    Interview with Beth and Eddie Taylor, Part 2 - Season 4, Episode 4

    This episode of Next Step Leadership Podcast continues the conversation Tracy Reynolds and Chris Maxwell have with Eddie and Beth Taylor. The Taylors are spending time pouring into the leadership of churches during these difficult seasons. Instead of being defeated by church conflict and division or an anti-church culture, they believe we can walk in joy globally. Through the books and resources they’ve written, the Taylors help people study God’s word. Rather than settling with church entertainment, it is time for followers of Christ to be disciples who study, learn, pray, grow, and develop. Let this episode inspire you to go deeper in your own spiritual growth. Ask yourself important questions. Who are you helping train and develop? What are you providing so young followers of Christ can learn? Are you living with the joy of the Lord as your strength? These difficult days are wonderful opportunities for each of us to serve toward the building of the kingdom.

A Supreme Blessing

I love to listen to podcasts, specifically podcasts on leadership. As such a young leader it is important for me to learn and grow in my leadership abilities but more than that, to grow in God. This podcast has been a supreme blessing to me in both areas.
