What does it truly mean to honor the leaders God has placed in our lives? This conversation digs into the heart of that question during Pastor Appreciation Month, and the answer goes much deeper than a card or a kind word. Brandon guides us in how we can lead the charge of honor this month at our churches.

In this episode, Brandon Stewart, along with Dillon and Leydanis Ritchie (CoastLife Church, Venice, FL), discusses the importance of having a personal team. We are all invited to ask the hard question for each of us: Are there people in our lives who have the ability to keep us accountable?

The call is clear: stop carrying the weight alone and step into the freedom God has waiting for us.
