Episode 20: Pledging, TATTOOS?! & Grieving within Disasters

Send us Fan MailQuestions for the Week:I was confirmed recently in my local Presbyterian Church and have become a member. Suddenly, I am on all of these email lists, being asked to help with things, and biggest of all - being asked how much money I pledge to give over the next year. I'm only in high school. I'd love to give, but honestly don't have much money. How much should I be giving? Are there suggestions for other ways I can contribute? What are your thoughts on tattoos? Can Christians have tattoos? What do you think about the use of Christian imagery in tattoos?Special Guest:Laurie Kraus, Director, Presbyterian Disaster AssistanceGuest Question:In the aftermath of natural disasters (or human caused disasters, such as mass shootings), how can I best walk alongside those affected in my community as they mourn, grieve, and try to move forward? Is there something specific that I can offer them as a person of faith?Resource Roundup:Recovering from Un-Natural Disasters: A Guide for Pastors and Congregations after Violence and TraumaPresbyterian Disaster AssistanceFor Listening Guides, click here!Got a question for us?
