Welcome to the Word of Life AG podcast! Today, Pastor Tom brings us a special message and an important reality check… If you're looking for next steps, please head to our website at https://www.wordoflifeag.org/

In this message, we walk through Romans 1:11 and the biblical foundation for spiritual gifts. Paul's desire to "impart" a pneumatic, Spirit driven gift is connected to stability, calling, and Kingdom Builders participation. You'll hear a clear breakdown of spiritual gifts in three categories: administrative gifts (Romans 12), leadership gifts (Ephesians 4), and manifestation or power gifts (1 Corinthians 12). We also cover how gifts are distributed by the Holy Spirit, why the church cannot neglect them, and how prophecy, impartation, and spiritual alignment help believers step into their assignment. If you've wondered what you're called to, how to discover your gifting, or how prophetic presbytery works, this sermon is for you.

In this episode of the GrowLeader Podcast, Pastor Chris Hodges interviews David Ashcraft, former senior pastor of LCBC Church and President of the Global Leadership Network, about leadership, longevity, and the personal cost of leading well.  David shares lessons from decades of ministry, scaling a multi-site church, navigating conflict, and transitioning leadership successfully.

What does spiritual growth actually look like over time? In this message from guest speaker Paul Austin unpacks 1 John 2:12–14 and describes the journey of discipleship—from learning you're forgiven and loved, to becoming strong in truth, to maturing into a spiritual “father/mother” who invests in others. Along the way, Paul shares stories from coaching 8U Little League that connect to Next Gen ministry, resilience through hardship, and why the church must keep investing in future leaders as part of Kingdom Builders. If you're trying to grow in your faith—or help someone else grow—this is for you. --Connect With Us-- Need prayer, want to sign up for baptism or surrender your life to Christ?

Where local church ministry is funded through our tithes, global ministry is funded through our generosity.

In this sermon, Mosaic Church celebrates the impact of serving through Clarksville Feeds the World and connects it to Jesus' words in Matthew 25: when we serve the hungry and the thirsty, we serve Him. From there, we walk through Acts 2:41–47 as a blueprint for what a healthy, Spirit-filled church looks like: devoted to teaching, prayer, generosity, unity, and daily Kingdom growth. You'll also hear the biblical "why" behind Kingdom Builders as giving above the tithe, designed to fuel local outreach, global missions, leadership development, and campus expansion through a consistent, year-round model. This message calls the church to pray, make a plan, and participate in a "gathering stones" season where God strengthens foundations, builds protection, and prepares the field for harvest.

This week, we dove back into the story of Hosea and Gomer. As a typology, their marriage serves as a living illustration: Gomer represents the wandering church, while Hosea represents a God whose love is relentless. The core message? Sometimes the "bad" things we experience are actually God's surgical mercy, designed to save us from the "good" things that have become idols.Main Scripture: Hosea 2:1–9, Luke 15, Matthew 25:14-30, John 1, Psalm 23 Topic: 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?

What does it really mean to “run and not grow weary” when life feels heavy and you're just trying to hold it together? In this message, Paul Hurckman (Venture Missions) unpacks Isaiah 40:31—especially the idea of waiting on the Lord as active “holding on” (qavah (קָוָה))—and how God renews our strength as we keep showing up. You'll also hear how Kingdom Builders generosity is supporting work in tough places—providing meals, rescuing girls from trafficking, training women, and helping start churches—while reminding us that even in our own “duct-tape” seasons, we can be part of what God is doing in the world. --Connect With Us-- Need prayer, want to sign up for baptism or surrender your life to Christ?

Word for Today:Proverbs 22:6 TPTDedicate your children to God and point them in the way that they should go,and the values they've learned from you will be with them for life.Reflection:The first place God builds His kingdom is the family. Are you establishing God's kingdom in your home?

What kingdom are you building? In this powerful and challenging message, Seby invites us into life and ministry in West Africa, where farming, faith, and the gospel are deeply intertwined. Through stories of walking alongside the poor, sharing Christ in villages, and seeing lives transformed, we're confronted with a hard but hopeful question: are we building our own kingdoms—or God's? Drawing from Haggai and real-life testimony, this message calls us to stewardship, mission, and obedience, asking each of us to consider what God has placed in our hands and who He is calling us to reach.

What happens when the foundations of our lives are shaken?   In this message from Psalms 11:3, we explore the foundation of generosity and why tithing matters for believers today. This teaching shows that generosity is not about pressure or guilt, but about honoring God, trusting Him as our source, and building on a firm foundation. We cover: Why tithing is foundational Stewardship versus ownership Firstfruits, honor, and obedience How generosity aligns our hearts with God's purposes This message is for anyone taking next steps, feeling stuck, or seeking deeper alignment with God. Generosity is not about money. It is about lordship, trust, and obedience. Scripture references: Psalms 11:3 Proverbs 3:9–10 Malachi 3:8–10 Matthew 6:33 Leviticus 27:30 Acts 4:34–35 If this message encouraged you, consider sharing it with someone who needs a fresh foundation.

Pastor emphasized the biblical importance of generosity and tithing—giving the first 10% as first fruits—as an act of obedience that blesses both givers and the church. Regular tithes sustain Safe Harbor's operations and ministries, while the Kingdom Builders program invites additional sacrificial giving to fund global missions, local outreach, facility expansion, and missionary support. Attendees were challenged to be tithers first and prayerfully consider joining Kingdom Builders to advance the kingdom and experience God's provision.

In Episode 92 of the Grow Leader Podcast, Pastor Chris Hodges is joined by Pastor Mark Pettus for a timely and insightful conversation on leadership, transition, and long-term impact. Recorded during the 25th anniversary season of Church of the Highlands, this episode reflects on a year of role transition, the importance of celebrating wins, and what it takes to lead with clarity and grace over time. Together, they unpack powerful leadership principles around vision, execution, personal development, and innovation, offering practical wisdom for pastors and leaders navigating growth, change, and increasing responsibility. From building healthy culture to managing focus in a distracted world, this conversation is filled with real-life lessons forged through decades of faithful leadership. If you're leading a church, organization, or team and want to grow in clarity, consistency, and impact, this episode is packed with leadership gold.   All Things GrowLeader: Register for GrowLeader Conference 2026: https://www.growleader.com/conference Join Monthly Mentoring with Pastor Chris: https://www.growleader.com/monthlymentoring Access FREE church resources: https://www.churchofthehighlands.com/resources Develop a Kingdom Builders or Legacy Team: https://www.growleader.com/kbvirtualintensive Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyCNQpi3YxaOeQAIdSpbeVw   Follow along on Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/growleader/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/growleader

We're kicking off a brand new sermon series, Solomon: The Man Who Had It All, with a foundational message that frames the entire journey ahead. In this message, Pastor Christian Lindbeck introduces the central question that runs throughout the life of Solomon and, ultimately, through every human heart: Am I building God's kingdom, or my own empire? Using Scripture from Genesis, 1 Kings, and the story of Solomon's rise and fall, Pastor Christian unpacks two ways to live — a wide, flourishing life with God enthroned at the center, or a small, self-driven life built on pride and self-determination. This message also launches our second year of Kingdom Builders, calling our church to intentionally choose rhythms, habits, and priorities that keep us focused on God's kingdom. This sermon sets the tone for the weeks ahead and invites each of us to honestly examine what we're building with our lives.

In Part 1 of our new series, Love That Won't Quit, we step into one of the most unsettling stories in the Bible—the story of Hosea and Gomer. This is not a romantic love story. It's a revelation of covenant love, redemptive love, and a God who relentlessly pursues people who keep running away.Main Scripture: Hosea 1:2-3, Hosea 4:12, Colossians 3:5, Romans 1:24-25, 1 Corinthians 6:18-19Topic: 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?

In this message, Pastor Mark Bonilla explores the "health epidemic" of isolation, noting that social disconnection carries a health risk equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. He proposed that the only remedy is authentic biblical community. You will learn:True community requires looking intently at each other, not just passing by.Like an egg must be broken and moved vigorously to change state, we must allow others to "irritate" our status quo for growth.It isn't just praying "for" someone; it's walking "with" them and literally lightening their load.You don't sharpen a knife with a rag. You need "no-people" and challengers who are stronger or wiser to hone your character.Main Scripture: Hebrews 10:24, Galatians 6:2, Proverbs 27:17Topic: 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?

In this episode of the GrowLeader Podcast, Pastor Chris Hodges brings biblical clarity to prayer and fasting, explaining why fasting is not a burden but an invitation into deeper spiritual authority and alignment. He unpacks the purpose of fasting, different types of fasts, and five biblical fasts that lead to freedom, restoration, wisdom, spiritual victory, and revival. Pastor Chris explains why Jesus assumed fasting would be a normal part of the Christian life—and how fasting is not about punishment or earning God's favor, but about reordering our lives so the Spirit leads instead of the flesh. This episode will equip pastors and leaders to teach fasting biblically, practice it healthily, and guide others into deeper spiritual rhythms that bring lasting fruit.   Episode Resources: 21 Days of Prayer: https://21days.churchofthehighlands.com/   All Things GrowLeader: Register for GrowLeader Conference 2026: https://www.growleader.com/conference Join Monthly Mentoring with Pastor Chris: https://www.growleader.com/monthlymentoring Access FREE church resources: https://www.churchofthehighlands.com/resources Develop a Kingdom Builders or Legacy Team: https://www.growleader.com/kbvirtualintensive Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyCNQpi3YxaOeQAIdSpbeVw   Follow along on Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/growleader/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/growleader

A new year brings a fresh calendar, but for many leaders, it also brings pressure, fatigue, and the fear that this year might just look like the last one. In this episode of the GrowLeader Podcast, Pastor Chris Hodges helps leaders reset their lives and leadership so 2026 doesn't become a rerun of 2025. This conversation goes far beyond goal setting. Pastor Chris walks through a powerful, practical framework built on reflection and planning, showing leaders how to work on their lives, not just in them. Drawing from decades of ministry leadership, personal rhythms, and spiritual disciplines, he explains why clarity comes from review and traction comes from intentional planning. If you're a pastor, church leader, or organizational leader who wants to grow personally, lead intentionally, and start the year with clarity and purpose, this episode will give you a roadmap to lead yourself well, and lead others better.   Episode Resources: Pastor Chris's Podcast Notes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1R7zq4gKJgtBk3XY9wHpVumubXNexQO1g/view?usp=sharing 21 Days of Prayer: https://21days.churchofthehighlands.com/ 21 Days of Prayer Resources: https://21days.churchofthehighlands.com/resources https://youtu.be/RPTUuKGTy3s?si=gJdV1V8zYJbl36Hn https://youtu.be/x-kdUjOqThA?si=EXUeqPVQ0-rc0Hem https://youtu.be/8jqXLeB-T38?si=VaeGLszNJvCa54MW https://youtu.be/-utE_JsuMnY?si=OapCI4YDDjcjpNo9   All Things GrowLeader: Register for GrowLeader Conference 2026: https://www.growleader.com/conference Join Monthly Mentoring with Pastor Chris: https://www.growleader.com/monthlymentoring Access FREE church resources: https://www.churchofthehighlands.com/resources Develop a Kingdom Builders or Legacy Team: https://www.growleader.com/kbvirtualintensive Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyCNQpi3YxaOeQAIdSpbeVw   Follow along on Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/growleader/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/growleader

We all want a new year to feel different.But most change doesn't fail because of a lack of desire.It fails because of a lack of positioning.Jesus didn't say try harder.He said draw nearer.Fasting isn't about punishment.It's about clarity.It's not about what you give up. It's about what you make room for.This year doesn't begin with louder goals.It begins with healthier habits.With prayer.With surrender.With leaning into God at your inflection point.Some breakthroughs don't come from effort.They come from alignment.This is my year because this is my posture.Not a diet. Not a trend.A posture of surrender.Who's fasting something this week?Main Scripture: Luke 2:11-20; Philippians 2:3; Proverbs 4:20-22; Genesis 12:1-4; Nehemiah 8:10; John 3:16Topic: 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?

As we close out 2025, Pastor Lee sits down with his son, Harrison, for a candid year-end conversation. Together, they reflect on the personal lessons learned this past year, what 2025 revealed about our world and the Church, and the opportunities ahead as we step into 2026. From the importance of staying teachable and saying yes to the best yes, to navigating cultural tension, maturity in leadership, and responding to pain that touches every life, this episode is both honest and hopeful. Pastor Lee also shares highlights from this year's Kingdom Builders impact and offers insight into where he believes God is leading next. This conversation is an encouragement for leaders, pastors, and anyone seeking clarity, wisdom, and purpose as they prepare for the year ahead.

This message confronts the deeply held belief many people carry that they are disqualified from God's love, purpose, or calling due to their past, their pain, or their perceived inadequacy. Mary's story reminds us that God does not wait for us to feel worthy before He works through us. Instead, He meets us in our fear, speaks purpose over us, and invites us to trust Him with what feels impossible.This sermon reveals that God's grace does not ignore our unworthiness it overcomes it. The arrival of Jesus is proof that God draws near not to the impressive, but to the humble, the hesitant, and the unsure. Like Mary, we are invited to surrender our doubts and say yes to a God who makes us worthy through His presence.Main Scripture: Luke 1:26–38Topic: 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?

Chris shares the heart behind the project, songwriting stories rooted in Scripture, and why worship matters so deeply in the middle of cultural chaos. You'll hear the inspiration behind songs like "Still the King," "How Good It Is," "He Has Done Great Things," and "Help My Unbelief," plus a special story about partnering with the Birmingham Youth Fellowship Choir on "Jesus Saves." Whether you're a pastor, worship leader, or believer who loves worship music, this episode will encourage you and build your faith. The King is still the King and this conversation will remind you why.   Episode Resources: The King Is Still The King (Apple Music): https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-king-is-still-the-king/1822580562 The King Is Still The King (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/album/2ieE6Mqwu3aMWflIdIbNkS?si=ZH_W0w2wRHCZCiy05FVruw Chris Tomlin's Website: https://christomlin.com/   All Things GrowLeader: Register for GrowLeader Conference 2026: https://www.growleader.com/conference Join Monthly Mentoring with Pastor Chris: https://www.growleader.com/monthlymentoring Access FREE church resources: https://www.churchofthehighlands.com/resources Develop a Kingdom Builders or Legacy Team: https://www.growleader.com/kbvirtualintensive Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyCNQpi3YxaOeQAIdSpbeVw   Follow along on Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/growleader/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/growleader

Pastor Chrissy Cole closes the Kingdom Builders series with a powerful message on tithing and generosity. Through Scripture and real stories, she shows how giving isn't about pressure — it's about trust, obedience, and building something eternal. Whether you're starting small or stepping into deeper faith, this message challenges and encourages you to live open-handed and kingdom-minded.

Christmas doesn't have to be either great or hard. There's a hope that overcomes anything. On a silent night, a light broke through the darkness. The world watched in awe as love stepped in. Jesus changed everything—including the life that's possible for us. We can experience the wonder of our Savior. Together we'll reflect on the hope, peace, joy, and love found in Him with our series, The Arrival.

This sermon concludes a series on Nehemiah by emphasizing how Nehemiah stayed focused, prayerful, and committed while facing distractions, lies, and opposition, refusing to “come down” from the great work God gave him. It highlights the importance of finishing what we start for God, showing how Nehemiah's completion of the wall led to long-term blessings, restored worship, renewed commitment, and future generations being strengthened. Ultimately, the message calls believers to be Kingdom Builders with Jesus—remaining faithful, resisting distractions, and building lives that honor God and bless others.    

In this powerful episode of the Grow Leader Podcast, Pastor Chris sits down with two remarkable leaders whose lives embody generosity, stewardship, and multi-generational impact: David Green, founder of Hobby Lobby, and Bill High, author, legacy expert, and longtime friend of the Green family. Together, David and Bill discuss their brand-new book The Legacy Life, a guide to embracing God's design for generational influence. You'll hear David share his family's story of faithfulness, the biblical convictions that shaped Hobby Lobby, and why he believes we own nothing and steward everything. Bill unpacks the mindset shift from ownership to stewardship and explains why legacy is far more than what you leave behind, it's what you set in motion. Whether you're leading a church, a business, or a family, this episode is filled with wisdom that will challenge and inspire you to build something that outlives your own lifetime.   Episode Resources: The Legacy Life: https://www.amazon.com/Legacy-Life-Leading-Difference-Eternity/dp/1540904806   All Things GrowLeader: Register for GrowLeader Conference 2026: https://www.growleader.com/conference Join Monthly Mentoring with Pastor Chris: https://www.growleader.com/monthlymentoring Access FREE church resources: https://www.churchofthehighlands.com/resources Develop a Kingdom Builders or Legacy Team: https://www.growleader.com/kbvirtualintensive Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyCNQpi3YxaOeQAIdSpbeVw   Follow along on Socials:    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/growleader/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/growleader
