  • Ep. 29 -- (Ministry) - Get Organized! (Calendar)
    Oct 28 2024

    This one is geared specifically towards ministers and organizing your ministry. Chocked full of very practical advice, Steve shares experience from his time in ministry of how organization pays off.

    Taking you through the process of planning, the guys say you should:

    1. Pray

    2. Where do you want to go and goals to achieve.

    3. Calendar, put it on the calendar asap.

    4. Big events such as camp, missions, retreats, and DNow should be on the calendar a year in advance.

    5. Meet with staff and team to verify the goals and directions, themes.

    6. Reserve and make plans of buses, finances, help, and costs.

    7. Keep a list, folder, file with all information with in it. This allows everyone working on it to know where to find it.

    8. Make a needs list overview with a checklist so you can write down when something was done, with whom, how via email, call, text, etc.

    9. This list needs to be worked or looked at minimally each month.

  • Ep 28 - Politics & Election Decisions
    Oct 14 2024

    Sometimes decisions are very clear cut, and sometimes they are a little more difficult. When it comes to politics and deciding who to vote for (especially with the 2024 Presidential elections coming up so quickly here in the U.S.) sometimes you need a tool to filter through what everyone else is telling you, and listen to what the Holy Spirit says. We don't take sides and we won't tell you who to vote for, but we will be using the acronym F.A.I.T.H. to evaluate Family, Abortion, Israel, Text (scripture) and Heart.

  • Ep. 27 - The Gospel, our DNA, and never giving up
    Oct 1 2024

    Have you ever heard the term "the gospel" and cringed, or felt like you had to think up a clever way of telling people about Jesus? Maybe you went through some kind of training in the past or learned a formula. How do we live our lives where the Gospel is the center of it? Is it really that important? Do you ever have times where you feel like you've tried and tried but the Gospel just isn't getting through to the people you share it with. Today, Steve and Matt talk about what it means to live with the Gospel at the center of your DNA.
