Today we have Dr. Vani Marshall back on the podcast! As most of you know, Dr Marshall is a cognitive therapist with a Doctorate in Counselling and a Masters in Psychology. She is also an Evangelist and Missionary with a passion to help people.  Dr Marshall and I planned to do a Q and A of a number of questions from the audience for this episode but when she began unpacking her thoughts around avoiding burnout, we decided to narrow the focus of our discussion today instead of answering the other questions which we hope to get to in the future. In this episode, Dr Marshall talks about the need for rest and setting boundaries to prevent burnout. She provides practical advice for avoiding burnout while highlighting the importance of taking care of your spiritual, physical and mental health. We also discuss the effect this can have on the family and much more. ------------ Book discussed in the episode: The Self-Care Prescription by Robyn Gobin  ------------ Subscribe to Dr Vani Marshall’s YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@DrVaniMarshall ------------ Takeaways Rest and setting boundaries are crucial for avoiding burnout in ministry. Pastors and ministers should rotate duties, delegate tasks, and take scheduled time off. Prioritizing what is important over what is urgent is key to preventing burnout. Taking care of one's physical and mental health is essential in ministry. Setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care is crucial in ministry to avoid burnout. Blocking out important dates and times for family and personal rest is essential. Communication with senior leaders about family needs and ministry responsibilities is key. Courage and conviction are necessary to communicate boundaries and prioritize self-care. Burnout not only affects the individual but also has a significant impact on families and children. Prioritizing family and creating a safe and secure environment is essential for healthy ministry. ------------ Truth Radio App - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/truthradioapp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----------- A new portion of the show is only available to those who have subscribed to FOWNTN - so make sure to check it out, they do offer a 7 day free trial for all new subscribers.

Today we are blessed to be joined by Benjamin Cashen! He is owner of Cashen Creative and currently serves on staff at CLC in Heath, Ohio. He is a creative that has been a blessing to the church serving at conferences and events. We had a great conversation about his life and ministry. He shared his advice for those getting involved in ministry, we talked about the importance of having a willingness to learn, why social media matters for the local church, and much more. --------- Cashen Creative - https://www.cashencreative.com --------- Takeaways Be available and open to different opportunities in ministry Don't pigeonhole yourself into one specific role or skillset Embrace flexibility and be willing to learn new things Fill gaps and serve where there is a need Creating content for social media in a local church requires a balance between staying relevant and authentic, while also representing the vision and message of the church. Investing in creative spaces, such as social media, is crucial for reaching the wider community and fulfilling the Great Commission. By serving in creative ministry and presenting the message of the gospel through various media, the Holy Spirit can touch the lives of many people, even those who may never physically step foot in a church. ---------- Truth Radio App - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/truthradioapp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----------- A new portion of the show is only available to those who have subscribed to FOWNTN - so make sure to check it out, they do offer a 7 day free trial for all new subscribers.

We have been  blessed over the last nearly 3 years of this podcast to be joined some amazing men and women of God who have served the Lord and the church for many years - leaving a legacy. Every time I have someone on the podcast who I consider an Elder, I like to get them to share their advice for those who are involved in ministry or are feeling the call of God on their life. I decided that it would be a great resource for you all if I compiled them all into one episode. You'll hear from John Downs, Dr David Norris, Richard and Nancy Grandquist, Stan Gleason, Keith and Dr Janice Sjostrand, Raymond Woodward and Harold Hoffman. ---------- Truth Radio App - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/truthradioapp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----------- A new portion of the show is only available to those who have subscribed to FOWNTN - so make sure to check it out, they do offer a 7 day free trial for all new subscribers.

Today we are joined by AJ Holloway. He is a travelling Evangelist and a powerful preacher of the Gospel who ministers in the prophetic. He is also one of the hosts of The Miqra Podcast that I am a big fan of.  We had a great conversation about his life and ministry, he shared about how he found peace and strength in God through great loss, we talked about the biggest challenge for leaders that he sees, a paradigm shift he had recently that changed his walk with God, and much more.  ------------ The Miqra Podcast - https://linktr.ee/miqra.biblestudy ----------- Takeaways Spending time in prayer and studying the Word of God is crucial for developing a strong foundation for ministry. Trusting in God's timing and not being anxious about the future is essential for finding peace and strength in ministry. Seasons of loss can be challenging, but relying on God and acknowledging His presence can bring comfort and guidance. Introspection and taking time to ponder and meditate on God's Word and His plans can lead to a deeper understanding of His will. Acknowledging God in all aspects of life and ministry allows Him to direct our paths and bring about His plans. Prayer and faith can lead to unexpected miracles and solutions in difficult situations. The support and love of a church community can be a source of strength and healing in times of tragedy. Understanding righteousness as doing well for others can lead to a paradigm shift in how we live and interact with others. In a post-Christian society, it is important for Christians to be a light and hold the lines of truth with love. ---------- Truth Radio App - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/truthradioapp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----------- A new portion of the show is only available to those who have subscribed to FOWNTN - so make sure to check it out, they do offer a 7 day free trial for all new subscribers.

This is an informal conversation with Mike Hackathorn where we discuss wide-ranging topics. In this conversation, we discuss the apparent contradiction between Paul and James regarding faith and works. We explore the context of their writings and argue that they are not actually in disagreement. We emphasize the importance of understanding the different points each author is making and how they address different issues. We also discuss the meaning of justification and how it relates to salvation. --------- Truth Radio App - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/truthradioapp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----------- A new portion of the show is only available to those who have subscribed to FOWNTN - so make sure to check it out, they do offer a 7 day free trial for all new subscribers.

Today we are blessed to be joined by Luke St. Clair! He is the Pastor of First Pentecostal Church in Anderson, IN. He is a powerful preacher and author of The Whole Man, which we talked about today.  We had a great conversation about his life and ministry. He shared his insight on prayer, we talked about how to develop a consistent prayer life, why he felt compelled to write the book, and much more. ----------- The Whole Man by Luke St. Clair - https://linktr.ee/truthbookco ----------- Takeaways Prayer is essential in the Christian walk and should be a lifestyle rather than an add-on. Praying the Word of God is powerful and helps align our prayers with God's will. The mind is often the battleground in spiritual warfare, and praying over the mind is crucial. The goal of prayer is not just inspiration but activation, where we see the transformative power of the Kingdom of God in action. We are living in a time of hunger and groaning for revival, and we should expect God to move now and use us to bring about change. --------- Truth Radio App - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/truthradioapp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----------- A new portion of the show is only available to those who have subscribed to FOWNTN - so make sure to check it out, they do offer a 7 day free trial for all new subscribers.

Today we welcome back to the podcast Dan MacLeod. He is an Evangelist and church planter that has ministered around the world. If you want to hear of bit of his story, check out Episode 55. We also talked to him about Spiritual Warfare in Episode 119, which is one of our most downloaded episodes. I asked him to come back on to talk to us about his insight surrounding the spirit of fear and how to overcome it. This conversation is sure to be a blessing you and I want to encourage you to share it with others so that they too can overcome fear in their own life. ----------- Takeaways Fear is never of God, and the spirit of fear deceives individuals into believing things about God that are not true. The spirit of fear corrupts our motives, robs us of confidence and ability, and clouds our ability to make good decisions. It is important to focus on God's presence and truth rather than being influenced by circumstances. Perfect love casts out fear, and we can overcome fear by aligning our minds with Scripture and trusting in the Fatherhood of God. Praying through in the Spirit is a powerful tool to overcome fear and experience the provision and peace of God. Fear weaves itself with the circumstances of life, causing torment and stealing peace, joy, and blessings. Living in sustained victory over fear requires a revelation of the Fatherhood of God and a consistent prayer life. ----------- Truth Radio App - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/truthradioapp⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----------- A new portion of the show is only available to those who have subscribed to FOWNTN - so make sure to check it out, they do offer a 7 day free trial for all new subscribers.

He is an International Evangelist based out of Eastwind Pentecostal Church in Palm Bay, FL.  We had a great conversation about his life and ministry. He shared the amazing Morgan family story, we discussed some advice he received from his uncle - Mark Morgan, what excites him about his generation, why sacrifice is so important, and much more. --------- Takeaways Find your purpose in ministry and don't compare yourself to others. The impact of one person's decision to follow God can have a generational legacy. Be a man or woman of God, not just a preacher. Approach studying and executing preaching with prayer and being led by the Spirit. The information generation is willing to fight for what they believe in, so provide them with correct information and a strong foundation. The challenge of comfort can hinder consecration and sacrifice, so be willing to go beyond convenience and comfort. Embrace the pioneer spirit and be willing to dig deep and work hard to establish something greater. ----------- Truth Radio App - ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/truthradioapp⁠⁠⁠ ----------- A new portion of the show is only available to those who have subscribed to FOWNTN - so make sure to check it out, they do offer a 7 day free trial for all new subscribers.
