What does it really look like to live out your faith beyond the walls of a church?In this episode of the Be Bold For Jesus Podcast, we sit down with Chaplain TK from Shine 104.9 to talk about what it actually looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life. TK shares how he went from working in media to stepping into ministry and serving people right where they're at. Instead of a traditional path, his focus has been on showing up, building relationships, and loving people in practical ways. We also talk about the heart behind Home of Shalom and why authenticity matters so much. It's about moving past just “going to church” and actually living out your faith daily.✝️ Be Bold For Jesus Conference 2026 ✝️https://bebold4jesus.org/spokane/✌️ Stay Connected with Be Bold For Jesus ✌️https://bebold4jesus.orgInstagram: @bebold4jesusministries

Real ministry is not built on polished content... it is built when we are willing to share our very selves. In this roadside reflection episode, Kara finally shares what Fred and her recent writing project has been (with Ascension Press) and reflects on a personal passage from St. Paul in 1 Thessalonians 2:8–9: “So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves…” This conversation dives into vulnerability, discipleship, authentic ministry, loving others even when it is difficult, and what it means to hope for others. Also, the audio quality is a little different this episode. Life and family obligations have made studio recording difficult lately, so I pray this “roadside reflections” is okay!

How do you lead well in church ministry when you care deeply about people but aren't the final decision maker? In this episode of the Care Ministry Podcast, Laura Howe sits down for one of her monthly coaching conversations with Lacey Reaves, a ministry leader serving in small groups at Redemption Church in South Carolina. Together they explore a leadership challenge many ministry leaders face: how to faithfully care for people while navigating leadership structures, shifting ministry needs, and the realities of leading from what Laura calls the messy middle of ministry. Lacey shares openly about her experience of burnout and what she learned about carrying ministry differently. Laura reflects on how sustainable care ministry requires leaders to care deeply for people while also recognizing the burdens they were never meant to carry alone. If you've ever felt the tension of trying to lead, care for people, and navigate church leadership dynamics at the same time, this coaching conversation offers encouragement and practical perspective for sustaining ministry over the long term. Quotes “I knew that I still cared about people, but I felt that I had lost the capacity to care effectively because I myself needed care.” –Lacey Reaves “I found that I am still called, but I may need to learn how to carry the calling differently.” –Lacey Reaves “Ministry rarely happens in clean and simple ways. Most of the time we're leading in complicated spaces with changing needs, limited resources, and leadership structures.” –Laura Howe “There's a wisdom that develops when we stay deeply compassionate toward people while recognizing that we are not their savior.” –Laura Howe Resources Joyfully Free Journey Podcast (Lacey Reaves) Care Ministry Collective (Free Online Community) Care Ministry Cohort HMS Amazon store

I had the pleasure of chatting with Matt Palmer, cofounder of Jesus Won Apparel and chaplain with the San Francisco Giants. We explore the inspiring journey behind Jesus Won—from its humble beginnings as a bold faith message to becoming a powerful ministry tool that's sparked countless conversations about Jesus and raising half a million for Kingdom causes across the USA. Matt shares the raw origin story, the mission to proclaim eternal victory in Christ, the beautiful moments and "wins" that have come from it (including viral partnerships with athletes like Evan Carter during the Texas Rangers' World Series run), and what's stirring for the future. It's a reminder that simple acts of faith—like wearing a tee—can open doors to hope, encouragement, and transformation.

In today's episode, Eric sits down with Greg Stier, founder of Dare 2 Share, to talk about why students are uniquely positioned to reach their peers and how youth pastors can build ministries that truly advance the gospel.

Real ministry is not big numbers, exciting music, and flashy events. It is servant leadership. It is caring for people as individuals.This Bible study in 1 Thessalonians 2 looks at Paul's example in how he cared for the Thessalonian church. Whether you are a parent, pastor, Bible teacher, or a help at church, Paul's model has much for us to learn.1 Thessalonians 2:1-9 Bible study -https://studyandobey.com/inductive-bible-study/thessalonians-studies/1thessalonians2-1-9/Thessalonians Bible Studies With Discussion Questions - https://studyandobey.com/inductive-bible-study/thessalonians-studies/Thessalonians Bible study guide on Amazon -https://amzn.to/42Yn8ptThessalonians E-book Bible Study -https://studyandobey.com/product/study-guide-thessalonians/Study and Obey's Bible study guides on Amazon -https://amzn.to/48SgPEN(As an Amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)Study and Obey Free Weekly Podcast on Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/study-and-obey/id1571266150Our website of 800+ practical and free Bible studies - https://studyandobey.comSupport this ministry -https://studyandobey.com/support/25+ Bible study guides for individual or group study on many different books of the Bible - https://studyandobey.com/shop/Support the show

With years of ministry experience, they have an honest, practical conversation about why so many churches struggle—and what it takes to turn things around. Josh shares a startling stat from Discipleship.org—less than 5% of American churches have a functioning disciple-making culture. The problem isn't a lack of knowledge but a lack of implementation. They explore how church culture, more than strategy or programs, is the key factor holding disciple-making back. Josh and Jason unpack Discipleship.org's vision: increasing that 5% to 16%. Drawing from Malcolm Gladwell's “tipping point” concept, they explain that once 16% of churches embrace disciple-making, it can trigger a larger movement across the country. The issue isn't that people don't know how to make disciples—it's that they don't want to. Josh and Jason stress that real change happens when disciple-making becomes embedded in a church's DNA, not just another ministry program. Jason shares how his Iowa church is reshaping its culture—turning every ministry into a disciple-making opportunity. Whether serving coffee or leading worship, everything is intentionally tied to discipleship. Josh reminds leaders that culture starts at the top. Leaders must model disciple-making, celebrate progress (not just success), and reinforce the mission constantly. The hosts emphasize the importance of celebrating even small disciple-making efforts. They introduce the idea of “sucking forward”—embracing failures as part of the journey and encouraging leaders to keep pushing forward. Josh and Jason challenge leaders to be among the first to embrace disciple-making, even before it's mainstream. These pioneers will be key to hitting the 16% tipping point and sparking a larger movement. Josh closes with a powerful analogy: Leaders shouldn't just measure church culture; they should set it. Shaping a disciple-making culture requires intentional action, not passive observation. The episode wraps up with an invitation to engage with Discipleship.org for resources and support. Josh and Jason also invite listeners to their upcoming forum in Houston, where they'll continue the conversation and equip leaders for disciple-making.

Kidmin Talk #185- What REAL Ministry Success Looks LikeIn a very vulnerable live keynote presentation a few years ago, Pastor Karl talks about what real ministry success looks like. He explains why he will never coach leaders on "brand development" or share secrets to growing a business, in part because while God has granted him business success over the years and a well-known brand, he never pursued either. Real success has nothing to do with either.He posits the question, "What will be the measure of your life?"

In this sermon from Romans 15:22-33, Pastor Mark talks about plans, provision, partnership, and prayer when it comes to ministry.

In Romans 15:14-21, Pastor Mark gives qualities and characteristics of a Spirit-filled church with lots of encouragement for all God has done over the past year and few years.
