Podcasts about equips

Have you ever felt inadequate? Do your tasks seem undoable? This can be frustrating when we have clarity from God's Word that this is what He wants us to do, but we feel incapable of doing it. That has to be how Saul felt as Samuel announced to him that he'd be Israel's next king. Yet in 1 Samuel 9 and 10, we see the example of God's Word and God's Spirit fully equipping Saul for the task ahead.

Pastor Mike takes turns our attention to the Word of God today. Not just for reference, but as the topic. Discussing how the word of God equips believers, for every area of life.

Brian Gibson joins us on the podcast today and he elaborates on the concept of sending missionaries and the ecclesiastical responsibility to support them. Gibson articulates that effective sending entails a triad of resources—meals, medicines, and munitions—drawing an analogy from military logistics to emphasize the importance of consistent support for missionaries on the front lines. He delineates the role of churches and organizations in this process, advocating for a proactive approach to stewardship of the Great Commission. Gibson's experiences in foreign missions enrich the dialogue, as he reflects on the complexities of cultural reintegration for returning missionaries. His insights illuminate the challenges faced by missionaries transitioning back to familiar yet altered environments, and he advocates for intentional debriefing processes that enable them to unpack their experiences and reintegrate holistically into their communities. This segment serves as a vital reminder of the ongoing journey of faith and the essential support structures needed for those who are sent into the world.Lastly, the episode culminates with a reflective discussion on the importance of debriefing, positing it as a necessary practice for spiritual leaders and missionaries alike. The speakers emphasize that debriefing is not merely a procedural formality but a profound opportunity for individuals to process their experiences, both positive and negative. They articulate that without the intentional act of debriefing, individuals risk missing the richness of their journey and the lessons learned therein. The conversation highlights various indicators that prompt the need for debriefing, including heightened emotional responses and significant life transitions. Furthermore, they discuss the theological underpinnings of debriefing, tracing it back to biblical precedents where God engages with His people through questions that invite reflection and understanding. This thematic exploration reinforces the notion that debriefing is an integral part of spiritual growth and community support, urging listeners to embrace this practice as a means of fostering resilience and gratitude in their faith journeys. The episode concludes with a prayer, encapsulating the themes of encouragement, reflection, and divine support that permeate the discussion.Takeaways: Biblical encouragement and admonishment are essential for the growth and edification of individuals within the church community. The teaching of Jesus emphasizes the importance of encouragement, urging us to take heart and not succumb to fear. It is often more necessary to provide encouragement than admonishment in the context of spiritual leadership. Understanding the significance of debriefing can enhance the effectiveness of global workers and help them process their experiences. The process of debriefing allows individuals to unpack their experiences and recognize God's faithfulness in various situations. Identifying significant transitions or emotional states in others can prompt meaningful debriefing conversations that foster healing.

What if one of the greatest sources of confidence, purpose, and momentum in your life is understanding how Jesus sees you?In this episode of Take Care & Live!, Dr. Stephen V. Peters unpacks a powerful passage from Matthew 4:18-19 and explores five transformative things Jesus does for every person who chooses to walk in relationship with Him.Jesus doesn't simply call people—He sees them, develops them, equips them, gives them meaningful work to do, and places them in position to impact others.In this episode, you'll discover how Jesus:• Sees you – You are noticed, known, and valued.• Mentors you – He invites you to follow Him and learn His ways.• Equips you – He transforms you for the opportunities and challenges ahead.• Gives you an assignment – Your life has purpose and meaningful work to accomplish.• Draws you to an audience – Your gifts and experiences are meant to serve and influence others.Following Jesus doesn't exempt us from conflict, disappointment, or hardship. But it does remind us that we are not alone, we have value, and our lives carry purpose.If you've been questioning your worth, searching for direction, or needing renewed confidence for the week ahead, this episode is for you.Scripture: Matthew 4:18-19 Take a listen, reflect on where Jesus is shaping your life, and step into this week knowing that you are seen, being formed, and being sent for a purpose.Take Care & Live!00:00 Going Nowhere?

After a few months away, I'm finally back, and this one is a heart to heart about something God has been stirring in me all year: hearing His voice and growing in the prophetic gifts.I get honest about the season I've been walking through (business stress, an ongoing legal battle, theology studies, singleness, and the in-between of waiting on God) and how, right in the middle of it, He has been speaking more clearly than ever. We talk about what it feels like when God drops a word into your spirit, why He gives gifts of the Spirit to ordinary people, and what to do when you feel completely unqualified for what He is calling you into.We sit with Ezekiel 2:2-7 and 1 Corinthians 12, and I share why I believe the Lord equips us in His timing, gives us the words, and uses our community to confirm what He is saying.If you have ever thought "I'm not prophetic enough" or "I'm not equipped for this," this conversation is for you.

Ghost Stories Pt. 3 | The Spirit-Filled Believer What does it really mean to be like Jesus? In Part 3 of our Ghost Stories series, Pastor Harrison teaches that we're not called to simply imitate Jesus on the outside—we're transformed into His image through the work of the Holy Spirit. From Luke 3, we see that the Holy Spirit: • Affirms our identity as God's children. • Sends us out with purpose. • Equips us to live the life God has called us to. The Christian life isn't about striving harder—it's about being transformed by the Spirit. Scriptures: Luke 3, Luke 4, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Romans 8:16, John 14:12, 1 Corinthians 12 #HolySpirit #GhostStories #KingdomChurch #SpiritFilled #Jesus #BibleTeaching

The sermon explores how the ascended Christ actively cares for His church by providing appointed officers and ordained means of grace. It emphasizes that elders and deacons are divine gifts intended to equip all believers for ministry rather than carrying the burden alone. The preacher highlights that spiritual maturity is measured by growing into Christ's likeness through truth and love, not by cultural standards or individual achievement. This process protects the congregation from false teaching and fosters a stable, unified body where every member serves one another. Ultimately, the message encourages the church to rely on God's provision for its growth and protection as it prepares for leadership nominations.

Fr James Arblaster says God consistently chooses unlikely and flawed individuals for His purposes, then gives them the gifts and strength they need. Pentecost extends beyond the apostles to all believers, each given different gifts for the same shared mission, for the renewal and healing of the world

Gideon couldn't believe the call was for him. His tribe was the weakest. He was the least in his family. And God didn't argue with any of that. He didn't say you're wrong, you're actually quite capable. He simply said I will be with you. The issue was never Gideon's résumé. It was God's presence. That is the consistent logic of calling throughout Scripture. He doesn't call the equipped. He equips the called. And the equipment He provides is Himself. Most of us quietly assume the call is for somebody else, our neighbor, our Sunday school teacher, the more qualified person in the room. But the need you keep noticing might be coming to your attention for a reason. The call is not asking you to be ready. It's asking you to be willing.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Key Outcomes Scott Sullivan and John Spencer (Discipleship Team Leader at Sherwood Baptist  Church in Albany, GA) introduced FORMED, A Discipleship Culture Blueprint, a new resource developed over 2.5 years to help Georgia Baptist churches create disciple-making cultures rather than programs. This resource addresses the core question: How do we reach new people, connect them to the church, move them to spiritual maturity,  and launch them to multiply. Resource Overview FORMED Structure: • Four core elements: Real Relationships, Transformational Teaching, Disciple Making Environments, and Intentional Multiplication • Built from dozens of pastor roundtables identifying common church struggles. • Developed by Scott Sullivan, Ray Sullivan (now Pastor at First Waycross), and PJ  Dunn (overseeing Revitalization at the Georgia Baptist Mission Board) • Will be taught through six regional cohorts led by trained leaders, including John. Key Definitions: • Culture: The shared expression of beliefs, values, and rhythms that define an  organization's identity; "how it feels" rather than just mission or vision• Disciple (Georgia Baptist definition): A committed, passionate follower of Jesus  Christ, based on 2 Timothy 2:1-7's four generations of disciples and three-word pictures (soldier, athlete, farmer) Critical Leadership Questions Three essential questions every pastor should answer: • Do we have a culture of discipleship, and is it working? • Do you have a definition of a biblical disciple for your people? • Does the culture and success of the ministry depend solely on you as the leader? Core Principle: "I hope so is not a strategy" - churches cannot keep running the same play if it's not helping them win. Real Relationships Framework Foundation: Jesus invited disciples into a relationship ("follow me"), not a program - discipleship happens best within relational contexts. The Rebar Principle:• Like rebar tied together before concrete is poured creates tensile strength,  intentionally tied relationships provide reinforcement when storms come • Without tied relationships, ministry cracks under pressure • You cannot pour ministry on top of relationships you never tied together 2:00 AM Friendships: • Deep, loyal, hesed-type Old Testament connections that never walk away • Many mature believers lack these foundational relationships Sherwood Church Model Disciple Definition at Sherwood: Know Christ, Love God, Unite with Believers, Serve the World, and Entrust the Gospel - visible everywhere (classrooms, atrium, new member materials) to maintain cultural focus. Sherwood on Mission Class: • Equips members to live gospel-centered lives daily, not just share gospel facts • Most valuable component: hearing stories of others interacting with people in their  zones (work, home, neighborhood) • Available to share with other churches upon request Practical Implementation: • Michael Catt established Wednesday morning Cracker Barrel group with 5-6 men  who could speak candidly into his leadership • Prayer walking neighborhoods with an online sign-up chart tracking coverage across  Albany • Daily Bible reading groups (using MacArthur Daily Bible) meeting at 6:00 AM Overcoming Barriers to Connection Common Church Barriers: • Poor or insufficient signage around campus • Greeters who overwhelm rather than read people appropriately • "Holy huddles" that look inward rather than outward • Inadequate nursery facilities that parents don't trust • Inefficient processes (coffee stations, check-in) that create frustration. Key Insight: Confused people don't move; they wander - clear signage and processes are essential. Cultural Shift Required: • People want to be noticed, not just noted (Luke 19 - Jesus didn't just see  Zacchaeus, he went to his house) • New member classes must set expectations: "Your job as a disciple-maker is to  welcome people to your life, not just your seat." • Tell stories constantly - in baptisms, classrooms, social media, pulpit - to inspire and  give ideas Intentionality Over RandomnessMinistry Trap Warning: The managerial trap of settling to manage people rather than shepherd and disciple them - easier to manage groups than invest intimately in messy lives. Personal Disciplines for Leaders: • Start with personal abiding - "I can't lead what I don't do." • Distinguish between being in the Bible for your people (sermon prep) versus being in  the Bible for yourself • Pray specifically: "Lord, who do I invite in?" • Most successful ministry comes from one-on-one, one-on-two investments over time. Example: John invested ten years in a man who came hungover most mornings; now that man is leading a college ministry. Multiplication Mindset: • Invite younger leaders into discipleship groups to pass the torch • Equip them to replicate: "Now you go find some guys." • Story: A man moving to North Carolina took extra MacArthur Daily Bibles to start  groups there Practical Opportunities Beyond Sunday Services: • Partner with existing community services (food banks, deliveries) • Prayer walks in neighborhoods • Student car washes • Leverage natural contexts (pickleball example: introvert wife built new friendships,  led couple to church, provided support during medical crisis) Church Facility Design: North Metro Church built a massive foyer/mall effect holding 500 people, transforming culture by giving space for pre-service connection rather than herding people like cattle. Action Items • Georgia Baptist Mission Board Discipleship Team: Launch FORMED resource by the end of April, release four podcast episodes every two weeks for cohesive learning • Regional leaders (including John): Prepare to lead cohorts using  an overview/introduction approach (Matthew Gibb's piece to be distributed) • Churches interested in Sherwood's On Mission materials: Contact John Spencer at johns@sherwoodbaptist.net for manual/digital copies Closing Principle "A church that is easy to attend but hard to connect in will always struggle to multiply.  Bet the farm on relationships - Jesus did."

Transformative Truth: God Calls and Equips the Church for Unity Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Philippians 2:3 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.  Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:31-32 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, Ephesians 1:13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-Jews or Greeks, slaves or free-and all were made to drink of one Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:13 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named Ephesians 3:14-15 "that according to the riches of his (God's) glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being.

Resilience isn't about never falling. It's about learning, adapting, and choosing hope, every time. In this episode, host Peter Fenger speaks with Andy Pierce, Resilience Expert and founder of iBounceUp, a Honolulu-based nonprofit transforming lives in at-risk communities. Andy brings a Master's degree in Performance Psychology and extensive experience working with elite Special Operations Soldiers, Army Rangers, adults in addiction recovery, and resource caregivers. But his work with iBounceUp is deeply personal, born from his brother-in-law Matt's struggle with addiction and untimely death, the organization now serves as both a legacy and a lifeline. In this conversation, Andy reveals the five pillars of mental resilience: self-awareness, self-control, optimism, flexibility, and relationships. He shares powerful stories from Hawaii's rehab centers and sober living facilities, explains why connection matters more than curriculum, and opens up about his own near-fatal surfing accident that tested everything he teaches. Discover why being selective about who we share good news with matters, how our beliefs drive our thoughts, and why flexibility might be the most underrated resilience skill of all. This is a conversation about building strength in broken places, and why showing up consistently changes lives.   For more information about iBounceUp, please visit: https://www.ibounceup.org Consider a donation to iBounceUp and help transform lives: https://www.ibounceup.org/donate-now Connect with iBounceUp on Linkedin at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ibounce-up/ Connect with iBounceUp on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/ibounceup For more information about Andy Pierce and resilience training, please visit: https://www.bounceresilience.com

Julia Zwayne shares about her new book, a collection of poems and reflections shaped by seasons of brokenness and God's comfort. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar hear how despair often became where the Lord met her most deeply, turning sorrow into hope. The guys reflect on the value of lament, a form of worship often overlooked in the church, as a means that draws believers closer to God. Julia explains how poetry helps her process pain and return to truth, admitting past tendencies to run toward darkness but finding confidence in Christ. One of her poems, “Blank Spaces,” captures life's monotony and resonates with those who feel unseen. Together they affirm that even in despair God is near, His grace is sufficient, and He uses trials to deepen faith, equip His people, and ultimately bring glory to Himself.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Welcome to episode 215 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we will explore the benefits of topical preaching.• Addresses Immediate Needs Topical preaching allows you to address pressing issues your congregation is facing—whether cultural, spiritual, or personal.  It provides a way for you, as a shepherd, to be sensitive to the particular season or crisis your people are walking through and to show how God's Word speaks directly into those circumstances. • Connects Scripture to Everyday Life Topical preaching often begins with the questions people are asking and then draws them to Scripture for answers. This makes God's Word feel directly relevant and applicable to the struggles, relationships, and decisions of daily life. • Reaches New Believers and Seekers A topical approach can provide an accessible entry point for those unfamiliar with the Bible. Instead of beginning in the middle of a long, unfamiliar book, newcomers are guided into Scripture through themes that connect with their everyday questions and needs. • Allows for Thematic Depth Some biblical truths, like prayer, stewardship, or discipleship, appear across multiple books of the Bible. A topical series allows you to synthesize these themes and give your congregation a fuller, Scripture-wide view of how God unfolds a particular subject throughout redemptive history. • Provides Seasonal Alignment Topical preaching can align with church and cultural calendars—holidays, back-to-school rhythms, or times of national crisis—making the message more timely and impactful. • Equips for Apologetics Topical preaching allows you to engage cultural questions—about truth, morality, justice, or sexuality—through the lens of Scripture. It enables you to anticipate and answer the challenges your people encounter in conversations at school, work, or online. • Reinforces Doctrinal Foundations Topical sermons give you the ability to teach core doctrines systematically—God, sin, salvation, the church, and the future—ensuring your congregation has a balanced theological foundation. • Offers Pastoral Flexibility Not every season in church life is best suited to moving verse-by-verse through one book. Topical preaching allows you to pivot when pastoral needs, cultural circumstances, or church-wide initiatives require a different emphasis.. • Engages Different Learning Styles Expository preaching builds understanding systematically, while topical preaching organizes truth thematically. This variety can engage different types of listeners—those who prefer logical, verse-by-verse flow and those who connect best with themes and categories. • Models Biblical Integration Topical preaching shows your people how to connect passages from across the canon. It demonstrates how to think biblically about life by pulling truth from Genesis to Revelation into one unified theme. Connect with us:   Web site:  https://springbaptist.org   Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus)   https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)   Need us to pray for you?

What happens when a boy grows up in the crossfire of Lebanon's civil war, trains in Israel's military camps, and survives a bomb blast by a miracle? Pastor Pierre Altuna's life is a mix of danger, loss, and unexpected grace. From being kidnapped by the PLO to fighting Hezbollah, his story is filled with moments where death seemed certain - until God intervened. But this is more than a soldier's memoir. It's the journey of a man who knew “Christian” only as a label - until relentless love from his wife and a persistent pastor led him to surrender to Yeshua.  Now leading a vibrant Messianic congregation in northern Israel, Pastor Pierre stands as both shepherd and protector, guiding his flock through rockets, war, and the hope of reconciliation between Jew and Gentile. This is faith forged in fire, hope born in the shadow of conflict, and a call to stand with Israel for the sake of God's Kingdom. Key Takeaways Lebanon's Civil War shaped his identity - and his understanding of survival. Kidnapped by the PLO - rescued only through family intervention. Trained in Israel - learning the mindset of Hezbollah. Survived a bombing - a helmet swap he calls a miracle. From cultural Christian to believer - through his wife's faith and a persistent pastor. Leads a multi-ethnic Messianic congregation in Nahariya, near the Lebanese border. Equips soldiers - providing gear, training, and spiritual encouragement. Sees Israel as a living picture of resurrection after the Holocaust. Prays for peace between Israel and Lebanon like the days of Solomon and King Hiram.
