New Year goals can be tricky. I'm guessing you either have a love or hate relationship with them, and let's be honest, maybe both! So why is it that we find ourselves feeling the need to make new goals year after year? Is it sweet nudges from the Holy Spirit? Has God given you a calling he's asking you to step into? Is there a sanctification process that needs to take place in certain areas of your life? On today's show, Illuminator Lynley Mandrell and I discuss some of our 2024 goals, seasons of life where goals have come from heartbreak, and how we determine what success and failure look like.

When God calls you to a new place, it won't always be a smooth transition. There may be hurt and heartbreak over who or what you have to leave behind. Lynley Mandrell joins me today to share her story of a tough ministry transition, what she and her husband did well, what they did poorly, and how much the Lord taught them in the midst of the mess. SHOW NOTES Just because the Lord calls you to something doesn't mean it's going to be easy. Find the balance between seeking counsel and allowing too many voices to pollute what God is saying to your family. Ministry is hard, no matter how healthy you think you are. Check-in with a Christian counselor on a regular basis. QUOTES “You take the things people say very heavily and then it makes you question, ‘Is that God speaking through this person? Are we doing the right thing or are we doing the wrong thing?’ This is when trust and faith in God comes in.” -Lynley Mandrell “There’s a sense of ownership, right or wrong, that people feel about their pastors. So it’s really hard to release them to other people or to a different kind of ministry. It’s understandable, the shock and the sadness that they feel.” -Christine Hoover “I think the thing that we have learned the most is no matter what, it cannot hurt to just have a check in with a Christian counselor pretty regularly. Ministry is really hard, and managing people’s opinions and perceptions is really hard. It takes its toll.” -Lynley Mandrell “I think the best advice is: go into transition with your hands wide open, saying, ‘Whatever you have for me in this season God, so be it.'” -Lynley Mandrell LINKS FROM THE SHOW The Glass House From Strength to Strength Head over to www.ministrywivespodcast.com to check out the great content already on the site!

In this episode, host Dave Fiore speaks with Dr. Judy Mandrell – pastor, community builder and popular radio host. Raised in Ft. Lauderdale, Judy has been on a lifelong mission to use every available resource to impact those around her. Examples include organizing a student walkout to protest unfair treatment at her recently desegregated high school, giving away her sisters' clothes (without their knowledge) to girls in need, and once even using a freezer full of freshly butchered beef to entice a crowd across town to listen to her faith story. Today, Judy's influence has grown to include the church she co-pastors with her husband, Gerald, a large radio audience listening to Real Talk with Judy and the very popular Sister Girls network that brings women together to encourage and give them hope. For this owner of more than 520 pairs of glasses, there is much more than meets the eye.

Zach continues to underwhelm Stefanie although he's starting to grow on Cecily a bit. But the big news is that Mandrell's villian arc hits its peak although neither Stef nor Cec think she's earned a villain label.
The essential message of Christmas—deeper than the sparkle and lights— is the very hope that can sustain us in a broken and often painful world. The Christmas trees went to the curb—or into their boxes--weeks ago. So is there any reason to think about Christmas now? Ben Mandrell, president and CEO of Lifeway Christian Resources, would say there is. “What I've found in just being a pastor over the years is that Christmas stirs up a lot of emotions that then have to be processed into January and February, particularly if you've had great loss,” he said. We have good reasons to celebrate Christmas. But God did not eliminate suffering and grief all those years ago in that cattle stall. Part of the joy of Christmas is that the essential message—deeper than the sparkle and lights—is that God, who wrapped Himself in flesh in Bethlehem, provides the hope we need to face the pain in our daily lives. “I think what I love about Christmas,” Mandrell said, “is it gives us hope that this broken and dark planet that we live on will not always be in this condition. That He has shown us through a real, historical event that God is not only there, but He is here to redeem and save and rescue us from the pain that we experience.” What can complicate the weeks after Christmas is that many who are working through their holiday sadness are now also negotiating the often-gloomy weather of January and February. “Whether I like to admit it or not, it's during these months that I feel most weak,” Mandrell said. “And also where I need His strength.” And that dependence on God's strength, Mandrell acknowledges, brings us back all these weeks later to One who wrapped up hope as the gift of Christmas. “As much as we love the ornaments and festivities of Christmas and all the external things that give us cheer, those things are temporary. And they're not a safe place for us to put our foundation,” he said. Read Ben Mandrell's article that inspired this conversation here.
There was a time of audience participation. There are two of these recordings.
Today on the show, Ben and Lynley chat with their own daughter, Ava, in response to some viewer mail that asked for more parenting episodes.

Listen in today to hear a first hand account of what it is like growing up in the glass house.

Christine talks with Ben and Lynley Mandrell as they reflect on their years in pastoral ministry. Ben is the president of Lifeway, but before that he and Lynley planted a church in Colorado and served at an established church. In other words, they know what it's like to be a pastor and a pastor's wife, but because they no longer are, Christine asked them to come on and talk about what, looking back, they'd do differently, what they'd do all over again, what they want people in the pews to understand about pastors and pastors' wives, and what they want pastors and pastors' wives to understand about people in the pews. As you can imagine, its' a very insightful conversation, and you'll also find out pretty quickly that it's a very honest and authentic conversation about the struggles and joys of pastoral ministry.

Quotes from the show: “Being engaged with The Holy Spirit and reading scripture and being in relationship with healthy Christians is important, because those metrics that we place upon ourselves are seldom fair or even biblical… It's culturally-created metrics that we've put up there that we're comparing ourselves against.” Connect with Ben and Lynley: Twitter: @BenMandrell IG: @benmandrell FB: Ben Mandrell Mentioned in the episode: The Snare of Compare talk Jon Acuff @jonacuff Connect With Angie: Website: chatologie.com IG: @angiebrownelkins Twitter: @Angieelkins Facebook: @chatologieangieelkins This episode was edited and produced by Angie Elkins Media

On this episode of The Millionaire Choice, Tony talks with Willie James Mandrell of The Mandrell Company. While most people don’t know the numbers, there is a huge wealth disparity between black Americans in comparison to white Americans and Asian Americans. Tony came face to face with this statistic in 2017, and it’s been a passion of his to address and highlight it whenever possible. Only by facing society's challenges can we hope to overcome them. Willie’s generational family story shows that anyone can become a millionaire, no matter their background. Willie grew up with a father and family who lived in poverty, but he chose not to follow his family's example. Inspired by his grandmother who became a millionaire with only a sixth-grade education, Willie made the choice to become a millionaire and reached his goal in his 30s. Willie J.
