Happy Friday the 13h … nothing freaky or scary happening here except our usual list of what we’ve found useful on the ol’ inter-webs. Take a look and be encouraged.

Ministry Spark started what a series on navigating a hyper-anxious world. It reads, “So, I’m calling you today to be a good shepherd for the people God has put in your path for such a time as this.” All 6 parts are available and helpful for ministry leaders and pastors.

Desiring God had a post about waiting and how to do it well. it says, “And as we wait through trials in a God-honoring way, rejoicing and praising through the pain and heartache, those around us learn more about the God who is righteous, merciful, and good.” This is a hard season for us all, lean into God’s character and find hope in your waiting.

Greg Baird had a post focus. He says, “Those that can master the art of focus will find a pathway to greater productivity, greater influence, and greater success.” The post lists 7 ways to stay focused, from removing distractions to limiting your to do list. This is a great post for those of you who are like me and have “undiagnosed ADD”.
