In life and ministry, we often encounter the need to have conversations that are anything but comfortable. Sometimes, these moments can be laden with confrontation, the need to breach difficult topics, and a palpable sense of awkwardness. Yet, despite the discomfort, these conversations are crucial and can often be the gateway to growth, understanding, and a greater sense of collaboration within our relationships and teams. In this episode, Chris helps us understand how necessary these crucial conversations can be by offering practical and biblical examples and simple, actionable steps to help us grow in this skill.

In this episode, we explore how stepping into the awkwardness of inviting the Holy Spirit's presence can unlock incredible potential for growth and transformation in our congregations. Drawing from insights shared by Sam Storms in "Practicing the Power" and Jimmy Seibert's "Purpose & Passion," we learn practical strategies for cultivating a hunger for a move of the Holy Spirit, engaging our leadership teams in open dialogue, and boldly praying for His intervention. Through moments of worship, altar calls, healing prayers, and prophetic encounters, we discover that while the journey may feel uncomfortable at times, it's in those very moments that we can experience the fullness of God's power and presence.

In this episode, we confront the very real reality that each pastor, leader, and individual deals with: temptation. Chris delves into the vital connection between our ministry for Jesus and our intimate relationship with Him. He emphasizes the necessity of genuine introspection, asking if our souls are truly well-ordered and unveiling the barriers that keep us from true intimacy with God and others. Using the questions found in Psalm 139, “Search my heart, oh God, and point out anything that offends you.” we find that by addressing the underlying reasons for personal temptation, we can discover an ever deeper level of intimacy with the Father and freedom that gives way to fruitfulness.
