How do you beat procrastination and get stuff done?

H

KAIRA WRITES: Procrastination and lack of focus has always been a huge battle for me, and now that I’m in high school, it’s starting to become a huge problem.

I’ll crack down on what I’m currently procrastinating with, but find something...

Any advice for teaching Sunday School?

A

We go to a small church, so there aren’t a whole lot of kids, and this makes the age range pretty big, with the youngest being 5-years-old, and the oldest being 12.

How do we change the world when the world doesn’t want to change?

H

RACHEL WRITES: Okay, here is why I asked that question. My church started a “Big Hard Thing.” We planted a church in the middle of a bad part of town. I was really excited about this, but… (Ha.
