- 1.7 million people consider their jobs and their work hours excessive because of globalization.
- 50% percent of top corporate executives are leaving their current positions.
- 70% of workers in America say their jobs are affecting their health.
- Between forty-six and fifty-nine percent of workers feel that stress is affecting their interpersonal and sexual relationships.
Another recent study done by the National Life Insurance Co.:
- Four out of ten employees’ state that their jobs are “very” or “extremely” stressful.
- Those in high stress jobs are three times more likely than others to suffer from stress-related medical conditions and are twice as likely to quit.
- The study states that women, in particular, report stress related to the conflict between work and family.
Needless to say, life is stressful and complicated. That's why we're doing this "Simple" series. I really believe people are starving for simplicity, and I also believe that it's the church's responsibility to help people simplify their lives by focusing on what really matters.
Allow me to beg and plead with you to join us for this life-changing series that we're simply calling "Simple." And please feel free to invite someone to come with you!

When you're under a lot of stress, it's really important to not just suck it up and try to push through it. I was under enormous stress at work, home and even church when I developed Crohn's disease. It just about killed me, and I'm convinced it was triggered by the stress.
This sermon series could be a lifesaver.
