Interviewing Leadership at a Local Church

The principles are for continual growth and elevation for Christians. The instructions in The Bible are not only for guidance is a comforting and strengthening agent. Given this statistic, this could be an additional reason why God created mankind in His image to take part in on other wonderful helpful contributions. Highlighting the difference between a secular worldview and a biblical worldview, the incorporation of belief and doctrine, theories of vocation and efforts for living righteously is proven to be an influential lifesaving

In the Christian community, every single person plays an important role in making the community as safe and caring as possible. One of the most vital beliefs of a Christian is that we are all equal, so we when we are called to serve and help each other, we should obey. This call, although we may hear it at different times and see it in different ways, the call comes to everyone. We may have different understanding of the call, or we may even conflicting ideas of how to answer this call, but in the end, every single idea is important.

An ungodly, hateful, ruthless place to live for many people. Wars, famine, disease, greed, murder, rape, drug trafficking, child molestation, and more have led to the continual downfall of society. The most prevalent of all is greed. The love of money is the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:10 NIV). A Christian Worldview could help tremendously with all of these problems. If humankind were to keep God in the center of their lives and follow His teachings every day, the world would be such a better place. Following Christ’s Word helps humanity to care for one another. It instills the importance to be humble, to serve, to love and take care of one another (Hiles & Smith, 2015). The image of God can be seen in those who follow Him. Christians get their strength from God. He gives peace to those who seek Him, and they are

Through my passions and experiences with people, as well as study, I am convinced that God has given me the desire and gifts to serve Him through discipling others. Ideally, I plan to work with young adults as they commonly need, and want, answers to questions of identity, truth, apologetics, and relationships, with Jesus and others. These are all things I am passionate about. I am committed to helping others experience God’s love, nurture their spiritual development, enable them to discover their spiritual gifts, and equip them for effective

As a church we have misappropriated the level of judgement dispensed. We understand that all have sinned and that true discipleship requires accountability and discipline, however, the indubitable level must be delivered in a humble and nonjudgemental manner. We must realize the greatest impact for change is empathy, compassion and action. The only way to ensure the action is effective, one must first hear what the people feel as though their issues are. Next we must remove ourselves from a hypocritical place of judgement so that we can full understand and

Many people believe that that the motivation of the Christian church is to radically “change the world”. However, through his book To Change The World, James Davison Hunter explains how this common believe is a misconception. Rather, he shows readers that, from a sociological perspective, while Christians thrive in many areas of life by reaching others individually, they fundamentally components of creating cultural change.

Here are some examples. Nurses care for the sick, showing compassion to their patients. Pastors preach a sermon to encourage their congregation. The choirs sing a song to speak life over people’s circumstances. Volunteers do mission projects and community service to meet new people while supplying resources to the poor. One final example is that leaders in the church manage different ministries without pastors stressing to take care of every ministry. Without these types of services, the Church cannot function. With God’s help, we raise saints in the Church to spread the Gospel in various ways. Therefore, saints cannot just know their gifts; they need to understand how their gift functions in God’s Kingdom and in the generation. As a result, they recognize that their ministry matters to God, exemplifying Christ-like virtues in the world.

The term “Culture" can have many varying meanings, traditionally, it is thought of as the shared beliefs, traditions, religious practices and values of an ethnic group; or the beliefs, customs, practices, and social behavior of a particular nation or people. Culture can also be defined as people with shared beliefs and practices: or a group of people whose shared beliefs and practices identify the particular place, class, or time (era) to which they belong. It can also be defined as the shared attitudes or particular set of attitudes that can characterize an ethnic or religious group of people. Culture is also art, music,

This summer I had the opportunity to intern at a global non-profit organization called Bethany Christian Services. Bethany Christian Services is located in 36 states and works in many countries around the world; I worked at the Grand Rapids, MI office, which concentrates on providing refugee services. I initially applied to be the Cuban employment specialist assistant and came in for an interview with an open mind, but that is not what happened. The interview was horrible: I did not speak spanish which was required nor did I corrected the interviewer when she thought I was fluent in Swahili. I was confident I did not get the job, would get referred to be an intern for other employers, or would have to decline the job offer because I did not speak swahili. Nevertheless, I received a call from Adier Deng the African employment specialist a week later was hired through the phone. I was baffled, immediately clarifying that I did not speak Swahili which he did not seem to mind.

The author concludes that Christians are to live faithfully by the values of the bible. As members of society, we are expected to play a critical role in in our community rather than isolating ourselves from those opposed to Christian worldviews. There are ways for Christians to live out their faith, but still remain active parts in the community.

Christ is the central person in Christian discipleship. Without Christ, Christianity would not exist and there would be no followers of Christ. To be true followers of Christ, believers must be willing to learn of the ways and teachings of Christ. Christ is central to Christian discipleship because He is the teacher of His disciples. Through the Holy Spirit and Word of God, Jesus Christ calls His disciples to Him and then

The second thing that stood out to me is that I am more like the allies. I see the value in prayer, but also see the value in seeking therapy when the need arises. This does not make me weak, nor does it diminish my faith. I feel that it makes my faith stronger because I am no longer surrounded by self-doubt and can concentrate on my well-being and my faith.

I try to do my best to live my like Jesus did.  I want to help others and

Jesus Christ sought to improve the individual, the component of society, and as result, his teaching ideally aims to advance the well-being of society as a whole. The four Gospels and the book of Acts thoroughly demonstrate the extensive sociological knowledge that was present in Jesus’ teaching. His message facilitates personal reform, rather than change in the social structure alone. Although Jesus establishes the church as a social institution, he does so, only after a number of individuals become his followers.

My Catholic School leadership experience stems from years of being involved in my diocese, first as a student, then as an employee and then as a mother who raised and educated three children in that diocese. I am a firm supporter of Catholic education as I have experienced the benefits that only a Christ centered learning environment can provide as a student, parent and educator.
