Like Paul said, he feels like he does what he...

    Is there anybody here?

    Are there any CF friends out there who actually identify as a Progressive Adventist? I feel like this forum has become an exact replica of the traditional Adventist forum. I love my church family members, whatever their viewpoint. But I'm feeling a little lonely in my perspective. Anybody out there?

    My husband drinks. He isn't diagnosed as an addict, but it's a problem for us and he doesn't want to continue the behavior. It's undercutting his personal weight loss and health and mental stability goals. I try my best to help him any way I can, but it's a struggle both of us need to commit to...

    Pre-Marital Counseling

    1. Did you and your spouse participate in pre-marital counseling? 2. Do you and/or your spouse consider that counseling to have been helpful in your marriage relationship? There is no wrong answer. Just wondering what people's experiences have been. :)

    Questions for Senior Ministers

    I have several questions for those who lead the churches. Let's say hypothetically that you have an associate minister working with you at your church. 1. What might you expect or appreciate from that person in regards to full-time ministry work as a part of your church team? 2. What balances...

    My Turn...

    Although I'm not always sure that posting articles and videos and various other materials for the purpose of convincing others is helpful... I guess it's my turn to take a potentially unhelpful stab at sharing a message that I found very powerful. My desire is to assist my Adventist church...
