Before getting to this week’s Top 10 List, I want to remind you of a deal my friends at Ministry Deal are currently running. All church leaders know of the importance of the weekly Giving Talk.
Just in case you are unfamiliar with the term, the Giving Talk is the moment in the church service just prior to the receiving that week’s financial contributions. This particular announcement usually consists of either a story, statistic, or Scripture verse. It usually takes several hours for presenters to construct these brief speeches.
In an effort to relieve stress and make pastors’ and church staff’s time more efficient and free them up from this burden, Ministry Deal is offering 52 done-for-you Giving Scripts for only $97. Think about it, how much does it cost you in just man-hours alone to write just one Giving Script, much less an entire year’s worth? This is a no-brainer offer.

The Top 60 Leadership Quotes From 2021 Part 1 is my latest ebook. For many entering a post-pandemic environment, leadership looks completely different than the pre-pandemic world. People are more broken now. They are more uncertain. Fear and anxiousness are unwelcome constant companions. Cultures are more unhealthy. Relationships are more dysfunctional. Hope seems to be in short supply. Every day seems to bring a new hacking, natural disaster, or unexpected calamity.
Therefore, the fundamentals of leadership are more important than ever. The quotes in this book deal with the basics of leadership. If you want to be the best leader you can possibly be, click HERE or on the image provided to download this FREE resource.
