As pastors, we are acutely aware of being good stewards of God's money, not only personally but also corporately. That includes providing a way for church or ministry employees to receive the medical care they need at a price that doesn't impede an ability to serve people.

When I'm asked how I spend my day as a pastor, my response is something like this, "Pastor relationships, donor development, networking, and making things happen!" Most of what I do is unseen, but the fruit of the Holy Spirit moving through Church United is evident. Here's a behind-the-scenes snapshot from the past two weeks:

I know Represenative Mike Johnson. I've met with him multiple times, and I'm grateful to Bob Tyler, who initially introduced me. I'll never forget a candid conversation we had at a coffee shop in D.C. about a phone call he received from President Trump when Rep. Johnson was the chair of the Freedom Caucus, and the caucus wouldn't vote to support his healthcare reform (Obamacare) bill. That's a story I can share with you in person.

The following is a summary of the 10-26-2023 Zoom call we had with Knesset Member Sharren Haskel regarding the state of Israel and the broader Middle East. The call was incredibly powerful, and Member Haskel's passion and transparency was palpable and inspiring. The call touched upon several significant aspects, and while it was heart-wrenchingly difficult to listen to, it is essential that we continue to stay informed about these events.

Are you a theatrical release movie fan? I prefer to watch films in the comfort of my La-Z-Boy so I can hit pause when I have to use the bathroom. Watching at home also allows me to get up from that plush leather chair to make healthy popcorn.

El buen trabajo de Church United continúa, ya que acabamos de atravesar la mitad del camino de este año 2023. Es difícil imaginar que las escuelas darán inicio nuevamente en cuestión de semanas. Y aunque el verano tiende a ser un momento de desaceleración para las familias, Church United mantiene un ritmo constante a medida que nuestra influencia cultural y espiritual se extiende por el Noroeste y hacia el corazón de Estados Unidos.

Scripture does not mince words! Neither will the Revealing the Rainbow conference at Cornerstone Church in Downtown Fresno. The is an inaugural 3-day conference that is launching speaking events across the country. Not A Mistake's Speakers' Bureau will have 4 keynotes: Former Trans Male Chloe Cole, Former Trans Female, Drag Queen and Prostitute Kevin Whitt, Former Lesbian and Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Kris Olsen, and Former Homosexual Jim Domen will share their stories of transformation proving that change is possible. None of us were "born that way" and you'll hear from the true biological sexes: males and females. Local area counselors will speak and provide resources for those attending.

Wow. What a whirlwind! I’m writing to you from New York, where I just taped a podcast with No. 1 New York Times bestseller Eric Metaxas. I met Eric during a Church United Regional Briefing event in San Jose, where he was the featured speaker. I gave him a copy of my book, “Not A Mistake, Parents' Hope for their Gay Son,” which he read on his flight home. Soon, he sent me an email.

Author Jim Domen's Live TV interview on the DayStar network will air tomorrow, Wednesday, May 4, regarding his new book “Not A Mistake, Parents Hope for Their Gay Son.” Available on Amazon.com. DayStar's global audience reaches over 180 million people!

There is another wave preparing to break, this one on land—as noted by a recent article in the Los Angeles Times. In its March 4 edition, reporter Cindy Carcamo documented a growing trend of political engagement by Hispanic evangelicals and observers are expecting their influence to come crashing down as a new wave on old stereotypes. As more and more American Hispanics convert from Catholicism to Protestant evangelicalism, their voter preferences are also shifting toward a biblical worldview.

Pastor Jim Domen, MDiv who leads a national ministry engaging pastors in cultural issues impacting their communities, will hold a news conference Tuesday, Feb. 8, 11 a.m. ET at the U.S. Supreme Court requesting justices hear an appeal of his sexual orientation and religious discrimination lawsuit against the video platform Vimeo.

We are on the cusp of a new year and we’ve got big plans, but before we unveil those, I’d like to spend a few minutes celebrating significant victories among our courageous network of Church United Pastors.

After five years of intentional foundation setting, 2021 ushered in a season of growth and influential reach for Church United, and much of that success is the result of your faithful partnership through intercession and investment. God continues to amaze me with his provision and advancement.

This Friday at 5:00 p.m. PST Fox national news Host Tucker Carlson will interview Pastor and Oroville Vice Mayor Scott Thompson.

Pastor Scott serves his community as Senior Pastor at River of Life Church and as a city council member. He lives out Scripture from behind the pulpit to the public square with solid policy decisions.

California se convertirá en el primer estado de la nación en exigir a los grandes comerciantes que incluyan pasillos de juguetes y artículos de cuidado infantil "género neutro" a partir de 2024. Las multas por incumplimiento comienzan en $200, y las infracciones repetidas cuestan $500 por cada infracción. El gobernador Gavin Newsom firmó el proyecto de ley el pasado lunes 11 de Octubre. 


California will become the first state in the nation to require large retailers to include “gender neutral” toy aisles and childcare items beginning in 2024. Fines for noncompliance start at $200, with repeat violations costing $500 for each infraction. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law last Monday, October 11.

Aug. 4 will be a pivotal moment for the heart and soul of California when voters get the first look at the top contenders in the statewide effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom. This first debate will be held at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda. Church United plans to attend the debate to monitor the high-stakes election, set for Sept. 14. Information gleaned from the debate will be used to help Church United pastors engage their congregations.

The 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals has vacated the 3-judge panel decision regarding Section 230 of the Communication Decency Act in the case of Domen v. Vimeo. The court has agreed to rehear this case en banc, which challenges the district court’s ruling asserting that Section 230 makes Vimeo and other Big Tech companies immune from civil rights laws.

Hard totalitarianism is easy to see. It is Soviet tanks rolling through your streets. It is the secret police in the former East Germany bugging your home, following you, arresting you, torturing you, and imprisoning you with a show trial or no trial. Soft totalitarianism, thanks to advances in technology, is coming to us via the surveillance culture. It is sort of a cross between Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World. In 1984, there was a telescreen in your home that could monitor your life 24/7.

El totalitarismo duro es fácil de ver. Son tanques soviéticos rodando por tus calles. Es la policía secreta de la antigua Alemania del Este que te escucha en casa, te sigue, te arresta, te tortura y te encarcela juicio o sin juicio. El totalitarismo blando, gracias a los avances de la tecnología, nos está llegando a través de la cultura de la vigilancia. Es una especie de cruce entre el 1984 de Orwell y el Mundo Feliz de Huxley.

Los programas de acogida cristianos recibieron una gran victoria la semana pasada después de que la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, en una rara decisión unánime, dictaminó que la ciudad de Philadelphia no puede excluir a las agencias que no coloquen a los niños con parejas del mismo sexo porque hacerlo no está de acuerdo con las creencias religiosas de la agencia.
