Editor’s Note: This post was originally published on the CHARIS website. After migrating to Mosaic, we updated links in this post to direct to articles’ new locations in Mosaic, when applicable.

Here on the Church channel of CHARIS, our team of talented writers published over 175 posts last year, exploring such topics as elder-minister relationships, self-care, preaching, conflict within a church or leadership team, corporate worship, depression, healthy responses for church leaders, race, shepherding and mentoring, gender, the presidential election, and so much more! We are exceedingly grateful for our writing team who regularly give of their time to develop thoughtful posts to challenge, equip, and encourage you, our readers.
