Don’t let COVID crash your Christmas plans! Today the guys break down some ways they are considering busting through the COVID19 Blues and making the best of what can be done for outreach at Christmas time. Check this one out for some hope, help and encouragement and of course a few laughs!
How can you make the best of the Covid regulations?
But what if you can’t do anything at all? Like no public gathering, no public events etc.
You might just have to dust off something that seems like it won’t work, something from the past. We encourage you to try something. Take your five loaves and two fish and give it to God and see what he will make of it.

How to cultivate thankfulness
The Relentless Encourager by Mark Hallock and Scott Iken
Best Hallock Quote of the Show:
“Many of us have encouraging thoughts, but we don’t let those translate into encouraging words. Until encouragement flows from my tongue to your ear it’s not encouragement. It’s just a nice thought that you had that no one is blessed by.” -Mark Hallock
What keeps us from encouraging others?
Being an effective leader in a small dying church is different than serving in a large church, this is why warmth, hugs, encouragement and healthy touch are important to bring about a new culture.
In the early days of a Replant-just about everyone is discouraged! It so important to be an encourager!
Notable Quotes from Mark:
“What you bleed as a leader, is what your people will bleed in time.”
“The culture of a dying church is changed by the encouragement and love of the leader.”
“You can’t fake being a loving encouraging person for long! You need to beg God to make you an encouraging person.”
“The lack of encouragement is robbing you and others of joy!”
“Being an encourager is like Christmas everyday!”
