Ok family, I have a treat for all of us that I'm excited to share with you, and I mean ECSTATIC!This week on In Totality, I'm joined by bestselling author, Bible teacher, psychotherapist, a daughter, a wife, and a mother, and so much more, Dr. Sarita T. Lyons! And guess what!? She's here with her new book, Honor Thy Mother, that's just released TODAY as this episode airs!Many of us carry pain from complicated relationships with our mothers but don't feel permission to name it, especially in the Church. Dr. Sarita helps to unpack the heart behind her new book, Honor Thy Mother: How to Grieve, Heal, and Make Peace with Your Mother Wounds, and remind us that sharing the truth about our pain is not the same as dishonor.Tune in for an honest, biblical conversation about healing mother wounds, honoring a parent even when it's difficult to do so, how to set healthy boundaries, and breaking generational cycles.If you're grieving the mother you needed, navigating estrangement, afraid of repeating generational wounds with your own children, or learning how to honor a difficult parent, this episode is for you.My prayer is that this conversation helps you name what hurts, invite God into it, and take a faithful step toward grief, healing, freedom, and peace.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Integration causes all of our resources to cooperate, compensate, and complement one another. Today, we're pulling a series from the archives. Scripture describes the Church as a body with many parts. When those parts work together, there is health; when they don't, there is dis-ease. Vision integration is vital to bringing all the parts together to function as one.

Hey Fam! In Totality is back this week and I'm here with the team for a conversation about forgiveness, anger, and the call of Romans 12: “Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay.”Forgiveness sounds beautiful until the wound is fresh and the apology never comes. So, today, I open up about my struggle with wanting to defend myself, have the last word, or “get a lick back” when I feel wronged. We unpack what it looks like to trust God as our defender, lay the urge to retaliate on the altar, and surrender the outcome instead of waiting for God to “get them” on our behalf.We also talk through the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, why forgiveness doesn't mean ignoring abuse or automatically restoring access, and how hurt can turn into anger, defensiveness, or the urge to clap back. The team shares what it looks like to pause, pray, name the real wound, and invite the Holy Spirit into hard conversations.If you're struggling to forgive someone who hurt you, waiting for an apology you may never receive, wrestling with bitterness, or trying to handle conflict in a way that honors Christ, this episode is for you.My prayer is that this conversation helps you release the need for revenge, overcome evil with good, and trust God with the offense and the outcome. You can acknowledge what was wrong and still choose grace. Let God be your defender.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Vision's measurement is your core value. Today, we're pulling a series from the archives. The clearer, more obvious, and easier your vision is to grasp, the better chance you have of seeing it come to pass. It's easier to increase vision as you go than to get down the road and realize you need to shrink it.

In “The Mystery of Leadership,” Caleb Cole teaches from 1 Timothy 3:8–16 about the character behind healthy leadership. From integrity and self control to earned trust, faithfulness at home, and serving others, Paul's instructions to Timothy challenge every follower of Jesus to become the same person in public and in private. Ultimately, healthy leadership matters because the church has been entrusted with carrying and representing the good news of Jesus.

Apostolic Mentoring Podcast with Charles G. RobinetteWhat is the greatest threat to end-time revival?It may not be persecution.It may not be compromise.It may not even be false doctrine.It may be the subtle elevation of our own kingdom above the Kingdom of God.In this challenging and prophetic episode of the Apostolic Mentoring Podcast, International Evangelist Charles G. Robinette exposes one of the greatest obstacles to apostolic revival and global harvest: self-centered ministry, organizational pride, territorial thinking, and personal agendas that compete with God's eternal purpose.Throughout Scripture, God has always called His people to seek His Kingdom first (Matthew 6:33). Yet too often believers become consumed with building personal platforms instead of advancing the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.This message will challenge pastors, leaders, ministers, and believers to embrace humility, unity, biblical partnership, and Kingdom-minded living in preparation for the greatest harvest the world has ever seen.Discover why:• God's Kingdom is bigger than our organization.• Revival accelerates when the Body of Christ works together.• Competition hinders harvest but cooperation multiplies souls.• Spectators never change the world, participants do.• Partnership of Faith is essential for end-time revival.• The greatest victories come when we lay down our agenda for God's agenda.If you have ever wrestled with church politics, division, comparison, competition, or the tension between personal vision and God's global mission, this episode will encourage, convict, and inspire you to pursue what matters most.The world does not need larger personal kingdoms.The world needs the Kingdom of God.This is a prophetic call to unity, humility, sacrifice, and complete surrender to God's eternal purpose.If this episode blesses you, please subscribe, leave a five-star review, and share it with pastors, leaders, ministry teams, and friends around the world as together we work toward the greatest end-time harvest in history.Equipping Millions 2 Reach Billions.We love to hear from our listeners!

Needs will always be part of leadership, but they shouldn't be in the driver's seat. Today, we're back in the archives with another episode from Getting Better. Too often, ministry teams spend 80% of their effort meeting immediate needs instead of moving the vision forward. But when leaders begin to shift that balance, they develop more leaders, advance the vision, and ultimately meet even more needs.

On this episode of The Lead On Podcast, Jeff Iorg, president of the SBC Executive Committee, talks with Southwestern Seminary president David Dockery about his new biography, Steadfast, and the leadership journey behind it. Together they unpack key ideas like ‘convictional civility' and ‘leadership symphony,' offering a rich model of character-driven Christian leadership for today's ministry leaders.

What makes a spiritual leader trustworthy? Through 1 Timothy 3:1 through 7, Chrissy Cole examines biblical leadership and the character God desires in those who lead. Trust begins with calling, is earned through character, starts at home, and takes time, ultimately pointing us to Jesus as the perfect trustworthy Shepherd and the One we must surrender our lives to follow.

Recorded on August 9, 2026, this episode of The Mountain Podcast features Samuel Goulet continuing the Culture series with a powerful message from Revelation on the churches of Ephesus and Thyatira. Samuel challenges listeners to let Jesus examine the “lampstand” of their lives—rekindling intimacy, restoring love, and refilling the oil of the Holy Spirit—while also learning how to walk in holiness by refusing to tolerate what God wants to remove. With practical insight, humor, and a strong call to spiritual renewal, this message invites every listener to welcome the fire and love of Jesus into their home, family, church, and personal life.

Most people think following Jesus is about getting to heaven.Jesus had something much bigger in mind.When Jesus called His first disciples, He didn't simply invite them into a relationship—He immediately gave them a mission:“Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of people.”In this opening message of our “Wait…What?” series, we explore one of Jesus' most challenging truths:Rescued people were never meant to become spectators. They were meant to become rescuers.Main Scripture:  Matthew 4:18–22; Matthew 10:8; John 20:21Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

Send us Fan MailWhat does faith really look like when the church service is over? In Episode 3 of Gospel Unfiltered, host Cornell Bunting sits down with Overseer Jimmy Washington for an honest conversation about what it truly means to live the Gospel beyond Sunday morning. Together, they explore the importance of integrity, obedience, character, humility, service, and living consistently with the faith we profess. This episode challenges believers to examine whether their private lives reflect their public worship and whether their actions match the Word they hear. Using Scriptures such as James 1:22, Matthew 5:16, Luke 16:10, 1 John 3:18, and Galatians 5:22–23, the conversation focuses on becoming doers of the Word, allowing the fruit of the Spirit to show in everyday life, and understanding that real faith is demonstrated through the choices we make when no one is applauding. This is a conversation about authenticity, accountability, and putting faith into action. Sunday may reveal what we profess, but Monday through Saturday reveals what we practice. Join us as we go Beyond the Pulpit for honest conversations, real stories, and Kingdom truth. Gospel Unfiltered — new episodes every Friday.  Support the showThank you for tuning in with EHAS CLUB - Stories to Create Podcast

What does it take to remain faithful in youth ministry for more than four decades and still see your influence growing through future generations? In this interview episode of Youth Worker On Fire, Doug Edwards sits down with longtime ministry leader Hugh Kirby for a powerful conversation about youth ministry longevity, relational discipleship, mentorship, prayer, church leadership, and going the distance in ministry. Hugh has served in ministry for more than 42 years, including 17 years directly leading student ministry at New Hope Baptist Church in Fayetteville, Georgia. Today, he can look back and see former students influencing their own children, grandchildren, churches, and communities. But Hugh's ministry story began long before New Hope. He shares how God moved powerfully during his years playing football at Louisiana Tech, where more than 40 players and others connected to the team came to faith in Christ. Hugh reflects on the spiritual influence of his roommate Denny Duron, the leaders who invested in him, and the way God used relationships to shape his calling. Hugh also shares how Dr. Millard Box helped transform his understanding of discipleship as a teenager. Rather than building everything around programs, Dr. Box invited Hugh into a relationship-centered environment built on Scripture, honest conversation, accountability, and prayer. That experience became a model Hugh would carry into decades of youth ministry. In this episode, you'll hear about: • What helped Hugh remain faithful through 42 years of ministry • Why ministry longevity requires dependence on Jesus and support from family • How relational discipleship shaped Hugh as a teenager • Why relationships should come before programs • The importance of Scripture, accountability, and intimate prayer • How Hugh learned to build disciples who would disciple others • What youth pastors can learn from Jesus' progressive disciple-building model • How long-term ministry influences students, families, and generations • Why churches must keep Jesus—not programs—as the main thing • How mentors and mature believers shape a young person's future Hugh explains that effective discipleship is not simply giving students more information. It means entering their lives, building relationships, helping them understand Scripture, creating loving accountability, and teaching them how to walk personally with Jesus. This conversation is especially valuable for youth pastors, student ministry volunteers, Christian educators, parents, grandparents, mentors, and anyone who wants to invest in the next generation for the long term. Programs eventually end. Positions eventually change. But a life poured intentionally into another person can continue bearing fruit for generations. Listen and be encouraged to build relationships, make disciples, remain faithful, and go the distance in the ministry God has given you.

A quiet "integrity crisis" is unfolding in the lives of many Christian leaders and prophetic voices. We are living in an age where wealth is prioritized over wounded souls. Influence is measured by followers, numbers, platforms, and revenue streams rather than the heart of a leader who faithfully stewards God's flock. The Spirit of Mammon has crept into pulpits, churches, Christian leadership circles, social media platforms, and prophetic spaces. What once centered on shepherding souls has shifted toward building brands. What once demanded integrity is now too often replaced with image, strategy, and financial gain. This kind of leadership destroys God's people, erodes prophetic purity, incentivizes compromise, and tempts leaders to prioritize wealth over souls. A truthful question every leader must ask: Are you being led by God … or influenced by the enemy?   Blessings-  Melia's Services -> Faith-Based Services Melia's Books ->Best-Selling Books Hire Melia for Event -> Melia's Media Kit Melia's Courses -> Vertical Relationship Academy    

Leaders set goals by defining where they want to go. Today, we're back in the archives with another episode from Getting Better. Goals aren't just about productivity; they're about clarity of direction. When the destination is clear, you're far more likely to persevere through the challenges along the way and ultimately reach the destination.

Freddie Mercury was born to sing. Peyton Manning was born to play football. And Moses had every marker of a born leader — royal upbringing, elite education, position, power, and a real passion for justice. Then he killed a man, hid the body, and lost everything within a day. In this episode, Pastor Aaron Loy walks through Exodus 2 to show why competence and calling aren't enough without a formed soul underneath them. Then Ted Coniaris talks with Ruth Haley Barton — author of Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership — about what it looks like when leaders lose their souls, and how God does his deepest work in the very moments self-made leadership collapses. Includes an introduction to this week's Soul Practice: the Prayer of Examen. Scripture: Exodus 2:11-25. Week 1 of Soul-Strengthened Leadership.

This week, Jordan, Jay, and Nic join in for a conversation about spiritual warfare, repentance, and what it means to put on the full armor of God every day.After reflecting on the battles the Lord has carried us through, I realized that endurance is not passive. Sometimes we become so weary in our faithfulness that we stop fighting. Other times, we become so confident about the battles we've already survived that we stop guarding ourselves. Both can leave us spiritually vulnerable.We unpack 2 Samuel 11 and the moment David remained in Jerusalem when kings were expected to go to war. What began with being somewhere he was not supposed to be led to lust, sexual sin, deception, murder, and months of unrepentance. David's story reminds us why we must remain engaged in the fight, confess quickly, and never assume that past victories make us immune to temptation.If you're experiencing spiritual warfare, faithful fatigue, inconsistency, shame over sin, or weariness from fighting one battle after another, I pray this conversation encourages you. Seriousness does not mean joylessness, and devotion does not mean perfection. When you don't feel strong enough to fight, be honest with the Lord and ask Him to help you want what He wants.Keep fighting. Look to Jesus, hold tightly to His promises, and remember that you do not have to fight in your own strength.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Are we leading people or just ministering to people? Today, we're back in the archives with another episode from Getting Better. Ministering to people means helping them become whole and self-governed, and that is a key part of discipleship. But too often, ministry leaders spend 75% of their time doing ministry instead of leading. As a result, they have fewer leaders and more needs. Even if people grow through your ministry, they aren't equipped to multiply.

In this powerful message from we discover that Zaccheaus was determined to find his answer. He quit trying to just catch a glimpse but wanted to see and capture all of Jesus. These beliefs quietly shape our relationships, our confidence, our faith, and our future.But God never intended your childhood wounds to become your lifelong identity.Main Scripture:  Luke 19Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

No youth pastor, volunteer, ministry leader, business owner, or parent accomplishes meaningful work alone. In this episode of Youth Worker On Fire, Doug Edwards shares the three types of people every effective youth ministry leader needs: mentors, investors, and operators. Mentors provide wisdom from experience. Investors believe in the mission and contribute the resources required to move it forward. Operators handle the responsibilities, systems, communication, planning, and administration that allow leaders to focus on the work God has uniquely called them to do. Drawing from decades in student ministry, Doug shares how mentors from Youth for Christ helped prepare him to lead, how supporters including Johnny Cash and local ministry partners invested in reaching students, and how gifted staff members and volunteers made a large, multi-level student ministry possible. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why every youth pastor and ministry leader needs multiple mentors • How financial supporters and ministry investors expand the reach of the gospel • Why volunteers and operators are essential to sustainable student ministry • How delegation allows people to serve in their areas of strength • Why being unqualified on paper does not disqualify you from God's calling • How God brings the right people together to accomplish a greater mission • Why one mentor should not influence every area of your life • How to recognize which role may be missing from your ministry team Doug also explains why leaders should stop trying to perform every task themselves. The strongest ministries are not built around one person doing everything. They are built by people with different gifts working together toward the same mission. You may be the visionary, communicator, pastor, teacher, or relationship builder - but someone else may be better equipped to organize the calendar, manage communication, raise support, plan trips, or operate the systems behind the ministry. Ask yourself: Who is mentoring me? Who is investing in the mission? Who is helping operate the ministry? You do not need one person to fill every role.

Hey Guys! After a little break last week, I'm back with the team for a conversation about building endurance in the Christian faith through daily obedience, patience, and spiritual growth.Sanctification is a process, and so is building endurance. Using a lesson I learned from “ego lifting” in Pilates, we talk about why God may be more interested in our faithful reps than the amount of weight we're trying to carry. So many of us want the big moment, the visible calling, or the impressive testimony, but God often develops our character through the quiet monents each day.We talk about walking in step with the Holy Spirit without trying to rush ahead, remaining faithful when our growth feels invisible, and trusting that God is establishing roots beneath the surface.Through the lives of Abraham, Moses, and David, we're reminded that their public moments of faith were preceded by years of private preparation and obedience.If you're a new believer, discouraged by your pace, comparing your calling to someone else's, or wondering whether you're truly growing, I pray this episode encourages you. Baby steps are still steps. You don't have to reach the finish line first; you just have to keep going, looking to Jesus as the founder and perfecter of your faith.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Do you feel like God is calling you to something more—but fear, doubt, or hesitation keeps you from taking the next step? You're not alone. In this episode of Confident Christian Influence, leadership coach Pam Pegram shares why your obedience isn't just about your future—it's about the people God wants to reach through your life. If you've been waiting until you feel more confident, more prepared, or more certain before saying "yes" to God, this episode will encourage you to stop looking inward and start looking upward. You'll discover how one act of obedience can increase your influence, strengthen your faith, and impact generations. Remember... Someone is waiting on the other side of your obedience. In this episode you'll discover: Why fear often disguises itself as "waiting" How to stop overthinking and start trusting God Why confidence usually follows obedience—not the other way around How your daily choices influence others for Christ Practical encouragement to take your next faithful step How to walk confidently in God's calling Whether you lead in your workplace, your home, your church, your business, or your community, God has uniquely positioned you to influence others. It's time to stop hesitating and start walking in His calling. FREE Resource Ready to gain more clarity and confidence as you lead?

Is there anyone in your life who will require your best? Today, we're back in the archives with another episode from Getting Better. Often, we look for people who can help us do a certain thing rather than someone who can help us become a certain kind of person. Having someone in your life who challenges you to become better will, in turn, help you do better. Who have you given permission to drill down on your life, even when you don't like it?

In Week 2 of our These Things You've Heard Me Say. series, we discover that the gospel was never meant to stop with us. In 2 Timothy 2, Paul reminds Timothy that what has been faithfully received must also be faithfully entrusted to others who will continue the work of making disciples.Disciple-making begins and ends with God's grace. His grace fuels our faithfulness, sustains us through the challenges of perseverance, and empowers us to invest in others for the sake of Christ. Though the work is often costly, the reward is seeing God transform lives, and the lasting result is a gospel legacy that reaches future generations.Join us as we explore what it means to faithfully guard the gospel—not by keeping it to ourselves, but by giving it away so others can do the same.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

You change the way you prepare and the way you practice. Practice develops both attitude and aptitude. If you don't have a desire to get better, you'll have a bad attitude toward practicing. As we practice, our aptitude increases, we keep getting better, and that becomes the culture.
