Hello Reader,

I hope this message finds you well. I am Clarence E. Stowers, Jr., the host of the Clarence Stowers Leadership Podcast, a platform dedicated to illuminating the vital contributions of ‘Overlooked Leaders’ in ministry.

​

I am extending a special invitation for you to be a guest on our upcoming episode. The theme of this episode is “Mastering Time Management and Avoiding Burnout,” focusing on the unique challenges and triumphs of bi-vocational pastors and ministry leaders like yourself.

Your journey and experiences are incredibly valuable, and I believe your insights could profoundly impact our listeners. Many struggle to balance their secular work with their ministry commitments, often feeling stretched and seeking guidance.

In this episode, we aim to explore:

• Personal experiences and challenges faced in bi-vocational roles.
• Strategies for effective time management and avoiding burnout.
• Lessons learned and wisdom gained through your journey.

I would be honored to have you share your story, offering inspiration and practical advice to our community of dedicated leaders. Your voice can make a significant difference in encouraging and empowering our audience.

The interview would take approximately 20-30 minutes and can be scheduled at your convenience. We strive to create a comfortable and engaging atmosphere for our guests, ensuring an enlightening and enjoyable conversation.

Your participation would be a tremendous addition to our podcast. If you’re interested, please let me know your availability, and we can coordinate further details.

Thank you for considering this invitation. I am genuinely excited about the possibility of having you on the show and sharing your invaluable insights with our listeners.

Dear Mars Hill Anywhere Family,

As we navigate life’s unexpected turns, our faith community remains a beacon of hope and resilience. In light of the prolonged frigid temperatures, we prioritize your safety and well-being. Therefore, we have decided to postpone our in-person worship service initially scheduled for Sunday, January 21, 2024.

While the weather outside may be cold, our hearts continue to burn with faith and fellowship. We invite you to join our Online Church, a vibrant space where we can connect, learn, and grow together in our spiritual journey, undeterred by the elements.

From Rubble to Renewal: The Nehemiah Strategy for Modern Time Launches Monday, January 22, 2024 (Kindle & Paperback)

This week also marks a significant milestone for our community as we celebrate the release of “From Rubble to Renewal: The Nehemiah Strategy for Modern Times.” This insightful book, authored by yours truly, is more than just pages; it’s a blueprint for transformation, mirroring the biblical narrative of Nehemiah. In the face of ruins, vision isn’t just seeing what is but imagining what could be. Nehemiah’s story reminds us that our current reality isn’t our final destination.

Happy Wednesday Reader,

I hope this email finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to share some important updates regarding our upcoming events and extend a heartfelt invitation to join us online for spiritually enriching experiences.

Postponement of In-Person Worship

Firstly, due to the prolonged frigid temperatures we’ve been experiencing this week, we have decided, out of an abundance of caution, to postpone our in-person worship service originally scheduled for Sunday, January 21, 2024. Your safety and well-being are our top priorities. However, our spiritual journey doesn’t pause for the weather! We warmly invite you to join our Online Church, where we can continue to connect, learn, and grow together in faith.

Special Announcement

I am thrilled to announce that we have an extraordinary announcement to share with you. This is something you won’t want to miss. Please mark your calendars and join us on our streaming platforms on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, at 6 PM Central. Your presence is highly anticipated, and I am eager to share this exciting news.

​

Sermon Highlight – “From Ashes to Action: God’s Plan For Unexpected Turns”: I also want to draw your attention to the “message only” segment of my recent sermon titled “From Ashes to Action: God’s Plan For Unexpected Turns.” This sermon, part of the “Out With The Old” series, dives into Nehemiah chapter 2. In it, I shared the compelling story of Laura, a single mother grappling with an unexpected job loss. Her story, paralleling Nehemiah’s journey of faith and determination, offers profound insights into facing life’s adversities. I emphasized the importance of rising from adversity, the role of prayer aligned with God’s will, and the transformative power of rebuilding. This message is particularly pertinent as we navigate our life’s unexpected turns and seek to grow in faith and resilience.

​

Join Us Online: As we navigate these challenging times together, I encourage you to join us for our special announcement on Wednesday at 6 PM and our Online Church service at 10:30 AM Central. These online gatherings are not just a means to stay connected; they are opportunities to deepen our faith, find solace, and gain strength from our community.

In conclusion, while we may be physically apart, our spirits remain united in faith and purpose. Your participation in our online events is invaluable, and I look forward to sharing these moments with you. Stay safe, stay warm, and stay blessed.
