In this episode of the Unseen Leadership podcast, Chandler Vannoy and Josh Hunter are joined by Robby Gallaty who is the Senior Pastor of Long Hollow Baptist Church, the founder of Replicate Ministries, host of the Making Disciples podcast, and the author of several books, including Growing Up. During their conversation, they discuss the importance of discipleship, how to empower others in ministry, and dealing with pride. QUOTES FROM EPISODE 20: “Even through the difficult times and the good times, God never wastes a hurt and he never wastes an opportunity in our past. He is going to use those experiences to refine us.” “The ministry you are leading will only grow to the capacity you will allow it.” “You need to yield to the Holy Spirit for him to work in you to work through you.” “Ministry is received, not achieved.” “Steward what you’ve been given with excellence and trust God with the rest.” “Sadly in ministry, we’ve become managers of spreadsheets, not shepherds of sheep.” “Young leaders overestimate what can be done in the short term and they underestimate what God can do in the long run.” “Pride’s favorite mask is humility.” “Your spiritual maturity will only grow to the level of your emotional health.” “For many of us, our calendar runs us, we don’t run our calendar.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Lectures to My Students by Charles Spurgeon Emotionally Healthy Leader by Pete Scazzero Garden City by John Mark Comer The Light Phone This Episode's Sponsor: Every church must be equipped to respond well in the initial stages of learning about instances of sexual, physical, or emotional abuse.
