In this episode of Fortified, hosts Cory Piatt and Dave Harrell continue their study of Seven Key Principles for Effective Ministry as they return to The Goal of Christian Ministry. Building on the foundation laid in Part 1, they press deeper into Scripture’s vision for what ministry is truly meant to accomplish—not worldly influence, personal ambition, or external metrics, but the exaltation of Christ through the spiritual growth of His people. Cory and Dave explore additional biblical texts and theological convictions that illuminate how genuine ministry seeks to shape believers into mature disciples who display the character and glory of Christ in everyday life. With thoughtful guidance and pastoral warmth, they encourage listeners to measure ministry not by momentary results but by enduring faithfulness to God’s Word and God’s purposes. Join them as they continue this vital conversation, calling Christians to labor with their eyes fixed on Christ and the eternal impact of a ministry devoted to Him.
