The 'Myth' of Balance | #010

This is perhaps one of the most applicable and practical episodes yet, sure to help Senior & Lead Pastors looking to empower team, church staff deal with ministry frustrations, and volunteers who are wanting to step up in their serving and building of the vision of their local church. -
The 'Art' of Preaching | #008
Come behind the curtain with the guys as they speak openly and honestly about what it means to preach, and connect with both the truth of your message and the people you're trying to reach.
This episode will help your own preaching, or if you're trying to develop new people in this space... even if you just love listening to great preaching, this episode will give you a look behind the curtain! -
Authenticity - Who even are you? | #007
In this episode, Dave and Rick dive deep into the concept of authenticity and ask the question, is authenticity important or is it just a cop-out?
In light of the transformation that God is doing, which version me even IS the 'authentic self'?
This episode offers valuable perspectives that you won't want to miss. -
Sunday 'Bashing' | #006
Dave & Rick discuss a recent trend taking place amongst critics of the local church... Sunday Bashing!
Join us as we have a conversation about why, having a high sense of 'church clarity' is essential for a pastor or leader to bring clear direction to the people God has entrusted them to lead. -
Blessing Blockers | #005
As pastors, we love to see people thriving and walking in the blessing of God, however blessing is all too often BLOCKED by thoughts and habits that get picked up along life's journey. Dave and Rick discuss what might be stopping you from all the BLESSING God has for you!
