12 Nov Worth the Read – November 12, 2016

Who would have thought this week would have turned out the way it did? I think it’s safe to say that the majority of Americans – pollster, pundits and people alike – thought our next president would be Hillary Clinton. Surprise! Our president-elect is Donald J. Trump. That reality is going to change a lot of positions and policies – I pray for the good – in the years to come. I’ve included several politically-themed posts from this week to give some context, and then some really important and practical posts for ministry leaders. Enjoy! Be blessed and be a blessing.
