A Word to the Wise: James Clear

It is common to think about what you would like to accomplish. It is less common to think about what must be discarded to make space for your new endeavors. The time must come from somewhere. What do you need to give up to make space for what you would like to achieve?

James Clear, 7.31.25, 3-2-1 Thursday

Here are Four Things to Know this Week:

  1. Five Key Intangibles to Consider When Hiring Church Staff (Church Answers)
  2. Dockery Notes ‘New Place of Stability’ in Annual Southwestern Employee Meeting (Baptist Press)
  3. How America’s Bible Habits Stack Up With the ‘Secular West’ (Lifeway Research)  
  4. ‘Walking Worthy’ to be Theme of 2026 SBC Annual Meeting (Baptist Press)  
 
Thank you for reading. Please share it with pastors and other AMSs you believe would benefit.
 
To the praise of His glory,
 
Ray
 
P. S. I also host the “SBCAL Podcast with Ray Gentry” where ever you get your podcasts.
