“One of my biggest pet peeves is hearing shepherds say, ‘Ministry would be great if it weren't for the people,'” writes Craig T. Owens. “In essence they are saying, ‘I am happy to do this, as long as there aren't any difficult sheep to deal with.” He goes on to conclude: “Sheep are your ministry! Even the sheep that bite you, kick you, betray you, and abandon you.” The question pastors need to ask is how to minister to people who cause them pain. That's the question I ask Owens in this episode of the Influence Podcast. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Craig T. Owens is pastor of Calvary Assembly of God in Cedar Springs, Mich.; cohost of The Craig and Greg show, a leadership podcast; and author of When Sheep Bite. ————— This episode of the Influence Podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of Bible Engagement Project.

Welcome back to the second half of Pastor George Sawyer's Easter message, "Turn the Page," here at Calvary Assembly. In this continuation of our Easter celebration, Pastor Sawyer continues the power of "turning the page" with a look into the powerful story of Peter and the transformative journey of turning the page in his life. As we explore Peter's darkest chapter—his denial of Jesus—we see a man overwhelmed with guilt and shame, desperately trying to crawl out of a dark hole. Unlike Judas, whose betrayal was terminal, Peter's failure was temporary, paving the way for redemption and restoration. Despite his denial, Jesus continued to work in Peter's story. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, Peter's next chapter was authored—a chapter marked by boldness, courage, and the proclamation of the Gospel. Acts 2:1-8, 37-41 reveals the dramatic turnaround as Peter becomes a key figure in the early church, demonstrating the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. As we explore Peter's journey, Pastor Sawyer reminds us that the Holy Spirit stands ready to turn the page in our lives, authoring a new chapter filled with hope, purpose, and divine enablement. Join us as we embrace the promise of new beginnings and allow the Holy Spirit to write the next chapter of our stories.
