In this message based on Mark 11 and Hebrews 10, we explore how Jesus' actions in the Temple signify a call to move beyond mere religious rituals and embrace the transformative power of a life surrendered to Him. We will see what Jesus has to say about the true essence of worship, confronting our idols, and who we are called to be as the Church.

In this episode, Wade shares 10 ways leaders can avoid burnout and prevent future regret in their lives.

Far too many Christian leaders in the Church and Corporate world struggle with burnout - feeling disconnected from God, neglecting their health, having shallow relationships, settling for unhealthy cultures on their teams and leading scared…and they don’t even realize it.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. You don’t have to miss the moments that make a great life while trying to build a great ministry or great business.

You can actually be a joyful leader. That’s good news, because a joyful leader is actually more productive, builds highly effective teams, has a happier marriage and family, has greater impact, and is ultimately more fulfilled in their life than those who lead just chasing prestige or promotion.

Learn the “10 Commandments of a Joyful Leader” to discover the practices that produce this type of person.
