Happy Friday, everyone! Yesterday’s post went somewhat viral – here’s the link in case you missed the post about the importance of having a Christian education director on church staff. I’m thankful that so many people are talking about the significant contributions a Minister of Education can have on the discipleship of God’s people.

Fridays on the blog are all about giving you some links to great content from people I trust. I hope you’ll enjoy reading them over the weekend.

Please pray for the people of Houston, Texas and all those affected by Hurricane Harvey.

Shoulder to shoulder,

Ken Braddy
