    Larry Kreider is joined once again by Steve Prokopchak as they wrap up their two-part series on finding sexual wholeness. Steve shares foundational biblical principles for overcoming pornography addiction and experiencing true freedom. The Path to Freedom: God is love. We all struggle to maintain a clean heart. Recognize that pornography affects the whole individual. Disclose and confess your sin to God, yourself, and others. Embrace conviction of the heart coming from the Holy Spirit. Be aware of the neurological aspect of this addiction and the brain chemicals involved. Locate any deep wounds from your past to discover how those wounds have affected you. Discover relational healing by purposefully mending broken relationships. Utilize appropriate resources. Go through deliverance ministry. Quotable Quotes: “A true gift from God is often mocked by the enemy.” “The only true failure is when we don’t get back up.” Highlights: 2 Timothy 2:26 Matthew 5:27-28 Romans 1:24-25 1 Corinthians 6:12-18 Psalm 51 Galatians 5:17 Proverbs 24:16 Mentioned in Today’s Episode: “Sexual Wholeness: Addressing Pornography (Part 1)” by Steve Prokopchak “Sexual Wholeness: Overcoming Pornography (Part 2)” by Steve Prokopchak Conquer Series Pure Desire Ministries Faithful and True Be Broken Ministries Related Resources: Identity: The Distinctiveness of You by Steve Prokopchak Called Together: Pre- and Post-Marital Workbook by Steve Prokopchak, Mary Prokopchak Staying Together by Steve Prokopchak, Mary Prokopchak Steve's Blog For more information about Larry Kreider, his books, daily devotionals, small-group resources, or other teachings, visit larrykreider.com.

    Steve Prokopchak on Sexual Wholeness: Addressing Pornography (Part I)

    Steve Prokopchak joins Larry Kreider as they embark on a two-part series on sexual wholeness. Steve shares the shocking statistics concerning pornography in today’s culture. Join Steve and Larry as they address the issues and challenges of pornography and how it is affecting people of all ages in society and the church. The Conditioning Process: First step – introduction or exposure Second step – habit/compulsion leading to addiction Third step – intensification Fourth step – desensitization Fifth step – acting upon one’s own fantasy/imaginations Quotable Quotes: “Pornography will never take you where God wants you to go.” “God has had a wonderful plan for sex, [but] the enemy always produces a counterfeit.” Highlights: Statistics show that the issue of pornography is sweeping through the nation and the church. Porn consumption can lead to dissatisfaction and a lack of interest in one’s spouse. Viewing pornography not only supports the porn industry but also contributes to the exploitation of victims of human trafficking. Finding freedom begins by being honest with yourself, your pastor, spouse, counselor, and/or seeking group support.

    Megan Barnett on Empowering Women’s Voices

    In this week’s episode, Larry Kreider welcomes Megan Barnett to the Larry Kreider Leadership Podcast. Megan brings a wealth of leadership experience along with a heart to see women’s giftings and passions nurtured and their voices heard. Megan shares stories from her own leadership experiences and how God has provided guidance throughout her journey. Join Larry and Megan as they discuss the pitfalls of comparison and the importance of not letting negativity be the only voice we hear. Megan Barnett has a master’s degree in theology and ministry and serves as the spiritual formation manager at Hope International, where she oversees staff discipleship. In addition to her professional role, she is actively involved at Newport Church, where she leads and supports various initiatives and ministries. Megan's passion for teaching and preaching is evident as she shares her insights not only at her home church but also at other congregations. Her dedication to serving extends beyond her work and church community, as she plays a crucial role in the leadership team of B.L.A.Z.E. Women’s Ministry. Megan and her husband, David, live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Quotable Quotes: “The church that silences the women is shorn of half its power.”—Charles Finney “It’s important to listen to the cheerleaders just as much—if not more than—you listen to your critics.” “Just because it’s hard doesn’t mean that it’s not good.” Highlights: Women frequently lead with a motherly heart, allowing for additional care and responding with patience. It is essential for leaders to spend quality time with the Lord so that they can be filled before they can pour into others. In dealing with negative feedback, it’s important to bring it before the Lord and genuinely evaluate it. However, do not let that negative voice be the only voice you hear. Women, your voice is needed, your story matters, and your gifts and passions are valuable.  Mentioned in Today’s Episode: HOPE International Newport Church B.L.A.Z.E.

    Steve Backlund on The Culture of Empowerment

    Join Larry Kreider and Merle Shenk as they sit down with Steve Backlund to explore the key principles of empowerment in leadership, based on his book The Culture of Empowerment: How to Champion People. Steve will share insightful stories from his own leadership journey, encouraging listeners to recognize the untapped potential within their teams and to proactively empower them to make a meaningful impact. Don't miss this inspiring and challenging episode that will transform the way you lead and empower others! Steve Backlund is the co-founder of Igniting Hope and is senior associate director for Bethel Leaders Network. He is an author of numerous books and a leadership developer who travels extensively throughout the world, encouraging churches, leaders, and organizations to develop cultures of empowerment. Steve and his wife, Wendy, were senior pastors for seventeen years and now reside in Redding, California. Quotable Quotes: “Every organization has some kind of culture. A wise leader shapes culture intentionally and chooses a model where empowerment is the norm.” “My goal is not to build a big church but to build big people.”—Bill Johnson “Empowerment creates a culture of feedback.” “If we look to those we lead to meet our needs, we ask them to empower us instead of the other way around.” Highlights: Empowerment is giving away power to your team so they can have an impact, authority, and autonomy, allowing them to make decisions and contribute to the overall goal. As a leader, be influenceable, allowing your team to be empowered to influence you. Seek first to understand before you seek to be understood. The nature of most relationships when we first meet is excitement, then disappointment, then either disconnection or connection. Luke 6:45 One of the greatest things a leader can do is believe in their people.

    Larry & LaVerne Kreider on Passing The 21 Tests of Leadership: The Kingdom Test

    Larry and LaVerne Kreider conclude their twenty-one-part series, "Passing the 21 Tests of Leadership," by emphasizing the importance of living by the principles of the Kingdom of God as the foundation for thriving and growing in both life and leadership. By prioritizing a Kingdom-minded approach and placing less emphasis on our own self-interests, we can experience the righteousness, peace, and joy that Jesus brings. Quotable Quotes: “An effective leader focuses on the eternal Kingdom.” “Are we building our kingdom or are we building God’s Kingdom?” “We don’t care who gets the credit as long as God is glorified.” Highlights: Luke 4:43 The Kingdom is greater than us and what we are doing. Matthew 6:33 Luke 17:20-21 John 17:21-23 Romans 14:17-18 Hebrews 12:2 Ecclesiastes 11:3 Be mindful of too much introspection. Sometimes situations in life occur without clear explanation. Trust the Lord and discern between the clear tests of life and the unexplained events that just happen.
