    Esther

    Esther’s story is one of quiet courage that turned into bold faith. A young Jewish woman, orphaned and raised by her cousin Mordecai, Esther is chosen to be queen in a foreign land. At first, her position seems like chance—but God was already writing a bigger story. When her people faced annihilation, Esther wrestled with fear and uncertainty. Yet, she stepped forward with the words, “If I perish, I perish.” Her faith was not loud or flashy—it was tested in silence, in fasting, and in the risk of walking into the king’s presence uninvited. Esther reminds us that heroism in faith often looks like obedience in the face of fear, and that God can use ordinary people in extraordinary ways. She shows us that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is to speak up, trust God with the outcome, and believe that you were placed “for such a time as this.”  #Leadership #GlobalMethodistChurch #Wesleyan #Unofficial  Gabe May & Clay Lassiter

  4. Deborah

    Deborah

    Picture Israel in one of its darkest hours. The people are oppressed, fear is thick in the air, and hope feels far away. And then, under the shade of a palm tree, a woman named Deborah rises. She isn’t just a prophet hearing the word of the Lord—she’s a judge, a leader, a mother to her people. Day after day, men and women gather beneath that tree, waiting for her wisdom, trusting her discernment. When the time comes for battle, she doesn’t sit back. She calls Barak to lead, but when he hesitates, she steps in with courage, standing shoulder to shoulder on the front lines. Deborah’s life tells us that leadership isn’t about power or position—it’s about trust in God, the boldness to act, and the willingness to lead when no one else will.  #Leadership Gabe May & Clay Lassiter

  5. Heroes Of Faith : David

    Heroes Of Faith : David

    🎙️ Podcast Update – Heroes of Faith: David In this week’s Heroes of Faith episode, we turn our attention to David — the shepherd boy who became king, the poet who gave us the Psalms, and the man Scripture calls “a man after God’s own heart.” We’ll explore the courage that led him to face Goliath when no one else would, the deep humility found in his psalms of repentance, and the faith that sustained him through battles, failures, and victories. David’s story reminds us that God delights not in perfect strength, but in surrendered hearts. This episode will challenge us to look at our own lives and ask: What giants do I need to face? Where do I need to repent and return to God? And how can I cultivate a heart that truly longs for Him? Tune in as we uncover how David’s life points us to the greater King — Jesus, the Son of David — who fulfills every promise of God. Gabe May & Clay Lassiter

    Headland Methodist Sermon Follow Up: Jacob

    In this episode, we dive into the complicated, raw, and redemptive story of Jacob—the man who wrestled with God and walked away with a limp and a new name. From grabbing his brother’s heel to becoming the father of a nation, Jacob’s life reminds us that faith isn’t always clean or easy—it’s often forged in the mess, the wrestling, and the waiting.

  7. Heroes of Faith: Moses

    Heroes of Faith: Moses

    In this episode of City Lights Leadership, we step into the wilderness with Moses to explore one of the most mysterious and powerful moments in all of Scripture: the burning bush. Why did God choose a bush—and why did it burn without burning out? We’ll unpack how God used a simple, unexpected moment to call Moses into a world-changing mission. Along the way, we’ll discover how God still speaks through the ordinary, how He invites us into holy ground moments, and how our calling often starts when we finally slow down enough to notice the fire. Whether you're feeling stuck, unseen, or unsure of your next step, this episode will remind you: God is still in the business of lighting fires that don’t burn out—and calling people who feel unqualified.
