A subject dear to my heart is world missions. Jesus didn't say SEND - He said GO!! The benefits of taking a missions trip are innumerable, but we look at some of them in this episode.

Too many people use the excuse that they are not doing anything for God because they are waiting for Him to "open a door." This episode challenges each person to take their hands out of their pockets and turn the doorknob! There are so many opportunities to serve the Lord. Let's get busy!

Being the leader is sometimes a very lonely and isolated position. This episode explains why there are times of loneliness and how you can embrace the importance of what you do for God.

Even the best of Christians get discouraged sometimes! This episode gives a short list of remedies for those times when you are feeling down.

If it's for the Lord, we should do it right! This episode deals with the importance of doing God's work with excellence.

As a leader, you cannot always be sweet and kind and patient and forbearing. There will be times that require you to be bold, firm, blunt, unpopular and unflinching. You might even have to ask God to help you harden your heart so you can gird up your loins like a man and do what needs to be done. If you cannot do this, you do not deserve to be in a position of leadership.

"To whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required."Luke 12:48 What a sobering realization, that we will be held accountable for what God has given us. Ultimately, we will be without excuse when we stand before Him at the Judgment Seat.

One of the most consequential decisions a person can make is to leave their church. This episode gives a list of biblical reasons to change churches, and how to do it correctly.
