NEW! Beyond the Standard - Integrity in a Shifting Culture

Beyond the Standard is a monthly program for church leaders, sponsored by Christian Standard Magazine. Christian Standard contributors offer perspectives that go beyond what's printed each month and invite you to openly particpate in the discussion. Let's grow together through conversation and connection! This month join: George Ross, minister, Northside Christian Church (New Albany, IN): "God has called us to reach and serve people with messy lives. George tells how he's living out this challenge in his ministry." Tim Harlow, senior pastor, Parkview Christian Church (Orland Park, IL): "Tim saw Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy's invitation to spend time with gay activist Shane Windmeyer and said 'I think that's what Jesus would do'. Would we?" Brian Mavis, executive director, The Externally Focused Network: "Are our ministries, programs, and activities merely transactional or are they transformational? How do we plan and lead ministries that impact lives instead of just filling the church calendar?" Each of these speakers has written about these topics in the May issue of Christian Standard Magazine which you can find at www.christianstandard.com.
