Over the last year, most of us have learned that our discipleship experience is lacking. We have known for years that people weren't attending our discipleship classes, groups, courses, the way we felt like they should, but this year it became evident how bad things have gotten. So, many of us are starting to turn our attention to developing or improving our discipleship experiences. But, my guess is, you are leaving one vital piece out, and it could be the gamechanger you need.

It is March of 2021 and we are approaching the one-year mark before COVID19 and the world was thrust into chaos. Unfortunately, many pastors and ministry leaders are still overwhelmed, frustrated, and feel like quitting. In this episode, Dr. Brandon Pardekooper gives a little encouragement to stick in there and stay the course.

It is not secret 2020 was a challenge likewe have never navigated before, but 2021 has new promises,  new possibilities, and God is excited for what is coming.

In this episode, Pastor Matt and I discuss something that I fight all the time when I am preaching, but I know I need to do more of it. It isn't because I don't value it, but it is because I am not wired this way. Pastor Matthew and I unpack how to maximize the impact of your sermons by using this one simple tool as often as you can.

In this episode, I have the privilege of interviewing one of my dear friends, Pastor Jimmy Banks.  

Jimmy is one of the most dynamic pastors I have ever known and the best youth pastor you have never heard of. I have always appreciated his humility and genuine heart and we talk a little bit about that along with how he structures all the Next Gen ministries he oversees.

In this episode, I discuss the one thing that may be holding the church back, may be holding you back as a pastor, and maybe holding your church back from becoming all that God has called you to be. There is a great chasm between an abundance mindset and a scarcity mindset, and I think it is time for us to evaluate where we are.
