In February, the month traditionally associated with love, we’re reminded of one of the most essential qualities in Christian leadership: love.

In 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, we are reminded that no matter what gifts or abilities we have, if we do not have love, we have nothing.

Tax season is here, and ministers have unique tax responsibilities to keep in mind. Rev. David Boots breaks down key tax issues—like estimated payments, lowering liability through retirement contributions, and understanding RMDs—to help clergy navigate their financial obligations with confidence.
