  • 2.58 - This Is Why People Visit Your Church Once and Never Come Back. Feat. Andrew Gantt
    Apr 22 2025

    Hey Pastor!

    In this can't-miss episode, Kevin sits down with Andrew Gantt—a towering figure in more ways than one—to explore the powerful, often-forgotten biblical principle of hospitality. Not the "cookies and coffee in the lobby" kind, but the real-deal, Jesus-modeled hospitality that brings healing, connection, and transformation to people’s lives.

    From motorcycle outreach to culinary leadership, Andrew shares how his unusual path led him to a deep revelation: hospitality and discipleship are one and the same. Together, they tackle what’s broken in church culture today, why most “hospitality committees” are missing the mark, and how pastors can lead the way toward authentic, healing relationships.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why hospitality is more than food—it’s about creating safe spaces for healing.
    • How Jesus showed hospitality through tears, not just miracles.
    • The surprising connection between hospitality and church growth (or stagnation).
    • Three types of hospitality your church should be practicing right now.
    • What it looks like to live out hospitality as a personal testimony.

    If you’ve ever wondered why your church isn’t connecting like it used to, this episode will hit home.

  • 2.57 - THIS is Blocking the Blessing You are Seeking!
    Apr 15 2025

    Hey Pastor,

    Could the thing standing between you and your breakthrough... be you?

    In this deep and personal episode of Pastors Thriving, Kevin explores a powerful idea: Resistance to change might be the very thing blocking the blessing you’ve been praying for.

    We often preach about resisting the enemy, but what about the subtle, spiritual resistance that shows up as hesitation, fear, or old rhythms? This episode dives into what it really looks like to release resistance and embrace the change God is leading you into—both in ministry and in your personal life.

    Inside This Episode:

    • The surprising reason resistance might be sabotaging your calling
    • Why Jonah’s story is still all of our story
    • How pastors unknowingly resist the very blessing they’re asking God to bring
    • A reframe on desire, faith, and God's abundance that might just blow your mind
    • Real talk on finances, favor, real estate, and the risks that lead to reward

    Key Quote: "Desire plus non-resistance equals the desired outcome. Most of us have the desire—it's time to drop the resistance."

  • 2.56 - Pastor, You Don’t Have to Have It All Together – God’s Grace is Piling Up Just for You
    Apr 8 2025

    Hey Pastor,

    In this vulnerable, hope-filled episode of Pastors Thriving, Kevin drops the strategies and steps for a moment to speak straight to your soul. If you’ve been feeling worn down, running on empty, or secretly wondering if God’s grace is still for you — this one’s for you.

    Kevin shares a personal story of restoration that changed everything for him — a retreat to a cabin where God whispered a phrase that would fuel him for the next decade: “My grace is good for you too.”

    You’ll walk away reminded that:

    • You don’t have to have it all together.
    • It’s okay to be broken — just not alone.
    • Coaching and spiritual support aren't just helpful… they’re vital.
    • The grace you pour out on others is meant to pile up in you too.

    This episode is a lifeline for pastors who need to be pastored — for the ones who feel like they’ve hit a lid, and for those who are ready to receive more from God.

  • 2.55 - Are You Discipling the Wrong People? Most Pastors Are—and Don’t Know It
    Apr 1 2025

    Hey Pastor!

    Ever feel like your church is doing a lot of stuff but not really making disciples? You’re running programs, hosting small groups, and pouring hours into your messages, but real transformation still feels out of reach. The problem? Most churches try to disciple everyone the same way—and end up reaching no one effectively.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down why a broad discipleship approach isn’t working and how you can sharpen your focus to reach the right people with the right strategy.

    👉 Think about this: Jesus didn’t disciple everyone the same way. Paul didn’t either. So why should we?

    Key Takeaways:

    • Why the "whoever shows up" model doesn’t work for real discipleship
    • How Jesus and Paul both targeted their discipleship efforts
    • 3 clear steps to define exactly who you should be discipling
    • How to build a discipleship path that actually gets results

    Want a practical plan to multiply disciples?! Join the Make More Disciples Challenge, where I walk pastors through the exact process to identify, equip, and mobilize disciples in their churches. Sign up for my next webinar today.

    Let me know how I can serve you!
