    Dr. Richard Blackaby on Experiencing God & Spiritual Maturity

    What if spiritual maturity is not measured by how long you’ve been in church, how often you attend, or how much you know, but by whether you are becoming more like Jesus? In this episode of Linch with a Leader, Mike Linch sits down with Dr. Richard Blackaby, president of Blackaby Ministries International and co-author of Experiencing God in Everyday Life. Richard unpacks what it means to experience God not only in mountaintop moments, but in the ordinary, mundane, and difficult seasons of life. Together, Mike and Richard discuss spiritual maturity, hearing God’s voice, daily rhythms with the Lord, divine appointments, leadership, family, legacy, and what faithfulness looks like in every season. Richard Blackaby’s new study Experiencing God in Everyday Life helps believers follow Jesus through ordinary days with small steps of faithfulness, not just mountaintop experiences. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to the Linch with a Leader Podcast, where you’re invited to join the spiritual principles behind big success, with host Mike Linch.

    Prepared Leaders Aren't Reactive: What Nehemiah Teaches Us About Readiness with Mike Linch
