Want to Contribute to the Newsletter?

January 2nd, 2015
Several of you expressed a desire to contribute to the monthly newsletter when we asked you in our recent survey. Thank you! Please send in stories of how your service with Got Questions Ministries relates to your life, such as those "God-incidences" when a question you received is just what you needed to answer or how your neighbor wanted a resource to answer her grandchild's question and you could offer GQKidz.org or how having other volunteers pray for you encouraged you or whatever it may be, to Gwen@GotQuestions.org. We'd also love to hear . . .

Connecting Volunteers

January 2nd, 2015
If Facebook is something you enjoy, the Facebook Got Questions Writers' group page is a great way to interact with one another. We've really enjoyed watching community build there, and hope that those of you who use Facebook have enjoyed it as well. For those of you who do not use Facebook and are interested in seeing the interactions, we are now putting much of the Facebook discussion onto the Team Blog. A few of you expressed interest in an interactive forum outside of the Facebook Got Questions Writers' group page. We'd love to get you connected, . . .

Discouragement and Encouragement – Building Each other Up

December 26th, 2014
Jeff Laird December 25 at 5:48pm Living in the tension between joy and happiness. Blessed in family and life, but crushed and discouraged by the weight of a ministry calling that seems almost pointless right now. If God really wants me to fight a forest fire with a squirt gun, I'm game. But feeling called to defend the truth of the Gospel to a world that's veering so quickly towards hate, irrationality, and ignorance of that Gospel has me burnt to a crisp. Prayerfully looking at how to balance the need to breathe with . . .

Writer praise

December 11th, 2014
Jed Kramer December 10, 2014 I was just reflecting on the ways in which I have been blessed and challenged as I serve within the GQ ministry. I can't express how grateful I am for the opportunity to serve in this capacity, and for the camaraderie and collective knowledge/wisdom here in this fb group. . . .

Changes in the Q&A System

December 8th, 2014
Gwen Sellers December 8, 2014 Hi all - We're working on several new things in the Q&A system based on your excellent suggestions in the survey ... One went live today! On the "answer the question" page (where the assignment email link leads you), there is now a field where you can write a "Note to Editor". It is a text box immediately beneath the "Answer Text" box. This note will be visible to editors when we review your answers, but will not be visible to questioners. Please use this if you have any concerns . . .

Thoughts on QOTW – What does the Bible say about Ghosts and Hauntings

November 3rd, 2014
Robbie Holmes November 3 at 3:59am Hi Guys n Gals, just a thought on the weekly GQ question on "What does the Bible say about ghosts / hauntings?" as I read it I thought of the witch at Endor and the spirit of Samuel as an example of the spirit of a dead person revisiting the living world. I know this was an exception allowed by God but wondered if the article should include this rather than say " If the term means “spirits of people who have died,” the answer is “no.” " ....even if just to clarify . . .
