What is a Vision Statement and why does it matter? Is there a point in having a "Vision Sunday" at the beginning of the year, or is the congregation better served by "dripping vision" throughout the 52 Sundays of the calendar year? Is having a church vision even Biblical? Mike asks these questions and more to the more-than-capable Luke Simmons in a fun and informative conversation about the difference between church vision and church mission, and so many other topics having to do with leading healthy churches.  Luke Simmons is the founding and Lead Pastor of Ironwood Church, a growing church in the Phoenix metro area. He's been in full-time pastoral ministry since 2004 and has the scars to prove it. As a catalytic leader, he's been curating resources and coaching leaders for over a decade. Because Luke loves to learn and enjoys sharing what he's learned with other pastors, he founded Faithful and Fruitful to help pastors experience a lifetime of joyful, God-honoring ministry. Through resources, tools, and coaching experiences, he helps pastors build their confidence to lead for the long-haul in a changed and changing world. Faithful and Fruitful is a biblical vision of ministry and a lot of fun. As an experienced church planter, Luke also leads the Redeemer City to City Church Planting Incubator for the Surge Network in Phoenix, where he helps planters begin their churches with theological vision, effective systems, and sustainable personal habits. Luke has a communications degree from the University of Illinois, where he played third base for the Fighting Illini, as well as an M.A. in Missional Theology from Covenant Theological Seminary.

Today my guest on the I Want To Know podcast is Luke Simmons. Luke helps faithful pastors be fruitful and fruitful pastors stay faithful by creating resources and coaching experiences through his appropriately named, Faithful and Fruitful newsletter, on Twitter @lukedsimmons, on the Preaching Through podcast, and as a leadership coach. Luke is also a practitioner leading the Redemption Church Gateway in Phoenix, a church he founded in 2009. His favorite job is being a dad to four kids—he has one in high school, middle school, elementary school, and kindergarten, which I'm guessing means he's pretty tired.Here are some of the most valuable moments in our conversation:00:00 - Introduction09:28 - 5 Questions That Reveal What You Should Focus On22:44 - 4 Ways To Share Social Proof (Without Feeling Arrogant)32:59 - How Much Should You Charge?

How can you preach the good news of Easter? Bishop Timothy Clarke, Senior Pastor at First Church of God in Ohio says you don't have to make the Easter message relevant for people. It's already relevant, because it's in the Word of God.   He drew attention to Isaiah 40:8 (ESV) “The grass withers, the flower fades and the word of the Lord stands forever.” In this episode, they discuss everything from Chicago steakhouses, to preaching failures, to how the resurrection narrative stands the test of time. Bishop Clarke offers three specific words of advice for preachers: Focus on your relationship with God. Make your family a priority. Find your voice, vocation and vision. Check out what was referenced on the podcast: H. Beecher Hicks, Jr.'s book Preaching Through a Storm: Confirming the Power of Preaching in the Tempest of Church Conflict  You can also watch Bishop Clarke's sermons on YouTube.

This message talks about ten features of wickedness based upon Psalm 10, which gives us a "perfect representation of iniquity" (Luther). Dr. Sadaphal explains that the most dangerous form of evil is apostasy, or the enemy within that is actually close to Him but then rejects Him. This is the individual who is knowledgeable about God but then renounces Him (because of hatred) and now lives a life doing the exact opposite of what God says. Our Scripture focus will be Psalm 10:1-11. (From the series Preaching Through the Psalms, a verse-by-verse exposition of the Psalms.)

Psalm 10 is a cry of the oppressed in a time of trouble. In a time of adversity, because the psalmist does not understand why things are happening this way, he begins crying to God by saying, "Why, God? Why?" In this sermon, Rev. Sadaphal will provide multiple reasons why God allows His children to suffer, but ultimately concludes that why we suffer is not as relevant as the suffering Christ endured for us on the Cross. He is the One who subsequently strengthens our hearts to endure in times of trouble. Would you rather have an explanation or an eternal God who lifts you up in the suffering? Our Scripture focus will be Psalm 10:1. (From the series Preaching Through the Psalms, a verse-by-verse exposition of the Psalms.)

Psalm 9 is a hymn of hope that teaches us how to hope in God's justice. In this sermon, Dr. Sadaphal provides seven key insights on how the church can pray for the Lord's perfect justice. God's justice will finally be fulfilled in the end, but that does not preclude His saints from praying for acute intervention in the midst of present injustice. Our Scripture focus will be Psalm 9:13-20. (From the series Preaching Through the Psalms, a verse-by-verse exposition of the Psalms.)

Those who know God trust Him, and those who know God know that He is a God of justice. The elect can therefore trust and hope in God's justice because it is right, it is true, and it will never be denied. This is comforting cognizant that we live in a world filled with injustice, enmity and evil. In this broad-reaching sermon, Dr. Sadaphal shows the elect seven ways how they can hope in God's justice; this includes a discussion of modern ideas of what is "just" including the social justice movement. It also includes a real-life analysis of the problem of evil, the rest found in God, and how to think about martyrdom in the context of God's grand design. Our Scripture focus will be Psalm 9:3-12. (From the series Preaching Through the Psalms, a verse-by-verse exposition of the Psalms.)

Life is not a highlight reel; rather, life has ups and downs. So how do we hope in the midst of vexations, injustice, and the supposed triumphs of evil? Psalm Nine provides answers in that it teaches us how to hope in God's justice. King David begins this Psalm praising God, so in this sermon, Reverend Sadaphal explains what seven marks of powerful praise are. Our Scripture focus will be Psalm 9:1-2. (From the series Preaching Through the Psalms, a verse-by-verse exposition of the Psalms.)

Who is God? This is a question that triggers a consideration of, and a meditation on, the Almighty. Answering this question is important because knowing who God is explains what He requires of us. Identity is theological, so answering this question is also important because a thorough understanding of who God is will also tell us who we are. In this sermon, Rev. Sadaphal explores many answers to the "God question." Our Scripture focus will be Psalm 8:1-9. (From the series Preaching Through the Psalms.)

Who are you? This is a question that triggers a search for identity, that non-disposable sense of self that stays with you for life. Answering this question is important because how you respond animates how you with interact with reality. Dr. Sadaphal explores several alternative answers before arriving at the biblical answer to the "man question." Our Scripture focus will be Psalm 8:1-4. (From the series Preaching Through the Psalms.)

In addition to being a Bible teacher, Dr. Sadaphal is also a preacher. His sermons are found on another podcast called Preaching Christ. This episode is from a sermon called "The 7 Steps of Prayer Preparation" from April 2018. How does the godly person navigate life in the midst of an ungodly age? Where do we turn when the wickedness of the world frustrates us or makes us fearful? Psalm 5 has many answers. Rev. Sadaphal exposits the steps King David makes before he prays—that is, his steps of prayer preparation. All of these steps apply to prayer in general and will equip and assist you in your prayer life. Our theme verses will be Psalm 5:1-3. (From the series Preaching Through the Psalms).

Slander is a weaponized lie. It refers to language people use that is designed to hurt someone and their reputation. The lions of ungodliness get into a rage when they pick up the scent of godliness, and the intent of the beasts is to destroy. Thus, slander is an expected part of the Christian experience and it can harm not only you, but your reputation, church and organization. So how do you defend against it biblically? This sermon will provide seven practical steps. Our Scripture verses will be from Psalm 7:1-17. (From the series Preaching Through the Psalms.)
