, silence social media, and join us as we discuss some of the things that distract us and how we can work to combat those distractions.

"Bigger is better."
"You have to have that Wow factor."
These are phrases that are heard a lot but sometimes that is just not the case at all. Sometimes, especially in a church replant, trying to do the job God has called you to do requires a "less is more" kind of attitude. Same goes for finding ways and time to connect with your spouse in meaningful and significant ways. This week Dusty and Elizabeth talk about some of the simple things that they have done to stay connected with church members, move the ministry forward, and stay connected with one another. Sometimes the big, extravagant, fancy, and expensive methods aren't always the best used to get the job done.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and join us as we discuss some of the simple yet effective tools to stay connected with church members as well as with your spouse.

People are relational. That is how we are created, but sometimes it is necessary to set boundaries in order to ensure safe, healthy interactions. The problem is sometimes it can be really difficult to know when and where to set those healthy boundaries. This week Dusty and Elizabeth talk about the importance of setting boundaries both in your marriage and in the ministry. They talk about some of the pitfalls to avoid while doing so also. Setting boundaries isn't always the easiest thing to do but when it is done well and with a loving heart and mind set everyone benefits in the long run.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and join us as we discuss setting healthy boundaries in all the areas of our lives.

We are only 2 weeks into 2021 and it has already been a year for the history books. The pandemic still rages on and now what lawmakers and news outlets can only describe as an attempted coup has taken place right here in America. To say that emotions have run high over the last few days would be and understatement. Far to often in ministry and in marriage we like to pretend that everything is just fine and we hide or bottle up our emotions and feelings. But the truth is that is neither helpful nor healthy. This week Dusty and Elizabeth talk about being real and authentic with ourselves, with our family, and with our congregations as we attempt to navigate the confusion, frustration, hurt, and fears that we are all experiencing while remembering that God is still on the throne and God is still in control.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and join us as we discuss being real and authentic with the people around us in 2021.

Happy 2021! The new year is officially here. This week Dusty and Elizabeth dive in to the difficult topic of Spiritual Drought. Let's be honest, we all long to be as close to God as we can possibly get. We want to know we are walking hand in hand with the Lord, but the truth is at some point everyone goes through a season of spiritual dryness. These are the moments that we just don't really feel God's presence. We don't hear God's voice. We have little to no motivation to read the Word, pray, or even attend church or other gatherings with our brothers and sisters in Christ. These seasons are hard but when you make the conscious choice to continue on, one step at a time, day by day in time the season will end. This week Dusty and Elizabeth talk about some times in their lives they have dealt with spiritual dryness and how they found themselves coming out on the other side.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and join us as we discuss walking through a season of spiritual drought.

Happy New Year. After the year that has been 2020 it is almost hard to believe that the end is drawing near. Last week Dusty and Elizabeth discussed the importance and the process of goal setting for the new year for personal, marriage, and family growth and development. This week they turn their focus to the church. They discuss the importance of setting goals for the local church body as well as how to incorporate the other leaders and members of the congregation. Though there is no one size fits all, cookie cutter mold for how to go about goal setting the one thing that is most important when planning ahead, both short and long term, is ensuring that the decisions that are being made are wholly glorifying to God.
Grab a cup of hot chocolate and join us as we discuss goal setting for the local church for the coming year.
