Why I’m Troubled by VP Pence’s Address to the SBC
I posted last night: https://www.facebook.com/chadcashby/posts/10100214343092212 Several friends and church members were curious why this late announcement from the leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention elicited such a strong response from me.

New Post at For The Church: “Three Essentials For Every Pastor’s Toolbox”
I’ve got a new post over at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary’s great resource For The Church about a topic that might interest curious church members. How does a pastor preach so many sermons in a year? As I’ve entered the ministry myself, I’ve come to realize preaching is not one-size-fits-all. Depending on the setting, the audience,ContinueContinue reading “New Post at For The Church: “Three Essentials For Every Pastor’s Toolbox””
