If you want to see God do amazing things, you need to lift Him up and put Him first. Carrying the Ark of the Covenant represented lifting up God's throne on earth, placing Him at the front of the line.

Satan has tricked the world into believing it's an even fight. Good versus evil? That's a lie. It's like a battle between your boot and an ant. It's just a whole lot of squashing.

Are we making disciples of Jesus, or disciples of our organizations? 👀

There's a big difference between developing people into who God created them to be and developing them into who our churches need them to become.

Jesus didn't try to make Peter into John. He developed each disciple according to their unique gifts and personalities while teaching them to become more like Him.

Discipleship should produce Christlikeness, not organizational loyalty!

Discover why 'servant' is the highest title. The greatest among us are called to serve, not by worldly titles like prophet or king, but by their actions.

Opportunities for God to do miraculous things arise when we're willing to step into them. Noah built an ark, a monumental task he'd never faced before, by following God's precise instructions. His choice to step into that ark saved his family.

True courage doesn't mean you're fearless. It means you're afraid, maybe even terrified, but you do it anyway. God often calls us to things that feel impossible.

REAL LEADERSHIP ISN'T THREATENED WHEN SOMEONE ELSE SHINES.

One of the things we talk about in Planted With Purpose is learning to lead in a way that helps the people around you flourish.

You don't always have to get the credit. You don't always need your name in the headline. Sometimes one of the greatest signs of healthy leadership is being able to step back and say, “Look at what THEY did!”

This clip comes from Joseph: The Servant Leader, one of seven leadership sessions in our Planted With Purpose: Cultivating Kingdom Leaders curriculum.

And I'm excited to FINALLY say...

🌱 THE ENTIRE COURSE IS NOW AVAILABLE! 🙌🏾

Joseph. Abraham. Moses. David. Nehemiah. Peter. Jesus.

Seven biblical leaders. Seven different leadership lessons. One complete curriculum designed to help you become a healthier, more effective Kingdom leader.

And we've made the entire video course available FREE inside the Plain English Academy community on SKOOL.

If you've been wanting to grow as a leader, jump in and start going through it at your own pace!

Your fear yields nothing. Faith, however, means continuing forward despite fear because you believe in His promises. God rewards those who diligently seek Him.

Satan's goal: stop you from taking those silent steps of faith. The Bible talks about a flooding Jordan, and the Israelites marched towards it with the ark, seeing nothing change. It's easy to doubt when you're heading into a raging river and God hasn't revealed the path yet. That's precisely when Satan tries to whisper, knowing God shows up when you enter the situation.
