The Church today – in the West and the East – facesmany challenges, yet is called to a momentous mission – namely, the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As challenges mount for the Church, carrying out our mission proves difficult. Not only that, some of those tasked with leading the Church have proven soft or ill-prepared.The need for courageous spiritual leadership in today's Church is massive. But with too few of her leaders exhibiting these traits, what is the Church to do? Throw up our hands and pine away about better days? Absolutely not.Instead, Christians and churches must take steps to shore up our leadership gap. This requires us to lean upon the Spirit and the Word. There are also practical tips that can be applied to develop courageous Christian leaders for the days ahead.To speak to these important issues, Pastor Joel Wayne joins Andy on this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast. Joel shares helpful insights borne from his own experience leading churches and ministry efforts, both at home and abroad. Joel talks about the importance of partnership and strategic thinking, and also the simple willingness for leadersto pay a price if obedience to Christ so requires.If you find this episode helpful, please give us a positive rating and review wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

The letter of Romans strengthened the ancient church, brought reformation to the dark ages, has brought hope for 2000 years, and can change your life! This is a special four part series that spans the year of 2025. Today we are concluding this year-long study of the book of Romans. In these final verses, everything we're about to read is so fantastic, it's hard to believe it's true on a normal day. Let's look at three questions embedded in three promises in chapter 16: 1) Do you believe God's promise of reinforced faith? 2) Do you believe God's promise of revelation that sustains? 3) Do you believe God's promise of His coming glory?Let's listen in…LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:• Recommended reading for this series• 40 Days of Prayer & Fasting• Charlie Kirk• Neopragmatism• “Faith happens when the unexplainable meets the undeniable” quote by J.D.

In the letter of 1 Peter, Peter writes that the prophets announced something glorious that is for our benefit and not theirs. They were speaking, of course, of the coming of Jesus. Do we really take it seriously that something glorious that other generations longed for is here? The prophets, if they were alive today, would tell us to “wake up!” They would tell us to not take it for granted. They would tell us to live as if the world has changed forever. In this message Pastor Joel gets us to consider how we might do that, specifically by cultivating joy this Christmas season.

Jesus is called the messiah, which means savior, but what exactly is Jesus saving us from, and who did he tell that He was coming? Come and listen to Pastors Joel & Chase as they celebrate Christmas by examining biblical prophecy of Jesus.

In this first message from our new series, Do You Hear What I Hear?, Pastor Joel Sims shares that God has good plans for your life that He reveals to us by the Spirit. But it's important to know that to get the Spirit's guidance, you have to be spiritual.

The letter of Romans strengthened the ancient church, brought reformation to the dark ages, has brought hope for 2000 years, and can change your life! This is a special four part series that spans the year of 2025. In Romans, Paul has been teaching us about the unity of the Body of Christ—not as uniformity, but as a recognition of our God-given differences, which can span everything from political affiliation to personal preferences. In chapter 16, Paul takes an interesting turn and reminds us that unity is never completely free of conflict. We often assume that peace means the absence of conflict, or that unity means we never disagree. But true unity takes work—pressing through conflict and handling it in the right way.Let's listen in…LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:• Recommended reading for this series• Amanda Ripley's book “High Conflict: Why We Get Trapped and How We Get Out”• Download the free study guide, complete transcript, and show notes here.• Scripture References: Romans 16, verses 17-23; Titus 3, verse 10; Matthew 10, verse 16• Find out more about Covenant Church at ⁠covenantexperience.com

John the Baptist had a unique calling. He came not to give people what they'd always wanted—the good news of Jesus—but to help people wait well for it. Which, if we're honest, is kind of weird. Why wait? What good would that be? That's probably what we think when we hear that. But if we can understand God's intention, we can begin to understand how necessary waiting actually is. John's ministry shows us two values in waiting: In waiting we hear God's voice, and in waiting God prepares us for what we're waiting for. In this message, Pastor Joel explains how we can learn from John how to celebrate advent this Christmas season, and how we can learn to wait well for Jesus to return one day, too.

Please join us and Pastor Joel as we dive into the word.

In this next episode from our series Generosity Journey, Pastor Joel gives us 5 steps toward living and enjoying God's provision, from the book of Proverbs.

The core of Pastor Joel's message centered on hope, symbolized by the lighting of the hope candle. He shared the story of Abram from Genesis 15, focusing on the profound covenant God made with him. Pastor Joel explained the cultural significance of this ancient ritual, where God alone walked between the animal carcasses, placing the covenant's fulfillment entirely on His shoulders. This act, he noted, serves as a powerful reminder of God's steadfast promises and should inspire a deep trust in His faithfulness.

We are all on a generosity journey. The question is, in which direction are we headed? Towards the "Bigger, Better, New" cycle of greed, or towards dependence on the Father?

Enjoy a bonus clip, "Forgiveness", mentioned by Pastor Joel in a recent prayer service. Terry Law shows us that forgiving may be the most important step in receiving grace from God. This message was originally delivered on First Wednesday, February 1, 2017.

In "Who's Your Master", the first episode of our new Generosity Journey series, Pastor Joel reveals that God is trying to train us to trust Him with our finances and with His provision for our lives. Jesus taught on money more than heaven, hell, prayer, and faith. Why? Because money touches everyone and exposes the priorities and affections of our hearts.
