If Only the Church Could be This Re-Inventive
What if we re-invented some cool things in the church… what would it look like? Maybe an offering plate that cured world hunger? A weekend service that actually challenged and changed lives? I’d love a worship leader that gave backrubs like that cop as well. What are your...

It’s coming to TLC sometime soon. The network has signed a contract to produce a show called “Preacher Wives” that will follow the wives of preachers in the Atlanta area. “With most praise in religious communities directed towards male preachers, we are thrilled to give these remarkable ladies the spotlight they crave and deserve”.
