Don't Die a Poor Pastor with Ric Stanghelle and Jerry Rich From FCMM

In this episode you'll hear from two experts in the field of finances for pastors and church leaders. What is the difference between a 403b and a "church plan" 403b? Should you opt out of social security, and how does that affect your medicare eligibility? What should pastors be thinking about as they approach retirement? Ric Stanghelle and Jerry Rich, President and Vice President of FCMM respectively, have answers to all of these questions. And, they'll even tell you how to get a $1,000 grant if you open up an FCMM account. To find out more about what FCMM offer pastors and EFCA churches, visit www.fcmmbenefits.com. 

Level-Up Your Preaching With Dr. Lucas O'Neill

Between Twitter, TikTok, and now a global pandemic, is this the hardest time ever to be an effective preacher?

His recent book, Preaching to Be Heard: Delivering Sermons that Demand Attention, is the perfect follow up to this conversation. Whether you've been preaching for 50 years or just starting out, Dr. O'Neill can help you get better at your craft!
