      <image:title>Bill Simpson - Confidence and Clarity</image:title>
      <image:caption>I write books and articles, and publish a podcast to help believers live out their faith more effectively, especially in the marketplace. That’s why I strive to inspire confidence and infuse clarity in the hearts and heads of everyone who is longing for the abundant life Jesus promised. I personally don’t have anything to say, but I have a lot of encouragement to give regarding what God says about life and faith. Abundant life doesn’t mean we enjoy the health and wealth we want. Jesus’ version of an abundant life means we live in a confident and hope-filled relationship with he and his Father through the Spirit’s presence within us. And that changes everything. Take a few minutes to explore my site. Whether it’s a book, a blog, an article, or a podcast episode, you can find nourishment for your soul, encouragement for your heart, and insights for your mind. Thank you for visiting my site. May you be encouraged in your relationship with Jesus the Christ, our Father in the heavens, and the indwelling Spirit.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bill Simpson - How To Ask God - for What He Wants to Give You</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jesus promised that if we ask according to his Father’s will, every request will be answered. But knowing how to ask in alignment with his will is the question. Bill reveals the answer to this powerful question by showing how to pray God’s words back to him. Take 10 to Méno is a devotional book through the letter to the Colossians. Each reading takes 10 minutes to complete. Méno is the New Testament Greek word for “remain” and “abide”.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bill Simpson - It Don’t Come Easy…</image:title>
      <image:caption>You know it don’t come easy. But it does come. Whether you’ve learned how to play an instrument, excelled in Excel, gotten in shape, or competed in athletics, you experienced success through proper training and regular repetition. If you are going to be transformed by the power of Christ, you must give yourself to training your mind. A new mind-set comes from taking direct control of your thoughts. THAT requires strength beyond your own ability. And your Father is more than willing to help as you do your part - asking and listening. Every day. Throughout the day. Take 10 minutes either listening or reading, to allow Him to guide your heart and mind.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bill Simpson - Seeing Truth, Living in Confident Faith</image:title>
      <image:caption>Peter was actually walking on water! His sandals were soaked but the rest was high and dry. He had the guts to get out of the boat and give a shot at defying gravity. But everything changed in a moment. He began to sink as soon as he turned his gaze to the waves and wind - his very compelling circumstances. That’s your story and mine too. Life screams at us, demanding that we give our full attention to every circumstance and challenge. And just like Pete, we sink when we lose sight of the One who is life. The fantastic reality is that Jesus never loses sight of us. He can’t! He is always there, extending a hand to pull us back up. To help us regain a proper focus. He longs to help us set our sights on his priorities and perspectives. May you be strengthened by his power today to be conscience of the Kingdom that is both here and coming.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bill Simpson - 3 Essentials for Powerful Worship Music</image:title>
      <image:caption>Whether you write praise and worship music, or you are a worship pastor/director, there are 3 keys (excuse the pun) to inspiring a congregation to worship God in spirit and in truth. 1. The most important aspect of great praise and worship music is that the lyrics align with the Bible, with truth. This point cannot be overstated. In order to help people rightfully celebrate God's greatness through song, the words they sing must agree completely with His words. For every point a song makes, it should have a Scriptural basis. If the lyrics are biblically true, the emphasis of the song will be God-centric, rather than an over-emphasis on people or experience. Here’s the question to ask with every line in the song: Where is this found in the Bible? If you are not super knowledgable about the Bible, ask someone who is. Make sure you are leading your people to sing only what is absolutely true about the Father, the Son, the Spirit, and the Kingdom. Example: Songs that talk about Jesus being the "Lion of Judah" and the "Lamb of God" are correct, but which title should have the most emphasis? Jesus' title of "the Lion of the tribe of Judah" is found only once, in Revelation 5:5. However, he is the “Lamb of God” twice in John's gospel and fourteen times in the Revelation. To refer to Jesus as the Lion of Judah is correct, but the prominent title in the Bible, by an overwhelming margin, is "the Lamb". Question: Does the Spirit of God live in the atmosphere or in people’s hearts? Don’t sing what isn’t true, no matter how insignificant it seems to be. 2. Key selection is critical if you want the entire congregation to have the opportunity to sing. The majority of worship songs are recorded in vocal ranges that average human beings, especially men, cannot sing. Therefore, songs need to be put into singable keys for the average guy, if you want to ensure that everyone can equally join in the worship. I'm in lots of different churches and for the most part, the men that are singing are in the minority. In addition to keys that are too high, using songs that octave up are very difficult for most people to sing well, again especially men. That doesn't mean you have to jettison the many songs that octave up in the recording. Simply find the best key and use instrumentation to add energy rather than raising it vocally. Continually ask yourself: What is the best key for this song for my congregation? There is a perfect key for each song sung by every church. 3. And for the final question: Is this song actually singable by a large group, or a small group? The size of your gathering makes a big difference regarding “singability”. As yourself this question with each song: Can your church family sing this song well? Is it more of a performance song or can the whole group easily sing it together? To summarize: Worship songs must be biblically pure, sung in the best key for everyone, and singable as a group. Who am I to offer such unwavering opinions? I'm a man who loves music, loves the Lord, loves His Church, and has been in a plethora of church services almost every Sunday since the spring of 1982. I served for years as a volunteer guitarist in a praise band, and was then led by the Lord into vocational ministry. I have served as a long-term missionary in Africa, as a senior pastor in NC, and as senior/worship pastor in SC. Like Farmers with insurance, I know a thing or two about worship. Grace to you all.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About</image:title>
      <image:caption>Bill Simpson is a consummate professional - an author, speaker, podcaster, consultant, and pastor/teacher. He has served as a senior pastor, worship pastor, leadership coach, church planting missionary, energy engineering consultant, energy efficiency program manager, business owner, and sales/design engineer. Bill published How to Ask God – For What He Wants to Give You in 2016, Take 10 to Menó – 10 Minutes Readings Thru Colossians in 2017, and What Men Crave - Spoiler: It’s Not Money, Sex, or Power in 2019 and Kingdom Come Leadership in 2020. He is the host and creator of the podcast, “Drive Time Devotionals”, heard on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, and Stitcher. Bill and his wife, Tammy, both grew up in Fuquay-Varina, NC. They were married shortly after Bill graduated from NC State's College of Engineering. A few months after their marriage, Bill became a follower of Jesus. After 9 years of success in business, the Simpsons realized the Lord was leading them in an entirely new direction. They sold their home and company in order for Bill to attend seminary at Columbia International University in Columbia, SC in preparation for overseas ministry. After graduation, they served as church planters in Senegal, West Africa where Bill soon became the Field Director. They served with the mission agency, SIM, for six years in Senegal. Bill’s first book was an explanation of practical theology written in Wolof, the primary language of Senegal. When the Simpsons returned to the US in 1997, Bill was privileged to pastor their home church in High Point, NC, Community Bible Church. He served there for almost 10 years and then returned to the marketplace as a leadership consultant. Over the next 5 years, he held positions in energy efficiency and conservation with two Fortune 100 companies. Bill and Tammy were led back to the pastorate in March of 2012, as he became the Lead Pastor of Manchester Creek Community Church in Rock Hill, SC. Bill and Tammy resigned from pastoring to move to Wilmington, NC where he now writes &amp; speaks, podcasts, and consults. Email Bill at billsimpson.org@gmail.com .</image:caption>

      <image:title>Take 10 Book - If you’re going to remain…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jesus taught that to remain faithful to him we must continually keep his words in our hearts and minds (John 15:1-17). Menó is the New Testament Greek word that means “to remain”, and is also translated “to abide”, and “ to continue”. To experience renewed thinking, a daily intake of Jesus' teaching is essential. This first book in the Take 10 to Menó series walks the reader through the Apostle Paul's letter to the Colossians in daily readings that take about 10 minutes to complete. Strengthen your faith in Christ and keep your soul connected to him by feeding your mind every day.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Officiant - Bill,   I don't even know where to start. You are so great.  It feels like Kevin and I have known you forever. You seemed to truly "get" us as a couple from the moment we met. It made for a ceremony that was the perfect mix of traditional yet personal, which is exactly what we wanted.   Our family and friends have not stopped raving about our ceremony and what a wonderful job you did.  Thank you for trusting us to make the ceremony our own, and for being so accepting of baby girl Quinn on the way!  Kevin &amp; Ashley</image:title>

      <image:caption>Hey Bill!!!! OMG our wedding was amazing! And you had a huge impact on that. I will definitely be leaving you a wonderful review, and I can't say enough how much we appreciate all of your hard work. I was wondering if it was possible to get a full copy of our ceremony word-for-word, I would love to do something with those words for our home. You did a fantastic job, we are both still over-the-top from our wedding. Jeff &amp; Brandi</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Bill was absolutely amazing throughout our engagement and officiating our marriage. He is kind, smart, and so personable. We felt as if we had known him for many years. The pre-marital counseling session was amazing and really helped to bring the Lord into our marriage and relationship. Bill was able to open our eyes to our lord and savior and we felt his presence on our special day. It was moving and enlightening to have Bill be a part of our day and unite us as one. As we continue on this journey of husband and wife, we will always remember Bill’s words of encouragement and praise.” Beatrice &amp; Brandon</image:caption>

      <image:title>Officiant</image:title>
      <image:caption>I was referred to Bill by my wedding planner. We really weren't sure which route to take as we don't go to church here in Wilmington and didn't want to ask anyone to travel. We didn't know what to expect when asking someone we had never met to marry us. Trust me when I say from the get go Bill was the best. He made us feel so comfortable and excited for our big day. We did pre marital counseling with him and that really helped us. Our rehearsal and wedding went flawlessly with him. He had the best personality and was truly a joy to work with! We couldn't have booked a better officiant. Thank you, Bill! Jenn &amp; Eric</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Mr. Simpson did our premarital coaching as well as officiated our wedding. If you are hesitant on premarital coaching like we were, don't be. After our session, we started implementing things that we learned about ourselves and each other immediately. We thoroughly enjoyed having Mr. Simpson as our officiant and received several compliments on him from our guest. Thank you for teaching and guiding us on this life journey!” Natashia &amp; Michael - 2018 “The premarital session that we got to spend with you opened our eyes and brought a lot of helpful insight to strengthen our relationship and work on those areas that needed to be worked on. Everything from the time we met you to the day of the ceremony was comfortable and warming. You were encouraging, always available and easy to talk to. On the day of the wedding you made things so easy for Josh and I, you made it personal to myself and Josh, humorous and touching. Not only were Josh and I so happy with the way you went about the ceremony we still are having guests tell us how amazing you were and how beautiful it was! We can't thank you enough for everything you have done for us. You truly were the best and we are blessed that you were able to come into our lives and be the one we chose to marry us. Thank you again for everything!” Josh &amp; Sara</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Our wedding ceremony was unique in its setup. We wanted our guests in circular pattern so everyone could feel close and hear the words being spoken. We wanted it to feel intimate from chair arrangement to our personally written vows. Bill created that environment with the words he chose to share, along with the flow we three had predetermined. The communion we shared privately that he guided us through was such a special moment. We are believers in Christ, and wanted God at the center our of ceremony, and Bill made sure to focus on that! He also helped lighten a nervous bride &amp; groom, with light humor and a genuine personality that beautifully led us through our ceremony. He has charisma, wisdom and wit and we highly recommend him!!” Theo &amp; Hannah</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Bill officiated our wedding four years ago and we are still referring back to his words of wisdom from our pre-marital counseling session. Bill gave us practical advice and Godly wisdom to start our marriage with a strong foundation. Multiple wedding guests approached us during the reception and commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. Bill gave a message that resonated with everyone in the room. He is warm and wise, funny and approachable. We couldn’t have asked for a better pastor to marry us.” Duncan &amp; Amy</image:caption>

      <image:title>Officiant - Weddings With Bill</image:title>
      <image:caption>Your wedding day is one of the most wonderful, memorable, and joy-filled days of your life. It is the culmination of all of your planning and waiting and the beginning of your lives together as a new family. My many years of officiating weddings will ensure your ceremony is everything you dreamed it would be and even more. Since your wedding day is extraordinarily special, I will work with you through every element of the ceremony to make it personal, so that it uniquely represents the two of you. "That was the most beautiful wedding ceremony I've ever witnessed" is a frequent comment I am honored to hear following almost every ceremony. I will meet with you several times, either in person or on video calls, so we can get to know one another and I can help you plan your ceremony. I also offer additional meetings for relationship-strengthening and marriage preparation if that is something you desire. Thank you for considering me.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>But it does come. Whether you’ve learned how to play an instrument, excell in Excel, get in shape or compete in athletics, you experienced success through correct training and continual repetition. If you are going to be transformed by the power of Christ, you must give yourself to training your mind. A new mind-set comes from taking direct control of your thoughts. THAT requires strength beyond your own ability. And your Father is more than willing to help as you do your part of asking and listening. Every day. Throughout the day.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Book - Let’s face it, being a genuine godly man is harder than ever.</image:title>
      <image:caption>You want to be thought of as a godly man. You want to have a positive influence on your family, coworkers, clients, and friends. But we all get tripped up and often don’t live up to our full potential. Now is the time to change all of that. Now is the time to own who you are by understanding how you’re wired - your core needs. Put forth the effort to understand who God is making you to be! What you crave is RAH - Respect, Admiration, and Honor. Learn how to better understand yourself, the men you work with, and the man you married. Based on scientific and biblical research, this book will give you the confidence you need to be the man God created you to be. A FREE audiobook is available with every paperback and ebook. Using the insights of accomplished authors: Dr. Emerson Eggerichs author of Love and Respect, Shaunti Feldhahn author of for women only, Admiral William H. McRaven author of Make Your Bed, Stephen Mansfield author of Mansfield’s Book of Manly Men, and Bernard T. Ferrari author of Power Listening, Bill applies the RAH Principle of Respect, Admiration, and Honor to a man’s workplace. Every man was created in the image of God with core needs, and given unique responsibilities in this life to fulfill his destiny. Discover yours.</image:caption>
