Guest Blogger: Wade Joye, Worship Pastor
Here is your next installment in a week long series on some of the things we learned at our recent Thr3e event. Thr3e was an incredible day as Pastor Steven unloaded so many leadership principles that my hand hurt trying to write everything down.
The one that stands out the most, though, was the closing session when Pastor Steven got pretty vulnerable in a message called The Cost of the Calling. In this message, Pastor talked about the sacrifices he has had to make through each new leadership and ministry transition of the church. Sometimes the cost is emotional, other times it takes a physical toll, but there always is a price to pay as we walk in what God has called us to do. This was real life, honest stuff that you don’t tend to get at a conference, but it was filled with encouragement and hope as I personally was challenged that in order to embrace the calling and gifting God has on my life, I can’t avoid the sacrifice and pain. I must embrace it, because it is through these times that God brings an even greater anointing and effectiveness in the ministry He has for me.
If you are the lead pastor of a church, I would do whatever it takes to get to our Impart event to get the same kind of honesty from Pastor Steven on what it looks like to lead a dynamic move of God. Click here for all the details on Impart, and don’t miss the early bird registration deadline this Friday.
And if you sign up before Friday, you have a chance to win a fully loaded Kindle. Get those details here.
I look forward to seeing you in October at Impart.
