Ministry Staff Podcast

Today we take a look at how we limit God in our lives and the steps we can take to begin to succeed at seeing the power of God do the impossible for us.

Many people struggle with understanding God's purpose for them.  In this podcast I talk about God's purpose for all of us, and how to know the specific plan God has for you in this life.

So many people struggle with God's love for them. Their value to God. Today we look into God's own personal story of you, and what it means for you right now!

Some people feel disqualified for fellowship with God, but what does He think? In this podcast we take a look at God's perspective on your place at His table.

There is only one God that can - the Living God.  You can EXPECT Him to respond to you in a way that you can understand!

There's one power, one source, from which all creation came. And that power still rules over it all today. In this teaching we look at the Name of Jesus, and the authority we carry when we use that name.

We celebrate Christmas as the time when "WE" received the greatest gift. But what must Christmas be like for God, who got to GIVE that gift?

God is not a slave to your sin! Your sins are not controlling His will for you and sin CAN NOT change His mind about you! This podcast talks about our past vs. God's future for us and shows you how grace and can bring you a life that's better than new!

We have all been given a precious gift from God. That gift is the power to change anything in this life to align with His Life! And that process is simple.

Grace has already provided for you freedom from every form of bondage. All that restrains you from God's perfect will, grace will empower to change. Lets find out how to walk in that!

What's holding you back from taking hold of all that God's has given you through grace?  In this episode, that's what we look at.

So often God's grace is only known as a saving grace , but there's so much more that grace does in our lives when we understand how it works, and how we walk in it's greatness.

Before the foundations of the world, God laid out the example of forgiveness. In this podcast we take a look at that, and how we live it out in our lives today.

Ministry is not a profession, it's a fruit.  Let's get into why that is and how it works.

A heart of a servant is such a blessing to a leader, but it’s not discovered, it’s developed. This podcast is all about how we develop the REAL heart of a servant.

We want to be consistent in excellence and character. In order to do that we need to identify wrong behaviors and replace them with behaviors that build excellence and character.

Today take a real look at our heart and learn how to create the conditions for joy, peace, and fruitfulness in our everyday lives.

We all have gifts that God has given us. Many various gifts and wonderful gifts. But there’s always an enemy looking to stop that gift from being a blessing. If you're ready to serve with a renewed passion than check out this podcast.

God has a plan for your life, but we know there are things that can stop that plan. Things in us that keep us from being our best. You are going to need to make some changes and you might just be in the perfect place to do that!

Some people are a blessing to lead, and others are a burden to lead. It really depends on the heart of the follower. Today we look at that and talk about ways to be a blessing to your leader.

Actions can be deceiving. Just because you do something good does not mean it’s actually accomplishing good in you. In fact, the motives behind your serving could be holding you back.

Sometimes the way our leaders speak to us, or deal with us makes us feel like they don’t know who we are at all, and they don’t even care who we are, but does that really mean that they don’t understand us?

There's so many people volunteering or working in ministry that get nothing out of attending church. Some have even quit attending. This podcast is all about why that is.

So many people wreck the future God has called them to by pursuing it incorrectly. But there is a way to pursue it correctly.

So many people wreck the future God wants for them, by pursing incorrectly. In this episode we look into how we pursue the call of God correctly, and what happens when we don't.

Most people are fighting day in and day out with the life around them. That will lead to a life of frustration and restriction. There’s no way to find peace, and really excel in the things of God while living a lifestyle where you’re in charge. A persons ego - that “that I’m first” mentality, is what’s destroying everything they are working for.

No one is aiming to server without honor, but that doesn't mean we are perfect. Today we go over some ways to see the season you're in and how to do a self-checkup on how you're serving.

If you're not moving forward spiritually you will eventually begin to move backwards. Continue down that path and you walk away from God all together. Let's make sure that doesn't happen.

What we do always counts and when we start to feel like our serving is not important that's a critical warning sign. But GOOD NEWS, it's just a warning and today's podcast is about fixing that.

It's so common around volunteers and staff members to not know where to draw healthy lines between personal life and ministry life. After 25 years of experience on a church staff I've got some sure ways to help you set those.

If we don't do ministry right it can destroy our emotions, cause us to walk away from serving, and even walk away from Jesus all together. That's what we call BURNOUT. But if you know why burnout happens, you can keep ministry a joy in your life, and it never becomes a burden.

My leadership wants the impossible. That seems to happen often in ministry. Today we talk about why that happens and how we should respond.

Ministry can’t be about others, if it’s about you. Selfishness is the lid on your life. Period! Using ministry as a way to fix your own life wont work because wrong motivations will always lead you away from God. Serving is the solution, but GOOD NEWS, it can help!

It’s easy to misinterpret what you don’t understand. That leads to wrong thinking about your leadership and eventually you wont let them lead you anymore. You are limiting God’s influence in your life, by closing yourself off from your leadership.

It seems obvious that not working hard is a bad thing, but the real effects of that small decision are much more significant than most people think. There's a hidden principle at work that is absolutely changing your future.

There are some subtle things that will absolutely cause you to fail but you don't have to fall in that trap. Not only will these things cause you to fail in ministry, they will hinder your relationships with God and be an open door to the enemy to ruin your personal life.

Unity is a buzzword in ministry today but there's some real power behind it, if you understand the truth of unity. This podcast is about more than just how it works, but why it works, and how it can work through you.

This a question that everyone who serves or works in ministry has. In this podcast I get very real, and personal about the real value of church, and how you can make sure your heart is right about church.

We know there's things in our lives we need to change, but does it have to take so long? Is there a way to kick personal growth into high gear? The answer is yes.

My leaders is messing everything up, now what? Some changes are easy and some are difficult. We're going to look at how we see changes, and how to handle the difficult ones properly.

Talent and talented people can be a blessing or a curse depending on how you look at it. Society has one way of looking at it but how should Christians view talent? This is real talk about talent and talented people.

Here's a personal story about getting mad at my pastor and what happened when I begin to ask God what was going on. God's answered me and it changed my life forever.

Not every encounter we have with our leaders is pleasant, but do you know how much those encounter can change your future. You will if you listen to this podcast.

We all know that the point of ministry is to share Jesus, but there's some more to it than just that. In this podcast we move past the obvious into the real reason why we do ministry at all.

So many ministry leaders and volunteers shipwreck their lives and ruin their futures because they don't understand this principle.

If you're going to be a success as a staff member of a volunteer, you have to understand this 1 thing!
