EP40: Greatness Series - It Always Begins With Knowing and Cultivating Your WHY

Aug 27, 202104:32
EP38: Greatness Series - Don't Settle for Mediocrity

EP35: Our Identity and Radical Purpose
“As a Christian you cannot talk about your identity without talking about the action of God on you, the relationship of God with you, and the purpose of God for you.”

Jul 08, 202107:27
EP33: What do you bring to the table?
The world doesn’t need more Christians with massive bibles but who aren’t committed to Christ’s mission to be the change agents God desires to use to shine His light into hearts and and bring eternal hope to many.

Spiritual leadership is delicate. The expectation on the leader is huge. That’s why Paul pleaded — Brothers, pray for us — 1 Thessalonians 5:25. How we ought to heed the counsel with more seriousness.
Apr 30, 202107:21
