Awakening with Glenn Bleakney

In this deep dive discussion, we explore Glenn Bleakney's teaching on the idea that modern churches may be lacking a vital element, particularly in connecting with younger generations who exhibit spiritual hunger alongside a distrust of institutions.The conversation introduces Glenn Bleakney's perspective, which suggests the church has adopted a corporate mindset that prioritizes efficiency over relationships and genuine discipleship. Bleakney proposes a return to the biblical five-fold ministry gifts from Ephesians 4—apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd, and teacher—arguing they are not mere titles but essential gifts for equipping the church and advancing God's kingdom.Our discussion unpacks Bleakney's understanding of the significance of the number five and how these gifts, exemplified by Jesus, should function collaboratively within the church to foster growth, unity, and outward mission, ultimately fulfilling Christ's purpose to "fill all things." For those interested in practical application, Kingdom Reformation offers resources aligned with these teachings to help churches rediscover this biblical framework for ministry and discipleship.

In this thought-provoking episode, Glenn Bleakney explores the church's post-pandemic reality, examining why traditional attendance metrics have declined while the need for meaningful connection has increased. The conversation centers on a powerful biblical framework: the five-fold ministry gifts outlined in Ephesians 4—apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd, and teacher.Bleakney makes a compelling case that these gifts, perfectly embodied by Jesus himself, aren't merely historical roles but essential functions for today's church. When properly understood and integrated, they equip believers, cultivate authentic unity, and enable effective kingdom impact in an increasingly disconnected world.The discussion challenges prevailing corporate, department-based church models, advocating instead for a return to relational, family-oriented structures where all five gifts operate in harmony. Particularly relevant for reaching relationship-oriented generations like Gen Z, this biblical approach emphasizes the importance of mutual honor, submission, and collaboration among diverse ministry expressions.Join us for an inspiring exploration of how embracing the fullness of Christ through these complementary gifts can revitalize the church's mission and restore its transformative influence in our complex cultural moment.Subscribe to the leader's community at https://kingdomreformation.org

Join our community - https://KingdomReformation.org In 1 Thessalonians 2:18, Paul makes a striking confession: "We wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan hindered us." This candid admission from one of the most effective ministers in church history reveals a profound truth: even the most devoted servants of God can face strategic interference from the enemy.The enemy's tactics of hindrance remain remarkably consistent throughout history. Like a chess player studying his opponent's movements, he watches for opportunities to derail believers from their divine assignments. These hindrances often manifest as:- Discouragement through repeated setbacks- Division in relationships and ministry partnerships- Distraction through urgent but less important matters- Delays that test our patience and resolve- Doubt about our calling and capabilityYet here's the extraordinary reality: what the enemy means for derailment, God uses for development. When Paul was hindered from visiting Thessalonica, he wrote letters that would impact billions of lives throughout history. What seemed like a frustrating detour became divine destiny.Joel 2:25 declares, "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten." This isn't just about compensation—it's about supernatural compression. God has the ability to compress time, accelerate opportunities, and maximize effectiveness in ways that defy natural limitations. He doesn't just restore—He revolutionizes our trajectory.For those feeling the ache of delayed destiny, take heart. Every detour in your journey has been collecting crucial experiences, relationships, and insights that will prove vital for your ultimate assignment.Remember: a delay is not a denial. A detour is not a dead end. In God's kingdom, nothing is wasted—not time, not trials, not even our mistakes. He is expert at weaving every thread of our experience, even the dark ones, into a tapestry of purpose that exceeds our original vision.You haven't missed your moment. You're not too late. God's ability to restore and accelerate goes far beyond our natural understanding. As you realign with His purposes, watch Him compress time and multiply effectiveness in ways that will leave no doubt that He is the God of redemption and restoration.The enemy may have hindered you for a season, but God's calling on your life remains unchanged. Your detour is becoming a divine setup for a comeback that will impact generations. It's time to step back onto the track of destiny, carrying with you every lesson and victory from the journey thus far.The full circle awaits. Your greatest impact lies ahead.A Prophetic Word for This Season: The Lord says, "Many of My children feel they've lost precious time. They see where they veered off course and the enemy's hindrances have left them feeling disqualified and delayed. But I am the God of the full circle. Even now, I am bringing many of you back to crossroads where you previously took wrong turns. This time, you carry wisdom gained from the detour."Watch as I compress time and accelerate opportunities. What the enemy meant to permanently derail will become the very platform for your greatest effectiveness. The delays have not disqualified you—they have developed you. The setbacks have not sidelined you—they have seasoned you."This is a season of divine convergence where seemingly wasted years are being redeemed with interest. Previous connections that seemed severed are being divinely restored. Doors that appeared permanently closed are swinging open with greater purpose. The very areas where the enemy sought to hinder you will become the stages for your greatest victories."Don't despise the detours—they have equipped you with...

Among these principles, trust stands as a cornerstone of godly leadership, echoing the faithful character of our Lord who remains "the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8).The Sacred Trust of LeadershipLeadership is a sacred trust bestowed by God. Whether leading a congregation or a corporation, Christian leaders are ultimately stewards of what God has entrusted to them. As the Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 4:2, "Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful."This biblical principle reveals a profound truth: while organizations may grant positions of authority, true leadership authority—what we might call "permissional authority"—comes from earning the trust of those we serve. Without this trust, even the most skilled leader will struggle to fulfill their God-given mission effectively.The Trust-Authority Paradox in Ministry and BusinessOne of the greatest challenges in both church and business leadership occurs when a person holds positional authority but lacks the trust of their team. This disconnect creates a leadership vacuum where influence should flourish. Jesus himself modeled leadership based not on position but on trust and servant leadership, declaring, "Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant" (Matthew 20:26).This servant-leadership approach, grounded in trustworthiness, applies equally to:- Pastors shepherding their congregations- Ministry leaders directing their teams- Christian business leaders managing their organizations- Marketplace leaders influencing their corporate environmentsBuilding Trust Through Biblical ConsistencyTrust develops through a biblical equation that reflects God's own faithful nature: Consistency + Time = Trust. This formula manifests in three critical areas:1. Your declarations: Your word as your bond (Matthew 5:37)2. Your actions: Walking the talk (James 1:22)3. Your timing: Fulfilling commitments when promised (Ecclesiastes 5:4-5)The alignment of these elements reflects the character of Christ and builds lasting trust. However, when leaders over-promise and under-deliver, they not only damage their leadership effectiveness but also potentially harm their witness for Christ.The Wisdom of SolomonSolomon, the wisest leader in the Old Testament, understood the paramount importance of trust and reputation. As he wrote in Proverbs 22:1, "Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold." This wisdom serves as a powerful reminder that our testimony as Christian leaders—built on trust—carries eternal significance beyond temporal success.Practical Applications for Christian LeadersWhether in the pulpit or the boardroom,...

Walking With Jesus: A 21-Day Journey of Transformation"Whoever says he abides in Him ought to walk in the same way in which He walked." - 1 John 2:6 (ESV)"Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace." - Matthew 11:29 (MSG)IntroductionTime has always been a sacred instrument in God's hands.

Join the Deep-dive team as they discuss Towards an Institutional or Apostolic Vision by Alejandro Rodríguez, a long-time member of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) since 1989. The book is addressed to fellow "warriors" in YWAM, encouraging them to reflect on the organization's vision and remove practices that are commonplace in ministry but do not align with God's expectations.Become a paid subscriber to The Kingdom Reformation leader's community and download the book for free! Sign up at https://kingdomreformation.org The book argues that YWAM is best understood not as a Christian organization but as an "apostolic mission.". This distinction is important because it impacts how the organization and its members see themselves. Rodríguez warns against falling into a "Para-church" mentality, where YWAMers view themselves as separate from or superior to the local church. Instead, YWAM should be "part of something greater" -- namely, the global church.An apostolic vision, according to the sources, has several key characteristics:It involves recognizing that God has already been at work and that YWAM has "a glorious inheritance" to build on and pass on to future generations It requires seeing YWAM as a family, not just a hotel where people come and go as they please It prioritizes discipleship, which is "a lifestyle," not just a six-month or one-year programIt calls for "passing on a legacy," not just delegating tasksIt means impacting society beyond just church activities, striving to be "relevant in society"It involves dependence on God, not moneyOne of the biggest threats to this apostolic vision is the tendency to become "institutionalized". Rodríguez draws contrasts between an institutional and an apostolic approach to various aspects of YWAM life and ministry:Institutional vs. ApostolicChristian Organization vs. Apostolic Mission [4]Looking Out for One's Own Ministry vs. Being Part of Something Greater [7]Bases vs. Missionary Communities [17]Leaders vs. Pastors/Spiritual Parents [18]Training vs. Discipleship [19]Staff Members vs. Servants of God [20]Pastoral Care vs. Pastoral Life [21]Delegating a Task vs. Passing on a Legacy [22]Students vs. Disciples [23]Institutional Presence vs. A Mission that is Relevant in Society [14]Ministerial Activities vs. A Vision to Follow [24]Bound to Money vs. Depending on God [16]Rodríguez uses numerous examples and anecdotes to illustrate his points. These range from personal experiences in YWAM Argentina to biblical stories. Notably, he emphasizes the role of families in YWAM, highlighting the challenges and opportunities they face [25, 26]. He also stresses the importance of recognizing "openings, opportunities, and urgency" in missions [27]. By responding to these, YWAM can truly make a difference in society and be part of God's work of transforming nations.The sources conclude with a call to action, urging YWAMers to reflect on what they have read and to allow the Holy Spirit to renew their lives and ministries [28]. Rodríguez encourages...
