Hello, friend! You know, there’s a common misconception that the person standing behind the pulpit has it all figured out—that they’ve somehow bypassed the struggles and the need for daily growth that everyone else faces. But I’ll let you in on a little secret: I don’t just preach to you; I preach to myself.
In this video, ‘I Speak on What I Need to Hear,’ I want to talk about the vital role of authenticity in ministry. One of the biggest mistakes a preacher can make is acting like they are above the message. I’ve found that the most powerful moments of Bible application happen when the barriers come down and we realize we’re all students of the Word together. I share from my heart because I need the truth of Scripture just as much as you do. Let’s talk about why being a fellow-struggler makes the message of grace so much more real.
