Branch Life Podcast

Do you ever lose sight of who you are working for? We are told in the book of Colossians to work heartily for the Lord and not for men. In today's society, it is easy to lose your vision and forget who you are working for while trying to get even and losing contentment. Join us today for encouraging truths on keeping our hard work focused on God's rewards instead of man's edification.

Do you consider yourself a generous person? Do you budget your time and finances to give generously without strings attached? Generous people give constantly, habitually, and systematically over a lifetime but radical generosity is rare even within the church. Join us today as we seek biblical guidance on how generosity is important through Nehemiah, a Widow, and the Good Samaritan.

What is the Biblical view on Poverty? How did it start, will it ever subside, and who's there to run to? Have you ever considered Good Works to help the poor? If Christ laid down his own life for us, we too need to do the same for our brothers and sisters. We need to love with action and truth. But how do we do this within our busy lives that are often focused on ourselves? Join us as we learn how to love and do good works for the poor while examining our lives; is it full of not enough time or others or is it full of Good Works and Charity? We are called to be the light for others to see Christ. It may be hard work to be known for good work, but others will see the light of Christ shine through you once you start!

Do you really work hard? It takes hard work to be known for good work. We are told that our good works do not save us, so what is the point of doing good? We, as followers of Christ Jesus, were created to have our light shine before others so they may see our good works and be examples of Christ. Join us as we discover how saved people serve people no matter how difficult the task is while building a profitable impact for kingdom purposes.

Are we guaranteed a troubled-free leadership journey when we are leading and trusting with God?

Many examples in the Bible show God-fearing people leading, God's way, but the enemy still attacks. What should we do when trouble comes?

Nehemiah reminds us not to be afraid, remember the Lord is great and awesome, and will fight for us! During this finale of our LEAD series, we will learn how to keep calm, trust God, and carry on no matter what obstacle we are faced with. Anything is possible with God!

Nehemiah 4:1-15

How do great leaders make more leaders rather than more followers? Nehemiah had 60 different named leaders help rebuild the wall. So what was his secret? Join us as we learn how to teach, appoint, and allow others to serve so your load as a leader lightens because you can share the load while watching them develop their leadership skills.

What is the cost of being a leader? Influential leaders look before they lead and consider the cost. After prayerfully considering your leadership role, do you know God's clear vision on which path or decision you need to make in any area of life? We as leaders need to look and listen to God's voice. Join us as we learn how Nehemiah set an amazing example of listening to God's voice to prepare for rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem.

If you could ask for anything, what would you ask for? Outstanding leadership is not afraid to ask questions. Your Big Ask becomes your reality when God has the same plan for you. Nehemiah asked a big question and God provided. Join us as we discover great leadership questions to ask and how we need to be in constant communication with God in all our leadership roles.

What is your terrible privilege? We all have our weaknesses, but when we are weak, God is strong. Influential leaders turn their obstacles into opportunities despite their imperfections, this is what forms our character and our leadership style. Join us as we learn how God transforms our powerless flaws into new strengths, only by the power of our almighty God.

How can influential leaders go boldly before God to ask dangerous, life-changing, world-transforming, God-glorifying prayers? Join us as we learn from Nehemiah's bold prayers and how we can apply them and pray continually for the walls in our lives just as Nehemiah did.
