No matter the size of your ministry, everyone needs people right beside you taking on some of the load. In a church context, it's even more important - and Biblical - to have deacons. But do they even know what they are supposed to do and how to do it? And even more importantly, why? Pastor Jamie McClanahan talks with us in this Not Alone episode about how they are revitalizing their church through a health deacon ministry!

What do you do when your church is growing but you aren't able to start a new service? How do you plan for and accommodate any new growth? In the case of Salem Baptist outside of Richmond, they decided to realize an earlier vision. They are going to actually break down the center wall of the building they currently occupy and open up major space. But Pastor Jeff Dickson believes this is just a visual representation of a bigger reality - that there are other barriers God wants to break down!

This is a historic year in Virginia! The General Assembly has passed two amendments to our constitution that will dramatically change the way we deal with marriage and abortion in the Commonwealth. And they negatively target our Biblical and family values. Virginia Delegate Mark Earley and Michael Morisi from our strategic partner in Richmond, The Family Foundation, join the Not Alone Podcast to discuss these important issues. We dive into the details and explain why it is crucial to both be informed and get involved, so we can turn the tide before these amendments become locked in place.
