One of the most basic tasks of any minister is to preach in such a way that people experience the Presence of Almighty God.

EP 210: How To Reach Prodigals Oct 04, 2021

Show notes

Lathan Craft knows something about reaching prodigals. Growing up, his mother worked as an exotic dancer. Then tragedy struck when both his parents died before he was seven years old. At his mother's funeral, the pastor told the audience she was a Christian (which he knew not to be true). This pushed him away from the church, but God intervened in his life. Lathan developed a heart and skill to reach those forgotten or neglected by the church. Don't miss this fantastic testimony!

During today's podcast, I offered a free download Lathan wrote called, Three Reasons People Are Actually Leaving Your Church. This brief ebook will give you insights on how to reach prodigals.

EP 209: One Simple Change That Will Revolutionize Your Ministry Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

Leaders lead. We all know that. But do we understand the difference between leading and managing? Most of us think they are the same. Your church needs management to be sure but needs a leader even more. Today's podcast shares a simple change in how you do ministry that will revolutionize how you see yourself and your calling. Join me!

During the podcast today, I mentioned the work of Dean Radtke at MinistryInstitute.org. I encourage you to interact with his materials.

Another resource I did not mention during the podcast is Seth Godin speaking about the differences between leadership and management. Though not ostensibly Christian, you will find his word pungent in separating one from the other.

I also mentioned a brief video you can watch about our work in Zimbabwe. We are partnering with Foundationsforfarming.org to train residents on how to utilize the water from their new wells. Watch the brief video here.

EP 208: Will The Church Come Out Of The Closet? Sep 18, 2021

Show notes

The Church has largely remained silent over the past decade whenever the acronym LGTBQ is mentioned. Some denominations have adjusted their theology to accept and welcome homosexual and transgender communities into their leadership ranks. Others declare their love for the LGTBQ community to avoid a media backlash. In this second part of a two-part interview, Matthew Karchner shares his journey as a committed member of the gay community for many years, telling why he left. Listen as he shares insights on how to reach those practicing the LGTBQ lifestyle and share the truth of the gospel of Christ. Don't miss it!

Although not an official endorsement, these two are ex-gay ministry resources:

EP 207: Straight - An Ex-Gay Prodigal Story Sep 13, 2021

Show notes

The Church has largely remained silent over the past decade whenever the acronym LGTBQ is mentioned. Some denominations have adjusted their theology to not only accept but welcome the homosexual and transgender communities into their leadership. Others strain to declare their love for these communities while avoiding any hint of rejecting people for fear of media backlash. You don't want to miss this two-part interview! Matthew Karchner shares his journey as a committed member of the gay community for many years, why he left, and his view on reaching the homosexual and transgender communities with the truth of the gospel of Christ.

I mentioned my recent trip to Zimbabwe. Here is a summary of our work there.

EP 206: The Subtle Strategy Aimed At Destroying The Next Generation Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

The Church largely ignores the subtle strategy destroying young people today. While we prepare sermons to inspire, Satan is busy infecting the next generation with misinformation designed to damn their souls. How can we combat this demonic strategy in our churches? Today, I interview Dennis Ritchie from Oasis Church in Cheshire, CT, who shares insights from the Book of Daniel.
