The summer is usually a time when people vacation and generally pull themselves away from their typical schedules. Sadly, this is often reflected in their spiritual lives also. During the summer church members are less engaged and involved in community life at their church.
Summer church attendance reflects this well. In response to the summer lull, many pastors and leaders become lax on intentional discipleship strategies. But what would happen if we redeemed the summer for gospel growth and mission? What would happen if the local church did not waste its summer?
Over the next month The Gospel Project has asked several church leaders and practitioners to supply us with blog posts that provide encouragement and ideas for engaging people during the summer for spiritual growth and missional living. As each blog is posted, the links will appear below.
- Todd Engstrom: Small Group Leader, Don’t Waste Your Summer!
- Trillia Newbell: Women, Don’t Waste Your Summer!
- Aaron Armstrong: Family, Don’t Waste Your Summer!
- Eric Mason: Husband and Father, Don’t Waste Your Summer!
- Ben Trueblood: Student Pastor, Don’t Waste Your Summer!
- Jamie Ivey: Mom, Don’t Waste Your Summer!
- Michael Kelley: Men, Don’t Waste Your Summer!
- Josh Cousineau: Parent, Don’t Waste Your Summer!
- Andy McLean: Youth Minister, Don’t Waste Your Summer!
- Matt Capps: Pastor, Don’t Waste Your Summer!
