Focus on the Family Layoffs: More than Economic?
Orginally published on Tuesday, December 09, 2008 at 9:34 AM
by Todd Rhoades
I was actually quoted in a Colorado Springs newspaper article about Focus on the Family's recent layoffs. Other than that, it is a really good article, and asks some great questions. Here's a snippit:
..."Supporters and critics of the Colorado Springs-based Christian ministry have been quick to question whether more is at play than hard times alone. Has its high-profile political stances hurt its public relations? Is its audience aging or shrinking? Did it reach a peak that, for some reason, has passed?"
You can read the whole article here...

Post Your Comments:“His comments were echoed by several others...”
See? The rest of us were quoted as well. 15 MINUTES OF FAME, PEOPLE.
The COO Glenn Williams said:
“The organization, simply put, can reach more people with fewer employees. And some changes are about improved efficiency.”
Even though it doesn’t always feel like an abundance of resources, we Americans have sooooooo much more in the way of disposable ministry resources than most Christian ministers on this planet. Regardless of the reasons for the downturn in income at Focus, reaching more people with fewer employees and improving efficiency is what we should all do all of the time. Isn’t that stewardship?
I know that in my community every single NPO, faith-based and secular, is looking at job cuts and other ways to keep the doors open, not to mention the families and small businesses that support us.
I think this recession is going to do some great things for our paradigms.
But I still have trouble with $600,000 donor dollars spent to pass Prop 8 in CA.

It was clear a few years ago, that they were losing clout as they became more focused on the political movement in the U.S. Changing policy rather than changing hearts. We are at a paradigm shift.
Todd, you’re getting famous!

The ship moved ever so slowly, while homesickness welled up in everyone’s heart and yearned for release.

Thus, playing mahjong not only had a buy kamasdown-home flavour to it but was also in tune with world trends. As luck would have it, there were more than enough people to set up two tables of mahjong. So, except for eating and acheter kamassleeping, they spent their entire time gambling.
