Next Step Leadership Chris Maxwell & Tracy Reynolds

This episode in the second interview with Pastor Stacy Cope. Chris and Tracy ask you to join them as they listen to Pastor Stacy’s stories. Parts of his narrative are included in the books he has written. When you think about his books, when you read them, be sure to remember this: Pastor Stacy never expected to be able to write books. Like each of us, he is a miracle. Like each of us, God uses weaknesses and pain and struggles to bring us a victory. As today’s people are being called by God to do what they do not feel capable of doing, we need to remember that our calling is not dependent on our strengths. Someone who struggles to read might become an author. Someone who never wants to minister might become a pastor. Someone who has failed might be the very leader to guide a multitude of people toward victory. Believe again. Trust God again. Lead with the awareness that God will lead others through leaders like Pastor Stacy and leaders like you.

Tracy Reynolds and Chris Maxwell are honored to have a conversation with Pastor Stacy Cope. Pastor Cope is a tremendous story teller. And he has many stories to tell. Like each guest Tracy and Chris welcome on the Next Step Leadership Podcast, this episode begins with the testimony of Pastor Cope. Listening to his story, leaders will hear again how God finds people in many places and guides them into ministry. Bi-vocational clergy are common these days. Many churches cannot afford full time leaders. Many pastors choose to continue other careers. Pastor Cope offers a healthy perspective to encourage today’s ministers to see the other job as their “pulpit.” Listen to his stories and think of how you can lead well while loving what you do, who you serve, and how your story can make a difference in the lives of many people. Let wherever you work and whatever you do be your pulpit. Lead there. Love there.

This episode of Next Step Leadership continues the conversation with Erik Goss. Experiences which seemed to shut doors can actually become opportunities which opened doors. How does that fit in your story? How can your grim situation be the right time for God to turn a desert into an oasis? Have you forgotten the truth of God’s deep love for you? What are ways we can become more aware of the Holy Spirit’s presence with us no matter what else we are facing? God wants to transform us and help us recognize His character amid our chaos. God’s love doesn’t end. God’s love is steadfast. Whenever we face hardships, God meets us there. Are we willing to trust God during those times? Erik invites us to find that new way of living where God is with us.

In this week’s episode of Next Step Leadership, Tracy and Chris enjoy their conversation with Erik Goss. Today’s leaders need to hear from Erik. He offers years of experience in providing ways of connecting with children through media. Rather than just telling children what not to watch, why don’t we offer them better options to learn truth through today’s outlets? Eric’s media and technology company seeks to provide families with ways people can experience Jesus in a real way. He has learned much working with various companies. His lessons can teach us all how God opens new doors when other doors close. In industrial complexes the gospel is needed. Ministry types of vocations can be crafted in unexpected ways. We do not always need to follow our initial assumptions. We can join Eric and fight through disappointments, depression, and closed doors. From a crisis, a new opportunity can arrive. Be ready. See what God will do through what felt impossible.
