🎙️ PODCAST TITLE:

The Barnabas Blueprint: Leadership Lessons from the Son of Encouragement

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

In this deep-dive episode of Awake Nations, we uncover the life and legacy of one of the most influential—yet often overlooked—leaders of the early Church: Barnabas, the Son of Encouragement.

Journey with us through scripture and history as we explore how Barnabas quietly shaped the trajectory of Christianity through bold mentorship, bridge-building between cultures, and a radical commitment to empowering others—even when it meant stepping out of the spotlight.

Drawing from the book Barnabas: Encouraging Exhorter by Bobby Clinton and Laura Rabe, we unpack powerful leadership principles that are just as relevant today:

• The power of encouragement in activating destiny
• Talent recognition and strategic mentorship
• Courageous leadership in the face of religious tradition
• Humility that empowers others to lead
• The ripple effect of standing for grace and inclusion

Whether you're a pastor, parent, entrepreneur, or emerging leader, this episode will inspire you to become the kind of leader who builds bridges, raises others, and leaves a legacy of transformation.

• Oversight should champion, not control.

Are you praying, fasting, and still not seeing breakthrough?

The issue might not be your passion—but your placement.

In today’s world, many are hesitant to commit to a church. They've seen control, endured spiritual abuse, or witnessed leadership failure—and it’s made them wary. But God is restoring His Church. He wants to show how good His family truly is when it’s built His way—by the Spirit, not by systems of man.

In this powerful message, Glenn Bleakney unpacks why true spiritual growth requires more than inspiration or isolation. It demands being planted in the right spiritual community—where covenant connection, biblical alignment, and Kingdom family become the soil for lasting fruit.

Discover how your breakthrough may come not by striving harder, but by rooting deeper.

📖 "The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green." — Psalm 92:12–14 (ESV)

Join Glenn Bleakney, Senior Leader of Awake Nations Ministries, as he unveils a profound understanding of the Church as an embassy of God's Kingdom in this transformative teaching. Glenn draws a powerful distinction between vision and mission—showing how they work together to create lasting Kingdom impact.

The vision is beautifully captured in Jesus' words: "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10). Rather than seeing the Church as merely a building or social gathering, Glenn redefines it as a community where God's presence is tangibly experienced—where His Kingdom is visible through transformed lives. This vision isn't about creating a perfect society through human effort, but about becoming faithful witnesses who provide glimpses of God's coming Kingdom reality.

This compelling vision becomes reality through mission—specifically, the mission Jesus gave in the Great Commission to "make disciples of all nations." Glenn unpacks how discipleship isn't about religious information or church membership, but about forming people who embody and extend God's Kingdom presence. True discipleship involves radical transformation where believers authentically share in Christ's life and operate under His authority.

Discover how vision and mission function together: vision paints the picture of what could be—a community reflecting God's transformative presence and love—while mission provides the practical pathway to realize that vision through authentic discipleship. Learn how like Jesus, we're called to both proclaim and demonstrate the Kingdom, addressing every area of human life with God's restoring power.

This teaching challenges listeners to move beyond being mere observers to becoming ambassadors of God's Kingdom—people who don't just await heaven but actively participate in bringing heaven's reality into our relationships, workplaces, and communities across the Sunshine Coast and beyond.
