Go Further -- If Jesus Gave a TED TAlk
Dr. Charles Stone
Both my wife Sherryl and I have a heart for pastors and pastors’ wives. We’ve taught hundreds of pastors and their wives in the United States, Canada, Nicaragua, Colombia, Haiti, Cuba, and Mexico.
I’ve been a pastor for 40 years serving as Lead Pastor, a Teaching Pastor, an Associate Pastor, and as a Church Planter.
I earned an engineering degree from Georgia Tech, a Masters of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Doctorate of Ministry from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. My most recent degree is an executive masters in the neuroscience of leadership from The Neuroleadership Institute. I’m completing a post-baccalaureate certificate in Therapeutic Models of Mindfulness from Wilfred Laurier University and have completed a graduate certificate in Mind, Brain, and Teaching from Johns Hopkins University. I’m currently enrolled in the PhD program at Columbia Biblical Seminary and am researching stress in pastors.

"The greatest communicator ever lived 2,000 years ago. He held no academic degrees, wrote no books, held no formal classes, never used a PowerPoint slide or an iPad, and taught and lived in an obscure corner of the world. As He taught, He felt equally at home with a simple villager as He did with a Roman governor, yet His message turned history upside down and has transformed billions of lives." -- Dr. Charles Stone

If Jesus Gave a TED Talk -- scripture for meditation, prayer, and proclamation
The inspired Scriptures stand above all other literature and writing. They are full of the life and Spirit of God. To read, meditate, proclaim, and pray the Scriptures releases the potential of God in our personal world and the world we influence.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. Proverbs 18:21 ESV
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold In settings of silver. Proverbs 25:11 NKJV
Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ. Ephesians 4:15 NASB
When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes. Matthew 7:28-29 NASB
But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God. 2 Corinthians 4:2 ESV
Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience. 2 Corinthians 5:11 ESV
