    190. Ministry Multiplication (Part 1 of 5)

    #190 –  Success in ministry is not measured by what you do. Success in ministry is measured by what happens if you never returned. There’s no denying that there will be a day when you are no longer in charge of your ministry. Whether because of a transition or your eventual retirement, there will be a day when you are no longer in charge. When that day comes, will you be leaving behind a mess? Or will the person inheriting your ministry be blessed? 



    In this 5-part series, we will be walking through key moments throughout the biblical narrative that highlight the importance of multiplying yourself and building up leaders to do the work of the ministry.

    There’s no denying that the world of technology has completely changed how we function as a society.

    #187 - If you’ve been a ministry leader for more than 15 minutes, you’ve likely experienced some form of crisis. The last few years have been filled with chaos, unexpected realities, and yes - crisis. Now, situations of crisis are usually out of our control, however on today’s episode of the podcast, we sit down with our friend Esther Moreno and discuss how some people can be more prone to crisis - not necessarily because of their circumstances, but because of their personal tendencies.

    186. Multisite Ministry Insights

    #186 - While many ministry leaders wish their ministries were bigger and reaching more people, many often overlook the added complexity that comes with growth. It’s one thing to lead a large ministry at a large church, it’s an entirely different thing leading a large ministry over multiple campuses. On today’s episode of the podcast, we sit down with our friend Delia Cornwell and talk about how she manages leading at a multisite church.

I just finished episode 171 “Leading on Autopilot”
I’ve never listened to a podcast and wanted to immediately listen again, so I could take down notes so I don’t forget, and then apply it to my life! Thank you for your leadership Josh and bringing on the right people to speak. I needed this deeply!
