    S1E005 - Tyranny of the Urgent | What to Do When There’s More to Do Than You Can Do

    We all feel this, whether you're in the church or not—the tyranny of the urgent often overtakes the plan that you had for the day. Or even worse, if you didn't have a plan to begin with. Bobby and Andrew discuss what steps you can take to take back control of your schedule, and make sure the main thing stays at the top!

    S1E004 - 10 Limiting Beliefs Hindering Your Leadership and Growth

    S1E004 - 10 Limiting Beliefs Hindering Your Leadership and Growth

    Limiting beliefs can keep us from stepping out and doing big things. Let's be honest... its HARD to start something, or shift the direction on something without knowing what the outcome will be! What you believe about success and growth on the front end is a pretty good determiner of what you're going to see happen. In this episode, Pastor Bobby gives us 10 limiting beliefs that are common for church planters/leaders and then some practical steps to overcome those limiting beliefs.

    S1E003 - Preparing the Jars For God to Work | 2 Kings 4

    S1E003 - Preparing the Jars For God to Work | 2 Kings 4

    We can't control what God does... but we can prepare the jars for God to work in and through us and our church. In this episode, Pastor Andrew and Pastor Bobby dive into 2 Kings, where Elisha tells the woman to prepare the jars for oil–and the miracle of the multiplication of the oil is directly related to the number of jars that the woman prepared! We can't multiply the oil, but we can prepare the jars. Are we preparing the metaphorical jars for what we want to see God do in our church?
