Podcast appearances and mentions of christian leadership

While the world celebrates Pride Month, Christians must be careful not to focus on one visible sin while becoming blind to the pride, immorality, drunkenness, gossip, dishonesty, and worldliness that often exist in our own lives. God calls His people not to celebrate or excuse sin, but to expose the deeds of darkness and find their identity, confidence, and joy in Jesus Christ alone. The rainbow is not a symbol of human pride, but God's covenant, faithfulness, and mercy toward a fallen world.

Most leaders must communicate in some way - and many Chrsitian leaders might often find themselves in a position to preach or teach God's Word. Whether it's a Sunday morning, a youth group, a team huddle, or devotional given in a small group - understanding the why behind the what is crucial. In this episode, Pastors John and Wayne discuss the purpose of preaching.

Today, we're pulling Reaching the Next Generation, Part 2 from the archives. The Church misses something vital when it overlooks the “dew” of youth that God has given to bring refreshment and life. Too often, we wait for young people to mature instead of helping them mature. Rather than counting them out until they are older, we can give them opportunities right where they are and walk alongside them as they grow. We have the privilege of being encouragers, affirmers, and investors in them.

John Wethington, Senior Pastor of New Day Church in Houston, shares from Genesis 50 and the story of Joseph, exploring how God works through life's most painful seasons. Reflecting on his own experience of losing his wife after a three-year battle with brain cancer in her early thirties, John offers a deeply personal message about faith, grief, and hope. Through Joseph's words, "You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good," he shows how God can use suffering to shape our character, strengthen our faith, and turn our pain into a ministry that impacts others.

Have you ever been in a church situation where something felt off, raised it, and had it go nowhere — and now you're trying to understand why?You can't have an honest conversation about church hurt without looking at leadership. The structure around leaders and the humanity inside them shapes everything. In this episode Jill starts with something that sounds obvious but rarely gets said honestly — pastors are human. Fully, vulnerably human. And when that reality doesn't have the right support around it, things drift. Slowly. In ways nobody sees coming.Jill walks through what church structure was actually designed to look like, what Scripture says about accountability in leadership, and what the story of Saul teaches us about how good people with real callings end up somewhere nobody intended.In This Episode•Why leadership is lonely in ways most congregations never see•What the New Testament actually says about church structure and accountability•How gradual drift happens — and why it's harder to catch than outright failure•Why the contrast between Saul and David is the most important part of the story•What “if you don't choose humility you will be humbled” looks like in real lifeKey Takeaways•The structure around a leader exists to protect them — not limit them•Drift looks like a series of small reasonable decisions until suddenly it doesn't•Scripture cares more about what happens after failure than whether failure happened•Anointed doesn't mean infallibleSeries NotePart 2 of the Church Hurt series.Keywordschurch hurt, pastor leadership, church accountability, spiritual drift, toxic church, Christian leadership CLICK HERE to learn more and join me for Wholehearted live virtual workshop June 27, 10-1 pm CT.  Come by yourself or register with the women in your world. Discover ways to work with me at www.thehappiestlives.com or www.myhappyvault.comQuestions?

What do you do when ministry gets heavy, life gets complicated, and your calling feels harder than you expected? In this interview episode of Youth Worker On Fire, Doug Edwards talks with Justin Terry, Experience Pastor at Journey Church in Colorado, for a powerful conversation about discipleship, calling, ministry leadership, burnout, family, and the faithfulness of God. Justin shares how God met him as an angry middle school student after his parents' divorce, how intentional discipleship changed the direction of his life, and how mentors like Scotty Priest, Hugh Kirby, and his dad helped shape his faith and future. In this episode, you'll hear about: • How Justin came to faith in middle school • Why discipleship and accountability changed everything • His journey from wanting to be a sports broadcaster to serving in ministry • What it was like serving in Alaska and later moving to Colorado • How ministry, parenting, church leadership, a house fire, and the pandemic nearly emptied his tank • Why leaders need spiritual disciplines, counseling, rest, and honest support • How the book of Jonah reveals God's grace, pursuit, second chances, and patience • Why Justin still carries a heart for Alaska, the UK, and spiritual renewal in America Justin also shares a phrase that has helped him through difficult seasons: Remember your calling and trust the process. Whether you are a youth pastor, student ministry volunteer, church leader, Christian educator, parent, or someone trying to stay faithful through a hard season, this episode will encourage you to keep walking with God one step at a time. ✨ God is still working in the silence, the unknown, and the process. _________________________________________________________________________________

In Totality Podcast is back this week with a powerful conversation with Laurie Krieg on sexuality, surrender, marriage, parenting, and the love of God.As parents, many of us feel anxious or unprepared when it comes to conversations around sexuality, puberty, pornography, identity, and culture. Laurie gives such practical wisdom on how to talk to our children with truth, grace, clarity, and love without panic or shame.Laurie shares her testimony of wrestling with same-sex attraction, sexual brokenness, shame, and the deeper longings beneath desire: the need to be seen, known, chosen, and loved. Together, we talk about how those longings are ultimately met in Jesus, and how God's love does not just expose what is broken, but empowers us to surrender, heal, and walk in freedom.This episode is for anyone who has struggled with shame, anyone who wants to better love people without compromising truth, and any parent, mentor, aunt, uncle, youth leader, or discipler aiming to guide the next generation with a gospel-centered view of sexuality.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if the separation you're feeling is not rejection... but preparation? In this episode of Youth Worker On Fire, Doug Edwards shares a powerful message about calling, wilderness seasons, spiritual preparation, and trusting God when people, opportunities, or familiar places seem to disappear from your life. After hearing a simple but profound statement, "Before God elevates you, He clears the room", Doug reflects on how God often prepares leaders by creating space, removing distractions, and drawing them closer before the next assignment. In this episode, Doug unpacks: • Why God sometimes separates you before He elevates you. • How Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness prepared Him for ministry. • Why David had to spend time in hiding before becoming king. • How seasons of loss, transition, and confusion can become preparation. • Why seeking God's kingdom first changes everything. • How God can redirect your life into a calling you never saw coming. • Why wilderness seasons are often where leaders are formed. Doug also shares from his own journey—how a music career path suddenly disappeared, how that season felt confusing and painful, and how God used it to prepare him for decades of student ministry. Whether you are a youth pastor, ministry volunteer, Christian educator, parent, or leader walking through transition, this episode will encourage you to trust that God may be doing more in the quiet than you realize. ✨ Sometimes God clears the room not to punish you—but to prepare you for what He has already planned. _________________________________________________________________________________

Have you ever found yourself replaying someone else's words, assuming they were judging you? Or maybe you've caught yourself criticizing someone in your mind, convinced you're seeing the situation clearly. If so, you're not alone. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I sat down with my friend Shannon Popkin to discuss her new book, Kinda Judgy: Finding Mercy for Myself and Others in Six Stories of the Bible. Together, we explored a topic that many of us struggle with but rarely talk about openly—judgment. What if the criticism we feel from others is often rooted in our own insecurities? What if the harsh standards we apply to others reveal places in our own hearts that need God's healing mercy? Through powerful stories like Jonah, the thief on the cross, and the woman caught in adultery, Shannon reminds us that while God is a righteous Judge, He is also abundantly merciful. His mercy changes how we see ourselves and how we see others. One of my favorite takeaways from our conversation was this: we often feel judged and become judgy in response. But Jesus shows us a different way. Though He was wrongly judged, He responded with compassion, forgiveness, and grace. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why judgment and insecurity are often connected• How contempt quietly damages our relationships• What Jonah's story reveals about our own hearts• How God's mercy transforms the way we treat others• Why the cross is the ultimate picture of love and compassion Friend, if you've ever struggled with being critical of yourself or others, this conversation will encourage you and point you back to the heart of God.

Send us Fan MailIn this solo episode of Spartan Leadership, Josh Kosnick tackles a problem that's quietly wrecking our society, our homes, and our boardrooms: the inability to hold two truths at the same time. From Memorial Day to the boardroom to your marriage, he breaks down how binary thinking masquerades as conviction while quietly destroying wisdom, trust, and culture.You'll hear why being “for” or “against” everything isn't strength, it's rigidity — and how real leaders learn to sit in tension, honor complexity, and still make clear decisions. Josh then walks through six practical disciplines you can start using this week to build the muscle of holding two truths without folding under pressure.If you're a leader at work, at home, or in your community, this episode will challenge how you think, how you decide, and how you show up when things get complex.

What should a pastor do when a child sincerely wants to be baptized in Jesus' name, but a parent refuses to give consent?In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, UPCI General Superintendent Dr. David K. Bernard offers biblical and pastoral guidance for one of the most sensitive situations a church may face. Apostolic Pentecostals believe baptism is part of the biblical plan of salvation described in Acts 2:38, but pastors must also consider the God-given authority of parents, the age and maturity of the child, and the long-term spiritual impact of their response.Dr. Bernard explains why pastors should respect parental rights, follow the Golden Rule, and trust the grace and mercy of God while ministering to children and families with wisdom, patience, and compassion.If you are a pastor, parent, youth worker, or believer seeking biblical clarity on baptism, parental authority, and pastoral responsibility, this conversation provides practical insight from an Apostolic Pentecostal perspective.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.

The command to be thankful and give thanks is overwhelmingly one of the most repeated commands in Scripture. Thankfulness is an exercise of the will that helps us see life more from God's perspective. It becomes an antidote to bitterness, and the more we practice it, the more we strengthen and develop that seed of thankfulness in our lives.

In Part 3 of our Advance series, Pastor Armando Palazzo explores a powerful and often overlooked dimension of spiritual warfare—not merely fighting against the enemy, but overcoming the limiting beliefs, fears, and false identities that keep us from stepping into God's purpose.Through the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000, we discover how Philip, Andrew, a young boy, and a simple lunch reveal one of the greatest spiritual battles Christians face: believing that what God has given us is not enough.Main Scripture: John 6Topic: 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.

What's up family?I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be faithful with anything that God has placed in our hands, especially when we may not always feel confident, qualified, or sure of where we fit, in the space of ministry.Sometimes we may look at other people's gifts, platforms, ministries, or callings and wonder if what God is doing in us is enough. But the more I sit with it, the more I'm reminded that growth is not always measured by platforms, numbers, titles, or visibility. Sometimes the deepest growth is what God is doing quietly in our hearts.In this episode, I talk through wrestling with the insecurity of being a woman in ministry, keeping the focus on Christ, and learning to trust that our testimony is enough when it points people back to the Savior.For anyone who feels unsure of their place, insecure in their calling, or tempted to compare what God is doing in their life to someone else's, I pray this episode reminds you that where God has you matters. Your home matters. Your local church matters. Your dorm matters. Keep the main thing the main thing: Christ, His glory, and making Him name known wherever He sends you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What happens after revival fades? How do you rebuild faith in a place where generations know about God, but fewer truly follow Him? In Part 2 of this special interview series on Youth Worker On Fire, Doug Edwards continues his conversation with Lance Kramer, missionary, and ministry leader serving near the Arctic Circle in Kotzebue, Alaska. After exploring the spiritual history of Alaska in Part 1, this conversation shifts to something even more personal: Lance's own journey of faith. From surviving a near-fatal hunting accident… to discovering Christ… to planting churches, discipling students, launching youth camps, and building sustainable ministry models in one of the most remote places in North America—this episode is packed with practical wisdom for anyone reaching the next generation.

What's up family? This week i'm back with a conversation on anxiety, surrender, and the peace of God.I've been going through Philippians 4 and what it means to bring everything to God in prayer: every request, every worry, every need, and every anxious thought. So often, we say we trust God, but our minds are still racing and our hearts are still carrying what He invited us to surrender. I talk through making our requests known to God with thanksgiving, the difference between reading scripture and truly meditating on it, and how His peace guards our hearts and minds in a way nothing else can.This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or tired from trying to figure everything out on their own. I pray this reminds you that God is not asking you to carry it alone. He is inviting you to come to Him, trust Him, and receive the peace that only He can give.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sharon draws from decades of experience in classical Christian education, student formation, counseling, and college advising to explore how schools and parents can help students connect theology to real life. Together, they discuss: Why students often struggle to apply Christian truth in practical decisions What “the good life” actually means from a biblical perspective How parents and schools can respond redemptively when students fail Why discipline moments can become discipleship opportunities The difference between knowing Christian virtues and becoming more like Christ How theology helps students navigate anxiety, uncertainty, and major life decisions Why “the best next step” matters more than fear of making the “wrong” decision Sharon also shares insights from mentoring students through college and career decisions, helping them understand that God's will is ultimately about being conformed to the character of Christ, not simply finding the perfect school, job, or path.

The greatest thing a believer has to conquer is self. To follow Jesus, we must deny ourselves, and we never outgrow that calling. This is not the throne of self, but the throne of Jesus Christ. As we leave self behind, our true identity is fulfilled in Him.

In Part 1 of our new series ADVANCE, Pastor Armando Palazzo challenges the modern church to stop living in defensive mode and start advancing the Kingdom of God.Jesus said that the gates of hell would not prevail against His church.

This week, I'm humbled and honored to bring you a conversation with someone whose ministry has made a huge impact in my walk recently— Pastor and Author Francis Chan. If you've been with me this season of In Totality, you know I've been taking my Patreon community through his latest book, Beloved, and this conversation is one that I've been praying for— and I cannot wait for you to hear it.Beloved has deeply shaped how I see my relationship with God. It confronted something I didn't even realize I was doing — trying to serve Him from a place of striving and performance, like I could somehow pay God back, instead of simply receiving His love as a daughter.Francis and I talk about what it means to know God as Father — not just as Judge or Lord or the One we serve — and how easy it is to miss the very thing we were made for: enjoying Him.We get into the difference between performing for God and truly abiding in Him, and why His love has to stay at the center of everything. You are going to want to listen to this more than once!My prayer for you is that this episode helps you slow down, receive, and remember — you are not just called to love Him. You are invited to remain in Him.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What does it really mean to be “called” to a ministry?In Pentecostal circles, pastors often testify that God specifically led them to a church, city, or ministry assignment. Congregations likewise take comfort in believing their pastor was divinely directed, not merely hired like someone applying for a job.But that raises an important question.After seeing a church advertise a pastoral opening on Facebook, a viewer asked: If ministry is truly a calling from God, is it appropriate to post pastor vacancies publicly like any other job opportunity? Does that diminish the sacred nature of pastoral ministry, or can churches faithfully combine spiritual discernment with practical processes?In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard examines the biblical concept of calling, the relationship between divine guidance and church decision-making, and how ministers and congregations can navigate pastoral transitions in a Spirit-led way.Whether you are a pastor, church leader, ministry student, or faithful church member, this conversation offers thoughtful insight into one of the most important aspects of church life and leadership.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.

As leaders, it can be easy to want what others have. Jealousy can wreak havoc on our mind and emotions. But is there a version of healthy jealousy that leaders should embrace?

There is a reason why Jesus picked people who were working when He was choosing His disciples. Today, we're pulling one from the archives: Discipleship Nuggets About Work. Work is redemptive because it teaches us responsibility, allows us to benefit others, gives us the ability to be generous, and trains us to solve problems, overcome obstacles, and live under authority.

So many of us are living with an identity shaped by the world, our feelings, our achievements, our past, our pain, our personality, or what other people have said about us. But scripture gives us a different foundation. Our identity is not something we discover inside ourselves; it is something declared by God.In this episode, I'm here with the team talking through what it means to be created in the image of God, reborn in Christ, and no longer defined by the old self, and I really enjoyed this conversation! We talk about why following your heart is not enough, why adding Christ onto parts of your life is different from being fully surrendered, and why true transformation is not renovation. it is resurrection.This conversation is for anyone who has been asking, “Do I really know who I am in Christ?"My prayer is that this episode reminds you that you are loved, adopted, justified, and called to live faithfully, not perfectly, but surrendered.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week I'm super excited for you guys to listen in on this episode! I'm joined by Trey Heflin, who you may be familiar with if you follow 2819 Church's worship team.This season has been anchored in John 15, where Jesus reminds us to remain in His love. In this episode, that invitation continues through a conversation about worship, surrender, obedience, and what it truly means to give God your whole life.This is Trey's first-ever podcast appearance and I'm so honored he's here with us! We talk about the pace and responsibilities of ministry and stewardship, and learning how to slow down enough to hear God in the stillness. He shares how worship became more than music for him, and how true worship is not just the songs we sing, but the life we live in response to God's nature.This episode is for anyone who yearns to hear from God or learn how to worship Him with more than words. I pray it reminds you that God is not just after a moment. He is after your heart, your life, and your yes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
