Pastor Steven Furtick

I’m very grateful for the opportunities God has been giving me in recent months to speak to church leaders at different conferences across the country.
As I’ve been preparing for these different events, I’ve noticed a shift in my motivation.

I’m worrying less about impressing people with my messages, and obsessing more about making an impact.
This may seem basic, but it changes everything. My approach to preparing and preaching is all about encouraging and ministering at a deep level rather than waxing eloquent on the surface.
It doesn’t matter as much how funny, smooth, polished, or memorable I am.
What matters is that people experience a moment with God that shakes them to the core, and redefines their reality.

I want to be a channel for the supernatural touch of God every time I preach. I want to ignite hope and revive dead dreams.
It’s a liberating way to minister the Gospel. And it takes all of the pressure off…
The only thing left to do is let the power of God flow.
