“Ministering Throug the Holidays”

HOST: Robert Hatfield

GUEST: Barry Gilreath, Jr.

 

Show Notes:

* Discussion Points:

* In what ways do people sometimes hurt during the holidays?

* What is the church’s responsibility to those who hurt?

* Job encountered “miserable comforters,” what do we need to avoid saying or doing so we don’t magnify their pain?

* How can we reach out to people who are hurting during the holidays? Is reaching out to them always the best thing to do?

* Are hope and hurt antagonistic toward each other?

* What if I, as a preacher, am hurting during the holidays? What can I do?

* ANNOUNCEMENT: Preachers in Training will be off next week for Christmas break. We’ll return January 2, Lord willing, for our annual resolutions episode.
