Joyce Meyer is one of the most popular Christian personalities
in the world and her influence is growing rapidly. With sermons on
receiving emotional healing, overcoming the past, freedom from
condemnation, and more, Joyce Meyer has grown from an associate pastor
at a local St. Louis church to a world wide speaker, author, and
conference host. As evidence of this immense influence, the Joyce Meyer
ministry now has a daily television program that can be seen by upwards
of 2.5 billion people worldwide. In addition, the ministry has a radio
program that is available on hundreds of stations throughout North
America. Furthermore, Joyce Meyer conferences and seminars are well
attended both in America and abroad. The ministry, which once began in
the basement of a home, now requires hundreds of employees and millions
of dollars a month to operate. However, Joyce Meyer’s life is
not the story of a women born into success. Rather, it is the story of
a life which began amidst horrid parental abuse by her father and
continued through an abusive first marriage. But, in what seemed
impossible to many, her life now offers hope of God’s transforming
power to millions worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Karl Bastian "The Kidologist" Posted this on his site I laughed out loud a few times. It’s nice to know that we are all in this together for the Kingdom of God and for the kids.

Karl’s list is here:

You Will NEVER Hear A Children’s Pastor Say…

You can find the rest here……

Mine is here.

You Will NEVER Hear This Children’s Pastor Say…

1. If you need to store anything. The kids wing is the best place.
2. We really would like it if Parents weren’t involved in thier kids spirtual life.
3. I don’t need anyone to help, I can make it on my own.
4. You can’t teach your class this week because there is a guest speaker Thats great.
5. They are JUST kids!

I have heard the hearts and minds of children referred to as wet cement. I understand that analogy but I find it a bit to "construction" for me.

We have a short window what are we doing with it? Parents, teachers, pastors train up your children in the way they should go…..

We are now experiencing the difficulty of our man to man defense. Before the birth of our second son we could double team our first son we would win most games. Now it’s man to man and when we need fresh legs I keep looking to the bench and there is no one there, I call for a time out only to find out that we have used them all. I can’t imagine what it will be like with three when will have to switch to zone defense. Two kids is fun, but two kids is though. In the end I wouldn’t trade either of them for the world.

I just took an online superhero personality test. I think it is important that every children’s pastor and father know what superhero they are. My son’s suspicions are totally confirmed I am superman. I am a little concerned however because Wonder Woman was a close second.

Your results:

Superman 75% Wonder Woman 66% The Flash 65% Robin 63% Supergirl 56% Spider-Man 55% Green Lantern 55% Hulk 55% Iron Man 40% Catwoman 35% Batman 25%
