Episode 03 | It'll Be Ok! Effective Ministry to Widows with Author & Speaker Sheryl Giesbrecht Turner
Here are 5 things you should know about the widows in your church:
- The average age of a widow is only 56 years old.
- Becoming a widow means nothing is the same (financially, socially, etc.)
- Widows lose 75% of their friendship network after losing a spouse.
- Half will not be attending the church they attended with their husband after one year of becoming a widow.
- One-third of widows meet the criteria for clinical depression in the first month after their husband's death.
Have you ever wondered how your church can more effectively care for widows? Lean into the conversation with author Sheryl Giesbrecht Turner as she shares her personal story of the tragic and unexpected loss of her husband and what it taught her about overcoming her own grief and walking through seasons of loss with others.
Join host Kyle Johnson and cohost Steve Kramer each month as we bring you innovative ideas and practical resources you can use in your church.
EPISODE 02 | How Churches Can Solve the Orphan Crisis
When most people think of orphans, they may think of a story made for Hollywood or a desperate need in a faraway land. The reality is, adoption and foster is a huge need in America and the local church is God’s answer to help place the orphan in a family. Join us on this episode of the CityServe Network Leadership Podcast, as we discuss the issue of adoption and foster care and how each one of us can play a part in demonstrating the heart of God for the orphan.
