Ministry Leaders Podcast Community Bible Church of Northern Westchester

Have you ever gotten frustrated as a leader that people aren’t following very well? Moses did. But when the people he was leading rebelled, Moses did something amazingly humble and Christ-like. In this episode, we explore our temptations to give up on people in frustration, and God’s challenge to us through Moses to pray that God will give them better than they deserve.

In this episode, we seek to get our focus clear on the importance of people in God’s mission.
