[...] Steve Weaver, pastor of West Broadway Baptist Church, has a helpful series on blogging and pastoral minstry. [...]
Steve:
I have enjoyed your posts and your blog as a whole.
I am curious how you balance preparation for Sunday morning and evening without giving short shrift to either (especially sunday pm). I have been in ministry seven years now and have yet to find a method or study plan that I have felt comfortable with long-term. In Bible College and in seminary only one method was presented to me and that is not always effective.
I would like to know how you (and perhaps your readers) do it.
i enjoyed reading through your blog! thanks
