    Larry Kreider and Merle Shenk on Cultivating Catalytic Relationships

    In this week's episode, Larry Kreider and Merle Shenk highlight the powerful impact of catalytic relationships, demonstrating how God uses these relationships to achieve more than you ever thought possible. With practical life stories and biblical examples, Larry and Merle encourage you to identify, value, and invest in those called to walk together with you in your life and ministry. Quotable Quotes: "You can do more together than you can do by yourself." “Don’t do it alone. Find others who have the same heart and same call that you have and together you can do so much more." Highlights: Luke 10  Matthew 18:20 When you find a catalytic relationship, pay special attention, and make room for it, as this can cause an environment where God can move supernaturally in special ways. Don’t overlook the key people God will add to your life to help you along the way. Take time to cultivate these relationships. We often think that people should and will think like us, but usually the people that God connects us with are those who have gifts and callings that are different to our own.  Catalytic relationships can provide invaluable support during challenging times, as they involve knowing and understanding one another on a personal level. By praying together, opening up and sharing your vulnerabilities, these relationships can help you navigate and overcome difficult situations.

    Deryl Hurst and Wes Dudley on Developing and Equipping Young Leaders

    Deryl Hurst and Wes Dudley, pastors at DOVE Westgate Church, join Larry Kreider to share valuable insights into identifying, nurturing, and equipping young leaders. Drawing from their personal experiences, Deryl and Wes provide practical and biblical wisdom on developing leaders to walk in the full potential of their God-given callings. Quotable Quotes: “Many people go into ministry with the combination of a calling and a gift. [However], it doesn’t take long until they become enamored by their gift and forget their calling.” “God often qualifies the called more than he calls the qualified.” Highlights: Look for quality young people to affirm and call out their positive character traits and giftings. As a leader, it’s important to identify potential new leaders, cast vision to them, equip them, and resource and develop them. Be careful of becoming enamored by a person’s charisma and perceived anointing. First, look for character, spiritual depth, and a heart to serve. 2 Kings 2 A healthy environment for raising leaders should be tailored more like a garden for them to learn and grow rather than like a factory that manufactures leaders. Create opportunities for young people to get involved and serve who have grown up in your church and are familiar with your church’s particular DNA and culture.

    Larry Kreider and Merle Shenk on Practical Discipleship

    What does it truly mean to make disciples? Join Larry Kreider and Merle Shenk as they discuss the significance of discipleship, share practical tools they have learned, and how having a heart to release and empower those you are walking with is a key for healthy disciple-making. Highlights: 2 Timothy 2:2 Matthew 28:19-20  One type of spiritual parenting is based on control, and one is based on releasing. Desire to pour into the next generation so that they can go further in God than you have gone. In order to be a healthy spiritual parent or mentor, ask people to speak into your own life and receive input yourself. A key test to know if you are controlling or releasing comes when the person you are walking with feels called to do something that is different than you had in mind for them. And that is the test: can you release them to follow God in that moment? In those situations, we have to be able to release, because it is about God’s Kingdom being built and not our own. Who are the people, in this season of your life, that you are called to pour into?  Related Resources: The Cry for Spiritual Fathers and Mothers by Larry Kreider DOVE International For more information about Larry Kreider, his books, daily devotionals, small-group resources, or other teachings, visit larrykreider.com.

    Steve Prokopchak on Sexual Wholeness: Overcoming Pornography (Part II)

    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.

    Larry Kreider on Hearing God 30 Different Ways

    Join Larry Kreider as he shares insightful wisdom from his book Hearing God 30 Different Ways. Larry emphasizes the importance of gratitude, pausing to pray and listen, and being open to God speaking in a way that often differs from what we anticipate. He offers valuable advice on the importance of measuring what we hear against God's Word and evaluating it by the peace we sense within our hearts and lives. Quotable Quotes: “He [Jesus] might speak in a way that is different than we are expecting.” “The problem isn’t God speaking; the problem is the hearing.” “One word from God will change your life forever.” Highlights: Luke 24 How you hear the voice of God is often influenced by how you were taught and trained. Living a life of thanksgiving helps us hear God’s voice. John 6:63 Colossians 3:15 1 Kings 19:12 Create time and space to listen and pray. Proverbs 16:21 Acts 2:17-18 1 Corinthians 13:9 An effective way to discern when God is speaking to us is to consider whether the message aligns with His Word, whether there is peace in our hearts, and whether there is peace in external circumstances.

    Danail Tanev on The Power of Psalm 23

    Danail Tanev joins Larry Kreider to discuss his new book, Psalm 23: The Bible LIVE. Through personal experience and godly wisdom, Danail shares how the promises of Psalm 23 can deepen your relationship with God, bringing greater peace, trust, and refreshment as you experience the transformative power of this psalm in your life. Quotable Quotes: “We are designed with the need to follow something or somebody.” “One of the most important things in life that we need to learn in order to succeed is to be self-aware.” “Every time we hear God saying 'no,' it’s because of love.” “Peace is living with God.” “[Peace] isn’t contingent on what happens to you but who is with you.” Highlights: Psalm 23 Our life and future are determined by who and what we decide to follow. Because God’s ways are higher than ours, obedience to God doesn’t require understanding or agreement. The peace of God is so different from that of the world because God’s peace is not dependent on circumstances.
