Welcome to the first weekly newsletter from Greg Neal Daily!

After much prayer and preparation, I have entered this new personal ministry in which God has given the platform of writing and media to perpetuate Bible truths. I have always had a love of writing, and until my adulthood, I had never explored writing as an avenue of ministry. This part of my ministry has been on the “back burner” as I have tried to fulfill God’s call on me as a pastor and a preacher. For some time, I have been wrestling with taking this next step and fully embracing this part of my calling. I can look back to see how God was preparing me for “such a time as this.”

I became the pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church 12 years ago. After that amount of time, it is natural to develop many routines behind the pulpit and in the interactions with the church people. One such habit is that, after the closing prayer, I will often say, “One more thing before we dismiss…” This “one more thing” is a thought or truth for the congregation to consider as they leave. It is sometimes an additional truth related to the message that was just preached or the reiteration of a point made during the sermon. It may be a reminder to pray for a need or to invite someone to a special service or event. Many times, “one more thing” is the challenge to brighten the day of someone with whom we come in contact. Nothing profound, it is just “one more thing” to keep on our minds as we go throughout our week. So, when there was discussion of a newsletter and what to title it, the name One More Thing… seemed appropriate.

My goal with this newsletter is to give readers “one more thing” to help them in their Christian lives. It could be one more word of encouragement; one more truth on which to meditate; one more challenge to fulfill; one more principle to practice; or one more change to embrace. It will be just One More Thing…

My desire is to help Christians navigate world events through the lens of Scripture. I believe this newsletter will help you, but it will also be a help to someone else. So, as you check your inbox every Thursday to read One More Thing…, please share the newsletter with others. I would also encourage you to visit GregNealDaily.com to read the Daily Report every weekday. Finally, stay tuned for the first Greg Neal Podcast that will be published soon and available to watch on YouTube, Spotify, and other podcasting platforms. This unique podcast will feature conversations with many different Christians, exploring ministry, family, life, and friendship.

Thank you for joining me here. I hope this newsletter will give you “one more thing” to help you as you navigate life. Each edition will provide you with a Bible-based perspective on the world around you to help give clarity in a restless world, vision for the future, and a resolute commitment to sharing Christ with others.
