In this split session from Arkansas District UPCI Camp Meeting 2025, we explore what it truly means to equip the next generation through the lens of Apostolic ministry. Drawing from Ephesians 4 and the example of the early church in Acts 6, this session unpacks practical ways to give young people something to stand on (truth), something to step into (responsibility), and a culture where they can grow and develop.

In today’s episode, we explore the essential role of follow-through in effective leadership.

In this episode, we talk about what it really means to be a disciple—someone who follows Jesus and helps others do the same. Using Matthew 4:19 and Ephesians 4:11-15, this message shows that discipleship is more than just attending church. It’s a daily journey of growing closer to God and living out His purpose. Discipleship is the goal of Church.

In our last episode, we discussed how to combat maintenance mode. In this episode, we focus on key things that must be maintained as your church expands, such as vibrant worship, unity among members, core values, and caring for one another.

In this episode, we’re discussing how churches can oppose “maintenance mode” and regain momentum. When church leaders and congregations fall into routines of simply keeping things running, it’s easy to lose vision. We’ll explore 7 practical strategies to help churches stay passionate, curious, and purpose-driven, embracing change and continuous growth to make a lasting impact.

In this episode, Ryan Franklin—host of The Christian Leader Made Simple podcast and author of The Christian Leader Blueprint—discusses the power of vision for purposeful living. We dive into the importance of defining both personal and organizational vision, balancing vision with calling, and the role of influence beyond titles.

This episode focuses on the Church’s unchanging mission to preach the unchanging Gospel, while recognizing that our methods must adapt over time. Though the mission and message remain constant, we must embrace new ways to reach the world with the Gospel.

In the final episode of this series, we tackle perhaps the most vital aspect of this series—submission. Supporting your leaders and aligning with their vision isn’t about relinquishing influence; it’s about fulfilling your role in God’s bigger mission. We'll discuss the importance of trusting authority, even when you don’t have all the answers, and how submission begins where agreement ends. In the body of Christ, every role contributes to the overall harmony of the church. Learn how embracing your supporting role allows you to make a lasting impact, no matter where you serve.
