Who are we leading people to? Or to whom are we leading them? Do we want them to become good church goers, ethical and gracious people, proper church attenders, or followers of Jesus?
Jeff talks about discipleship.

When you're bored, lacking purpose or mission - that's a great time for us to engage in and indulge in our vices. Without intentionality and purpose, we can move toward over eating, over drinking, shopping, drugs, alcohol, porn use, illicit relationships, etc.
Research shows that being on mission with a clear life purpose keeps us away from the edges and fringes of life - and helps us to desire to walk the straight and narrow. In anticipation of a larger discussion on Saturday, May 28th's Weekend Edition, Jeff talks about porn use and purpose, or a lack of it! 5/21/2022 0 Comments Weekend Edition 07 - How A Former Air Force Pilot Used His Military Training To Pastor A Healthy And Growing Church
Ever wonder what it would take to get your ministry organized and on track in your church? To get your ministry leaders and staff on the same page? To have a team that does the work of the ministry, and you equip and train them? Rob Storey shares how to accomplish those things and more in this episode!
Rob Storey was a 20 year Helicopter pilot in the U.S. Air Force, then a lead pastor in Colorado, and finally a District Superintendent in his denomination in Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa. Rob is retiring and returning to Grand Junction CO to spend more time with seven kids and 18 grandchildren! Rob shares his perspectives on pastors, churches, lay leaders, and how they can work together to produce a healthy and growing church. He experienced that in his 15 years of ministry in one church, and you will learn much from this conversation with him at his office in Omaha. 
If sitting really is the new smoking, then what is the cost of sitting? Jeff shares some data on what the cost is from sitting all day in a sedentary lifestyle. Too many pastors live sedentary lives. That's bad (as me and my kids say).
Jeff shares the info, then some suggestions on how to make things better for YOU. 
Did you know that weekly, rote, processes and programs do not bond believers? They lull them into ruts, but they do not deepen relationships. Unique, shared experiences bond believers together. That's the perspective Jeff talks about today! Enjoy.

Healthy pastors are healthy because they take action when it is needed - as soon as it is needed. They are humble and are not afraid to admit a fault or sin. They know they can't be a lone ranger and need others to help them in both their life and their ministry.
Pastors who take the necessary action at the right time to get help, are often the healthiest pastors. When we are struggling and failing, but keep our sins and fears to ourselves, we set ourselves up for failure. Health pastors take action! What action do you need to take today? 
Many pastors view porn. It is a tragic reality. It is a weapon Satan uses to hobble the people of God and the servants of God. Do you view porn? I'm not saying you're addicted or anything - I'm just asking if you view it? Regularly? Real regularly? Frequently or infrequently? Too much? Just enough? Maybe a little? Etc. Etc. You see my point. Porn rots our souls.
Of course, our threshold for porn is much higher now than it used to be. So much of what is considered normal viewing would have been considered pornographic forty years ago. There is HOPE. Today I want to give you a simple, yet serious solution on how to begin the process of crawling out of a porn addiction. It's not easy. But it is doable! You can do it. It's not rocket science, but you have to take a few steps. Here we go... 5/14/2022 0 Comments Weekend Edition 06 - From Nebraska To New York City - Moe Dixon's Church Planting Adventures!

The time is not moving any more slowly - it seems like everything in life is moving at breakneck speed, and this episode is a friendly reminder to think about the important things of life. Enjoy! |
