In Pivot Now, Chuck Bomar delivers a bold, urgent reminder for ministry leaders: God’s mission will outlast the methods you love. Culture has shifted beneath our feet, yet many ministries continue operating as if it hasn’t… and the cost is growing. This book...

In my book, I show how mature followers of Christ who are winning at life are similar to the big brother of the prodigal son (Elder Son of Luke 15). One of the challenges I address is pride. Pride happens automatically in the absence of humility. Pride is the primary preventer of receiving wisdom from the Lord. Another challenge to elder sons and daughters I address is handling the limelight. Many mature Christians can lose their Christian character when exposed to the limelight. One of the most important topics I address is staying motivated after achieving your dream.

Non solo per tutto il bene che ha fatto, ma perché era – proprio come tutti i santi - un credente. Credeva che nella vita ci fosse Qualcuno più grande di lui, Qualcuno a guidarlo, ad aiutarlo ogni giorno. Se lo osservassi da ...
