The Bible shows us  that a pastor's calling is not just to reach the lost but to equip the church for ministry. A pastor's role is to train and empower every believer to serve. We are all ministers, called to bring God's love to those around us.

It's easy for church to become a personal experience—focusing only on what we get out of it—while losing sight of those around us who also need God and a church family. But God's heart is for everyone to know Him. Do we share that same desire for those who are still searching for Him?

My motivational quote for today is by – R. Roosevelt Thomas, Jr. “Let's stop believing that our differences make us superior or inferior to one another. A diverse mix of voices leads to better discussions, decisions, and outcomes for everyone.” - R. Roosevelt Thomas, Jr.  I love this quote and find its relevance extremely timely in today's divided world. My opinion is right; yours is wrong, which is an awful approach to communication and collaboration. Diverse thinking creates friction, which is a really good thing! This is where conflict resolution happens, allowing for innovations and combined thinking, which helps us end up in a better place than we started. The reality is that we all have our opinions based on our filters and perspectives, which are actually very limited.  This means that most of life happens in the grey areas where diversity and collaboration can create practical and valuable change.  Yet, many avoid the grey area so that they can be right.   YouTube: https://youtu.be/x1RwkK8flQE   About Eric Allan Eaton: Recently, Eric shared with me that his bank has had four organizations merge into one this past year. Yikes! Eric is a hardworking, honest, determined, and self-motivated individual.

This week we'll be studying Hebrews 10:19-27, under the theme of "Keep Moving Forward Together." The modern western world champions the idea of individual autonomy. Its two most devastating lies then are 1) that we can save ourselves, and 2) that we can do a relationship with God by ourselves. But the writer to the Hebrews teaches the necessity of meeting together, the danger of deliberately sinning against this, and the identity that unites us in the Church.

Lastly, Doug Norrie (@Locked On Nets) jumps in to discuss the news that Kevin Durant and Nets ownership appear to now be on the same page, with all signs pointing to Durant's willingness to stay and "try to bring a championship" to Brooklyn. What caused KD to change his mind about the trade request? How much credit should Sean Marks and Joe Tsai get for not caving to KD's demands? Do the Nets now turn their attention toward Kyrie Irving, or is he also staying for the foreseeable future? #Lakers #Thunder #Nets Subscribe to the Locked On NBA YouTube Channel: Locked On NBA Follow/Subscribe/Listen Anywhere: linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers Built Bar – Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Valeria Interviews Rich Andrews  — He Is The Founder And CEO Of Healios (UK) And Meliora Health (USA). Having close family and friends who've suffered from mental health conditions and dementia, Rich experienced first-hand the challenge of accessing support for both those affected by the condition and the families involved. In 2013, he founded Healios to tackle the global inequality of healthcare provision affecting over one billion people worldwide with mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions.  His passion for combining overall wellbeing, science and technology has led him to develop innovative services that optimize the ‘human touch' in the delivery of care to empower people and their families to live healthier and happier lives. This has led Healios to become the digital leader in the delivery of specialist mental health and neurodiverse clinical services for children and young people. Healios has now expanded into the US, with its US subsidiary operations under the brand name Meliora Health.   Prior to founding Healios, Rich gained knowledge and experience of global healthcare environments and health inequalities from an international career spanning over a decade working in biotech companies.

In this episode of We Are Vineyard we meet John Elmer, one of the Super Regional Leaders for Vineyard USA. Together Jay and John comb through John's story to explore themes of leadership, caring for the poor and marginalized, the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit, working through rejection and loss of dreams, and how John's early experiences have shaped the way he now guides other leaders. John grew up in Syracuse, New York. Right before his senior year in high school, he had a supernatural encounter with Jesus and was radically saved. He began a Bible study within a couple of months and never stopped. John went to college at Messiah College, where he majored in Biblical Studies and it was there that he met his wife, Gwen. Gwen and John planted the Syracuse Vineyard 30 years ago and have grown it into a multi-site church that has planted 13 other churches. John has also participated in translocal leadership, serving the Vineyard as an Area Leader, National Church Planting team member, Mission Partnership Leader, and as a Regional Leader for the last 10 years. John and Gwen have been married 38 years and have lived together in NYC, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, the squatter slums in Bangkok, as well as Syracuse. They have three children and five grandchildren that they love to be with. John is a big Syracuse University sports fan, as well as a lifelong Yankees fan.
