Accelerating Church Health: 4 Steps

If your church feels stuck, this is where to start. In this free guide, Terry Thompson walks you through the four-step framework at the heart of every church turnaround story he's witnessed across 21 states:

Crisis — Why urgency isn't the enemy. It's the alarm clock.

Hope — Why prayer isn't a warm-up. It's the engine.

Strategy — Why hope without a plan is a car with four flat tires.

Leadership — Why strategy without a tenacious driver goes nowhere.

This isn't a book about what's wrong with your church. It's a field guide for what comes next.

Pastor's Wife Survival Playbook: A Thriving Marriage & Ministry in the Mayhem

Ministry is hard on marriages. The expectations are real, the isolation is real, and the pressure to hold it all together — while quietly falling apart — is something most pastor's wives know all too well.

This book is for those women. The ones who don't have it all together. Who don't have all the answers. Who are navigating the mayhem of real ministry life and looking for someone who's been there to tell the truth about it.

Kelly Thompson has been in full-time ministry alongside her husband Terry since 1985. This playbook is what she wishes she'd had.

Every pastor's wife in the SCUSA cohort receives a copy.
Now it's available to anyone who needs it.
