Pastor Daniel talks about the importance of planning. Nehemiah was a planner. He had an answer for the king when he asked him what how he could help because he (Nehemiah) had prayed and thought about what he would need. The work of planning must be done well. Pastor Daniel discusses two aspects of planning: 1)Planning is biblical and 2)Planning is not God. You’ll want to listen to this episode that is jam-packed with helpful tips on how to plan. 

In Pastor’s Perspective, Pastor Joe Williams shares his own lifelong observations on planning. God is a planner. He sets things in order. We are to follow His example. He wants us to use our time wisely, just like ants do. (Proverbs 6:6-11) Don’t be lazy! Some straight talk from Pastor Joe!
