| Traction is a 6-day experience designed to encourage global workers serving cross-culturally. It is different than any other kind of conference. It isn't about filling notebooks or honing leadership skills. It's about living as single men, husbands, fathers, leaders, and as guys who deal with tremendous stresses cross-culturally. It is focused on helping men navigate their roles to regain spiritual footing and momentum to move forward. This year Traction will be on September 13-19 in Switzerland. To learn more, click here: |

| Growing up in a "churched community" in southern Indiana afforded many great cultural memories. Our church always did some kind of Easter "event." Some years, we would do a "30 Pieces of Silver Campaign" to raise funds for the building or a family in need. Other years, we would do an "Easter Cantata." I asked Gail (Brigada co-editor) if her church had ever done a cantata, and, sadly, she looked back with a confused look. She wondered if "cantata" was a Spanish word. hahahaha (So sorry. I guess not all southern Indiana churches practiced the same cultural behaviors.) We looked it up and, it turns out, the word does come from Italian, "sung." (To her credit, Spanish has a similar participle. haha) It prompted me to wonder what might your memories be? |

In today’s Barna Highlight, we’re sharing another bite-sized finding you can use to become a more informed leader.
If you want people in your church to look for opportunities to disciple other Christians, consider telling them that.
Some Christians who aren’t making disciples seem only to need a push. One in four says the practice of discipling others hasn’t been suggested to them (24%) or they haven’t thought about helping someone grow closer to God (22%).
If you’re ready to discover how God can use discipleship to nurture a resilient faith in you and the people you love, we encourage you to read the full book.
This week only, you can save 20% on this report with promo code GROW22!
