Download or read book Faith Based Organizing written by Charles Fredrickson and published by Augsburg Fortress Publishers. This book was released on 2021 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith-Based Organizing: A Congregational Planning Resource for Addressing Poverty was prepared specifically for pastors and lay leaders who want to invite their whole congregations to engage in faith-based community organizing to address poverty and its root causes. This practical resource will help them grow in their understanding and motivate them into action. It will also be useful for denominational and judicatory leaders who feel called to lead the church in mission. The authors share the fruits of what they discovered--through both their successes and errors--about community life inside and outside the church. They make a strong case that people of faith can address and overcome poverty, because they have what is needed to do so. They identify the available resources in the local church and offer tools for building relationships with leaders in a local community where there are people in poverty. They invite congregations to initiate local partnerships that include a congregation, people in poverty, and community leaders to advocate for change that can overcome poverty. This book presents a faith-based effort seeking to identify what sustains poverty and to organize people to work together to overcome its root causes. The result is collaborative relationships that change systems contributing to poverty. Within this process, new leadership will emerge, relationships will be enriched, and congregations will experience renewed love for people by undergoing transformation. Includes helpful information on racism and the culture of poverty, as well as numerous forms and activities that can be used by local congregations and planning teams.

Download or read book Faith Based written by Jason Hackworth and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith Based explores how the Religious Right has supported neoliberalism in the United States, bringing a particular focus to welfare—an arena where conservative Protestant politics and neoliberal economic ideas come together most clearly. Through case studies of gospel rescue missions, Habitat for Humanity, and religious charities in post-Katrina New Orleans, Jason Hackworth describes both the theory and practice of faith-based welfare, revealing fundamental tensions between the religious and economic wings of the conservative movement. Hackworth begins by tracing the fusion of evangelical religious conservatism and promarket, antigovernment activism, which resulted in what he calls “religious neoliberalism.” He argues that neoliberalism—the ideological sanctification of private property, the individual, and antistatist politics—has rarely been popular enough on its own to promote wide change. Rather, neoliberals gain the most traction when they align their efforts with other discourses and ideas. The promotion of faith-based alternatives to welfare is a classic case of coalition building on the Right. Evangelicals get to provide social services in line with Biblical tenets, while opponents of big government chip away at the public safety net. Though religious neoliberalism is most closely associated with George W. Bush's Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, the idea predates Bush and continues to hold sway in the Obama administration. Despite its success, however, Hackworth contends that religious neoliberalism remains an uneasy alliance—a fusion that has been tested and frayed by recent events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Projects That Matter introduces project leaders and teams to the five basic elements of project design and describes in detail a six-step process for designing and implementing a project evaluation and disseminating evaluation findings. Written for the nonexpert, leaders in religious settings will find Cahalan's guidance clear and invaluable. Presenting evaluation as a form of collaborative inquiry, Cahalan show how leaders can use evaluation design to develop effective project plans and prepare case statements for donors or grant proposals for foundations. She introduces project planning and evaluation as mission-related practices and invites leaders to consider how their tradition's particular mission and beliefs influence the way they plan and evaluate. Cahalan concludes the book by making explicit her own theological presuppositions—that the virtues of discernment, stewardship, and prudence are essential for good project planning and evaluation

Download or read book Intentional You 30 Day Faith and Fitness Planner written by Angie Gordon and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The health and fitness journal created especially by and for Christian women.I gave up on my dreams of achieving the perfect figure. Not because I lost hope, but because I've realized that those dreams don't honor the woman God created me to be. Throughout my health journey, I've struggled to find a balance between being healthy and being fit. I was on a constant roller coaster, limiting myself to what I could eat, then punishing myself when I broke those self-imposed rules. The battle in my mind was fierce and it was slowly eating away at me! Psalm 139:14 says: I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Do you know that? Do you believe that? God made you perfectly you. Are you taking care of the woman He created? Are you living your life as a temple to our Holy God? Do you have what it takes? Of course you do! Intention...that's all you need. You are capable of being a healthier version of you, but you are the only one who can do it. This may not mean you'll end up skinny. Sometimes skinny isn't healthy, and sometimes a little thicker isn't unhealthy either. (Can I get an amen here?!?!)God created you unique and beautiful. So focus on being who He sees you as instead of trying to fit into the world's picture of beautiful. It's life-changing!If you are working on your health, working out, getting enough sleep, eating better you WILL notice changes. You WILL feel better. You WILL BE healthier. Intentional You was created to be a tool to help you get healthy. Can you commit to your health for 30 days? Can you commit to journaling, planning and tracking for 30 days? Can you make small changes and achieve them for 30 days? Are you ready to celebrate the small wins along the journey? Then this journal was created for you! I designed the Intentional You journal with my daughter. She was picking up on my un-healthy attitudes towards my own health and at that moment I KNEW something had to change. She and I were talking about wanting to be healthy (read NOT skinny!). At 14, she wasn't yet sure what that looked like. So we came up with an actionable plan to give our bodies the attention they need to be as healthy as possible. And that plan turned into this journal...The Intentional You health and fitness journal includes:-30 days of goal tracking: Water intake, workouts, meal plan, small goals, a to-do list and habit tracker to keep you focused on the important things.-Spiritual Health: God didn't leave us to do this on our own. So each day includes a Bible passage for you to look up and journal. -Spending time in His Word daily is a huge part of our health plan.-Personal Goals: A place to celebrate small wins and encourage yourself to move forward-30 Day Challenge: You choose 6 goals that are important to you on your journal and track your progress.-Food Ideas: A place for you to brainstorm healthy food options to glance at when you want to reach for the junk food quick-fix.-Healthy Habits: A graph tracker that allows you to watch your daily progress in different areas: Sleep, daily steps, Bible reading, prayer, workouts and more.
