What To Do First to Make a Profit

The PF Women Team at our Annual Team Retreat  ~ 2018 Today on Seth Godin's blog, he said: It's tempting to decide to make a profit first, then invest in training, people, facilities, promotion, customer service and most of all, doing important work. In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're  not going to make a profit. So many organizations, ministries and churches are struggling with financial issues. I know your pain. As anyone who follows our story knows, our ministry was in a ton of debt four years ago when I came on as director.  Since that time, we've gotten out of debt and turned a profit every year.  God has done amazing things through out team, for which we give Him the glory! I find that what Seth is saying here is absolutely true, with one disclaimer. For Christian leaders, spiritual disciplines must always be first. Before we started i...

The conference you've been waiting for!


Ladies in ministry, the UNSTOPPABLE CONFERENCE for pastor's wives and women in ministry is right around the corner! We are so excited about this year's event we could just burst! (But we won't, that would be really yukky.) Last year many women said this conference was THE BEST resource they had EVER encountered in all their years in the ministry. And we had some women there who have been in ministry for many decades.

Okay, to get ALL the 4-1-1 on this year's conference simply go to our website. There you will find all the details about the speakers, the hotel, the topics we'll be unpacking, and a downloadable registration form. Early bird registration special is going on NOW, so take advantage! Also, there will be a very special gift presented at the conference for the woman who refers the most women this year to the Unstoppable Conference.

I know you get tons of advertisements in the mail and online about conferences. What to choose, what to choose! Well, if you would like to find out more about why you should even consider coming to this conference, go to the website and check out last year's feedback from women who attended, photos, and more, or go to my other website, Pastoring Partners, where there is also a re-cap from last year's conference. Some of the greatest women in ministry on the planet are involved in Unstoppable, and God has just BLESSED IT. Read the testimonies, or better yet, get involved, and you'll see for yourself.

Sisterhood Rises Up To Change Lives Forever

God is in the business of preserving families. It is His heart. It's my heart too. And, I'll unabashedly say here that I believe it should be everyone's heart. Everyone likes good news and I've got some for you today. If you are in doubt that God still speaks today and that He uses people to accomplish His work, I pray this will speak to you. Last night I was sitting in service at Celebration Church where we are pastors, and my husband was preaching. His message was about what we want to be remembered for in life, and he made the statement that we can't change our past but we can change the future.  In that moment, God spoke to me. He began to give me my next post for Lost Daughters, where I'm also a blogger. To be honest it's more than just another place where I blog. It's a sisterhood. A lifeline. A place that has come to mean a great deal to me, because of the amazing women who are there. During the service I basically had this entire post...

Lost Daughters & Me

Last month I wrote my very first adoption related post here on my blog, and said it would probably be my first and last. I was aware of the controversy it would probably bring, as well as the hurtful feelings that would result if those who are not adoptees rose up to disagree.  Although everyone wasn't totally happy, the positive response was overwhelming. I received a lot of private mail that was encouraging, and it outweighed the negative reactions. A few people literally begged me to write more. I wrote a follow up post here , about what I planned to do next. After prayer and consideration, I know I am supposed to start a separate blog about adoption, in addition to writing here at deannashrodes.net.  I am working on this new blog (though it is not live yet), as well as launching a Tampa support group for adult adoptees. However, I believe the best way for me to get my feet wet as I start the blog and support group is to begin by joining others. I need to learn, gr...
