Pastor Judah Smith from The City Church came in a few weeks ago to share with our team. During our staff session, Pastor Judah encouraged that families can do more than just “survive” in the ministry and can turn a life of ministry into an adventure.

The Humility to Surrender

While our generation may have audacious faith, God is also calling us to embrace the humility to surrender. Join Pastor Steven for the conclusion of this week’s audio blog series. He discusses the painful but necessary process when God chooses to cut away something from a leader’s life and heart. Joining him for the discussion are staff members John Bishop, Wade Joye and Chunks Corbett.

The Internal Work of God in a Leader

ceagon — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 11:00:40 +0000

The process that a leader goes through as they work on personal issues and insecurities can exact a high personal cost, but has the potential to bring an even greater reward. These private battles can carry those under the leader’s spiritual covering into a new dimension of victory for themselves. Join us for the first of two audio blogs, as Pastor Steven leads an open and honest discussion on the internal work of God in the life of a leader.

Embrace the difficulties of ministry

Having a healthy marriage in the midst of ministry can be difficult, but all walks of life face difficulties of some sort. Join us for the final segment of the Marriage and Ministry audio blog series. Pastor Steven and Holly Furtick call us to move beyond focusing on our difficulties, and instead embrace them and the way God wants to use these in our lives. Special guests include John and Heather Bishop, in addition to Larry and Kelly Hubatka.

Thanks for joining us for part two of our audio blog series on Marriage and Ministry. In this segment, Pastor Steven and Holly Furtick discuss how to highlight and leverage the blessings of ministry instead of complaining about its disadvantages.

Marriage and Ministry

ceagon — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 09:00:28 +0000

While being in ministry is truly the highest honor, there are challenges to the lifestyle that God has called those of us in ministry to lead. Perhaps the greatest of these challenges is how to have a thriving marriage in the midst of the demands of a fast-paced and growing church. Join us over the next 3 days for a series of audio blogs as Pastor Steven and Holly Furtick lead a candid roundtable discussion on marriage and ministry.
