Sometimes, good ministry vs. bad ministry isn’t decided by the contents of a message, but it’s decided by someone's preparation. This is my sermon preparation process. Much of the process is preparing myself... as you will hear in this episode. For thirty years, I have witnessed ministry, studied the Bible about ministry, ministered some myself, and learned some ways that ministry should and shouldn't look. I haven't arrived at a final destination, but the things I share in this are part of my p...

“What if I miss what God wants me to do because I haven’t tried options x, y, or z?” This is something I question often.There is an overwhelming number of options in life, and as Christians, it is essential to have the right focus to make correct decisions. Clarity of focus brings clarity of purpose. The Bible and Prayer are ways to fellowship with God, who orders our steps in the way we should go. These are some of the things I discuss in this short episode. Enjoy, and share this with a friend....

By the end of this, I pray you’ll have a new clarity on life and some actionable thing...

This is a special episode for me. I have since day one wanted to get my dad on here to do an episode and the time has finally come. This week after Father's day seemed like the best time. The topics I could have covered in this one were endless, but I couldn't think of a better one than that of prayer. My dad has taught me to pray by praying consistently for my whole life. I can truly say prayer is probably the most consistent and important thing in his life. If you're looking for a "hack" or sh...

My guest this week is none other than my sister! Give her a follow @AutumnDHart. Enjoy this fun, goofy, but wise convo - because she has wisdom. We talk about coffee to start, books to get rolling, then she gives a bit of a personal testimony of how the Lord has been working in her life as she trusts the process and has waited for God's timing. Enjoy! And if you're in the giving mood, please leave a 5-star review so others will see and believe the podcast is actually good.
