Welcome to the Cultiv8ing Ministry Podcast. This week's episode of the Cultiv8ing Minsitry Podcast revolves around the practive of celebrating the "wins" in ministry. In a world where the church world is inundated with the negative narratives and a overly positive portrayal of the "glory days", it is more important than ever that leaders in ministry celebrate the great things that God is doing in our midst. This week we share some misses when ministries failed to share the story of success and offer some reasons that it is more important than ever to share the "wins" in your ministry. Sharing stories of success can be a great way to shift the culture in your minsitry, so listen closely to see how to do it well. We wrap up with not one, but two random facts about Cap'n Crunch cereal. You won't want to miss it.

Welcome to the Cultiv8ing Ministry Podcast. It's a big week this week as the we celebrate our 40th episode of the podcast. We have some fun talking about how our podcast is moving into adulthood and remembering Mike Gundy's "I'm a man, I'm 40" rant (see the link below). Then we jump into a conversation ,leading up to our celebrating Independence Day here in the U.S., about finding a healthy line in leading in ministry when it comes to honoring Christ and our country in an effective way. In the current cultural climate, it seems that faith and nationalism lines are blurred too often in an unhealthy way, so we offer some explanation as to why we think that has happened as well as some pointers to walk that line in the proper manner. As always, we wrap up with yet another random fact of the week. Enjoy!
