    This is a special episode for me. I have since day one wanted to get my dad on here to do an episode and the time has finally come. This week after Father's day seemed like the best time. The topics I could have covered in this one were endless, but I couldn't think of a better one than that of prayer. My dad has taught me to pray by praying consistently for my whole life. I can truly say prayer is probably the most consistent and important thing in his life. If you're looking for a "hack" or shortcut to a powerful prayer life you won't find those things in this episode, but there are some foundational principles shared that if applied and maintained will lead to the greatest relationship you could ever have.

    Less about ministry and more about day-to-day life this episode digs into the importance of having spiritual fruit. Having the fruit of the Spirit is in the same context as walking in the Spirit. Where and with who we spend our time in fellowship is the key to what our life will produce. This episode is more of a Bible study format, and hopefully less of our opinions. As always, we also get into practical applications for daily life, specifically for how to better produce the fruit of The Spirit.

    We begin this episode by talking about how church culture can form our idea of the ministry to be something that is such a small part of what ministry really is, and that thing is "pulpit ministry". We have even started hearing people say, "I'm called to preach," and what they mean a lot of times is they're called to the pulpit. In this episode, we want to expand the perspective and give a more complete and real view of what ministry entails. Maybe because you don't feel a calling to preach in a pulpit you have disqualified yourself as a minister. If this is you, then I believe you will find this episode helpful and encouraging.
