#198 –  Failure in ministry is inevitable. We have all had moments where we’ve blown it, dropped the ball, and missed the mark. In today’s episode of the podcast we sit down with our friend Brian Dollar to discuss his new book “I Blew It” and how failure plays a role in our spiritual growth, and the growth in us as leaders. You will never meet a leader who hasn’t made a mistake. So, rather than becoming a timid leader who’s afraid to make mistakes, how can you live deeper into who God has called you to be and learn from the mistakes you’ve made.

#197 –  There are good ministry exits and there are toxic ministry exits. While nuance and circumstance determines each unique situation, at the end of the day, there will be an exit. So - what legacy do you want to leave behind? Our goal with this episode is to have you, the ministry leader, understand how to leave as graciously as possible and with as much honor towards God, and people, as possible. In a season that is likely filled with emotion and difficult decisions, we want to help guide you through these steps with clarity, confidence, and honor.

#196 –  In today’s episode of the podcast we’re talking about transition. We’ll be discussing 7 indicators to help you navigate the thought process of discerning if it’s the right time for you to move on from your ministry role, and things to consider before you make any decisions. Leaving your ministry can be a very emotional time, and in today’s episode, we want to help you think through this process well, and also walk alongside you in the journey. Our hope and prayer is that you are loving and thriving in your current ministry role, however, life circumstances both within and/or outside of the church can lead you to consider whether it’s time to move on or not - and we want to help you think through it.

#194 –  As we close out this 5 part series on ministry multiplication, we take a look at Paul and how he set the stage for ministry multiplication within the early church and beyond. Throughout this series we’ve been able to see how ministry multiplication has been a key piece of wisdom passed on throughout the entire narrative of scripture, which begs the question - what does ministry multiplication look like in your context? It’s important to think about because like we’ve been saying; the success of your ministry is not about what you do, but what would happen if you never came back. The Kingdom depends on it - your ministry cannot end with you!

#193 –  Does your ministry have the structure to grow at the rate of your dreams and prayers? The early church grew at such a rate it quickly realized it didn’t have the infrastructure to keep up. Rather than double down and work harder, the apostles gathered their people around and multiplied themselves by giving away ministry in a way that hadn’t been done before. When faced with a problem, they multiplied themselves in order to solve those problems - and in the same way, we can notice the problem areas of our ministry and multiply ourselves in a way that not only fixes the problem, but helps that area thrive. 

In this 5-part series, we will be walking through key moments throughout the biblical narrative that highlight the importance of multiplying yourself and building up leaders to do the work of the ministry.

#190 –  Success in ministry is not measured by what you do. Success in ministry is measured by what happens if you never returned. There’s no denying that there will be a day when you are no longer in charge of your ministry.

Or will the person inheriting your ministry be blessed?
