Curated links for your weekend reading:

[Building a Culture of Evangelism Takes Time, So Be Patient and Get to Work](https://link.dashhouse.com/DNy?ref=dashhouse.com)

> Every church ought to cultivate a robust “culture of evangelism.” Programs are events. A culture is a way of life. Programs come and go. A culture endures.

[Two Sets of Search Criteria](https://link.dashhouse.com/DN2?ref=dashhouse.com)

> Here are two descriptions of the ideal candidate for the office of Pastor. The first is taken from a large and well-known church in the West; the second is taken from Gregory the Great’s *Book of Pastoral Rule*.

[Healing from Pastoral Hurt for the Long Haul](https://link.dashhouse.com/DNp?ref=dashhouse.com)

> Here are three ways planters can prioritize healing from pain to ensure longevity in service to Christ.

[In Praise of Unfussy Hospitality](https://link.dashhouse.com/DNx?ref=dashhouse.com)

> May we never underestimate how the lonely and hurting can be blessed by our listening ears, and a warm bowl of canned soup.

[Four Reasons Christians Distinguish Between Happiness and Joy](https://link.dashhouse.com/DNw?ref=dashhouse.com)

> My hope is that we can redeem the word *happiness* in light of both Scripture and church history. Our message shouldn’t be “Don’t seek happiness,” but “You’ll find in Jesus the happiness you’ve always longed for.”

My [column](https://go.dashho.us/r9A?ref=dashhouse.com) this week at The Gospel Coalition Canada: [God-Centred](https://link.dashhouse.com/DEU?ref=dashhouse.com)

> If we’re not careful, we’ll make our churches about meeting market needs and we’ll have missed the entire point of ministry, and of life itself: the glory of God.
