Pastors Podcast

Banning is joined by Michael El-Takrori, Becky Johnson, and Brandon Cormier for a thought-provoking discussion on the intersection of today’s idol culture and the Kingdom of God. We dive into the challenges we face as leaders, navigating the comforts, conveniences, and entertainments that come with secular idols. Are we being transparent about the cost of allowing these influences into our lives? As ministry evolves, we are confronted with deeper, more complex questions that demand thoughtful and profound answers. This episode gives insight into how we can better address these issues in a rapidly changing world.

Leadership is a gift, but it requires a deep reliance on hearing God’s voice and a willingness to flow in our calling without putting limitations on what He can do. Pastors Banning Liebscher and Wes Dunn are joined by Tamara Bennett, Senior Pastor of This Is Pentecost Fellowship Ministries, to talk about how leaders can sometimes overlook the harvest right in front of them because they are distracted by various pressures and concerns. Our own testimony plays a critical role in this process; by being transparent about our struggles, we offer hope to others.

As shepherds, our role isn’t just to feed the sheep, it’s to create a hunger for God’s voice. But how do we do that? Pastors Banning Liebscher and Mark McGovern talk with Pete Hughes, Vicar and Lead Pastor of King’s Cross Church in London, England, about how to practically wait on the Holy Spirit’s guidance in the preparation and delivery of sermons. Preaching isn’t just about delivering a message; it’s about creating an environment where people can hear from God in a tangible way.
