FROM THE VAULT: Unity

Written by Gracie Kinsey   If you’ve followed along with the CBM Internship Program for any amount of time, you’ve probably heard one of us mention the “Core Values” of the Internship. If you’re not one of our interns and can’t recite them by heart, I will list the five core values here for you: Humility, Servant Leadership, Flexibility, Excellence and Unity. Today, we’re going to primarily focus on Unity.    The definition of Unity is “an attitude of love, patience and forgiveness towards others.” Ephesians 4:3 says, “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” Unity ...

FROM THE VAULT: The Meaning of Easter

Compiled from a newsletter written by Scott Brinson  Opening written by CBM Intern Jaelynn Woullard   Looking through different files about CBM history, I stumbled upon this story from one of the newsletters by Scott Brinson, the director of CBM of the Great Southwest. As I read about a woman who loved the Lord and wanted to share with others what Easter is all about, it reminded me that God calls us to tell others about Him and what He has done for us. We always remember the true meaning of Easter, as Christians, but I think we often forget that there are other people that celebrate Easter, not knowing what the true meaning of it ...

A Study on Leadership

Written by Erin Miller   I have been doing a two-week study on leadership and I remember things better when I write them down.

Watching all the different leaders around the world, not only the people whom I see every day, I see people completely shutting down their country, those who shut ...

Recognizing God-Given Gifts and Utilizing Them for His Glory

Written by Katelyn Bailey  How do we know what God has gifted us to do? Once we know what our gifts are, how do we use them to glorify Him? In this blog we will look at how God has answered these questions in my life, to give you an example and a starting point to look at in your own life. My name is Katelyn and I am an intern with Children’s Bible Ministries. When I was twelve, I became a mother’s helper. That meant I took care of and played with the children in the basement while their mom was upstairs cleaning, doing laundry, whatever she needed to do without her boys underfoot. At thirteen, I began babysitting while the parents were ...

Effective Communication and How It Helps Our Team Function

Written by Gracie Kinsey   Relationships are one of the most valuable resources that God gave us when He created the Earth and everything in it. Everyone has had some sort of relationship in their life–whether it be a relationship with God, the people in your family, your friends, your roommate, your husband or wife, or even the Dunkin’ Donuts lady who takes your breakfast order every Monday–we’ve all got them. Relationships are a constant variable in our lives, and how we act and manage those relationships affects us in a really big way. In Genesis 2:18 (NIV) God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a ...
